Some of you may know this place, near Gib. Seems like there may be as many as 50 people on yachts there during lock down.

Seems like they have got themselves organised together to get shopping delivered from smaller shops like a local butchers, baker, fish monger and off licence. Been really appreciated by local business. Nice to read some good things around at the moment. (y)

A good friend of ours is amongst that big number of liveaboards there at the moment. A lot of the deliveries and networking is being organised by a guy you might remember, ex radio presenter always known as 'Radio Paul'? Top bloke.

Yes, met him in Ceuta first. He set off from the quay with much clattering from the prop drive. When we got back I asked him about it. He was unaware of anything wrong but later on he showed me a knackered holes drive flange, the bolts had come loose!
