Hello from Herredura - between Malaga and Almeria

First a note for sailors about Ceuta.  Our pilot and several cruising forums described it as very good value for money and with the cheapest fuel near the Med.  No longer true!!  The marina, very cramped for Stravaigin,  which had extremely basic facilities and mooring lines some of which were nearly through,  was the same price as marinas we'd visited in Cadiz and Alcoutim. Luckily, before we fuelled, Mike asked a charter skipper how prices were in Gib - the answer was cheaper by a little on fuel and a LOT on the marinas!  We were subsequently asked by Vickie on Bella Luna whether we had fuelled in Ceuta, as they had been having fuel problems since they filled up there - nothing conclusive, but worth logging.

 

 Out with the old, on with the new!

Ceuta's wonderful market

However, it was interesting to be nearly in Morroco and we did have a cracking sail there!
