| Cala Iris Bay |
Barbara and Tudor left for Malaga and we set off for Cala Iris. Roger realized his fishing hand line had been stolen from the boat. We were quite surprised as the Harbour Master had told us there was no crime here, and people could leave their doors open. However, we thought they probably needed it more than we did, and we can easily get another one.
We had a flat sea all the way and the oil pressure seemed to settle on the red. We think that when it had it’s spasm it shook it lower down the scale. When the engine is off the needle is as far down as it can go, instead of the usual position of ‘0’.
We arrived at Cala Iris, a fairly new fishing port, which is about 3 miles East of where the Pilot Book says it is. A friendly policeman came on board as soon as we arrived with the usual detailed questioning, including how many children we had! He told us they only get about one boat a month coming here, mostly from Spain. This is probably because the Pilot Book is rather vague about facilities for yachts.
Cala Iris makes El-Jebha look like a Metropolis! There are Port Authority and Police buildings, the Co-operative Fishery, fishermen’s cottages and a few basic eating houses.
We went to the beach which was quite busy with Moroccans, but once again not many women. In the evening we went to one of the eating houses and had grilled sardines and chips which cost £5 for two, including drinks.
