Cala de San Pedro - Garucha - Cama de los Novios - La Subida, Murcia

La Subida, Murcia


WEDNESDAY 2 - FRIDAY 4 JULY 2008

On Wednesday we sailed to Garucha where we stayed in the Marina. Garucha is a seaside town which has everything you need, including a Mercadona within easy walking distance and excellent Feretarias.

Garucha Marina: 30euros, no WiFi; Fuel: 109 euros - 1.36 euros per litre.

The next day we tacked for about 20 miles to a small bay called Cama de los Novios which seemed quite sheltered, although the wind was blowing about a Force 4. However, after a magical evening with a BBQ, wine, music and star watching, we were woken about 4 a.m. because the boat had began to roll very badly.

We left about 8 a.m. and sailed the 26 miles to La Subida in Murcia. The wind was blowing a strong Force 5 by the time we arrived and we had to pick our way through the tunny fish traps, fishing buoys and mooring buoys, but once anchored in Ensenada de Mazarron we were very sheltered. After lunch and a siesta we swam ashore and went to the café where we were served by an Irishman from Dublin who lives in the village with his wife. Another lovely evening with a BBQ and watching the sun set over the hills.
