Gibraltar to Sant Carles

[John100156]

Reading through I noticed a section stating 'a full english breakfast to set the day up'.
I know we are all different, but prior to long days at sea too much acidic food (orange juice and tomato) and animal fat does tend to make some stomachs a little uneasy

not in this case JC's stomach is prepared for anything isnt it John? ;~)

Hey Hurricane's not too far behind, I'm training him up! To be honest, the only thing that makes my stomach uneasy on a long trip is the fuel gauge as it moves toward the empty, I get really sea sick at the sight!

Well, did you get that spare engine sorted for your jet boat? I noticed your other thread....

its a shame that you didn't take more time in Moraira, nor Calpé, nor Altea
its a nice area,
I teached my uncle to sail his benetau 620 in that area.
lovely place around the Penon de Ifach (that big rock)

We were moored in Denia for a season and although that particular coastline is quite attractive, the problem is the prevailing wind which is mostly onshore and during the summer, there are the afternoon sea breezes as well which increase the strength of the wind further. This often causes quite boisterous seas to build up close to the shore especially as the waves are reflected off the steep cliffs. The result is that many of the anchorages listed in the pilot book are often unusable and, in fact, the only well sheltered anchorage we found was off Moraira. In fact we got fed up with this and every chance we got, we went off to Ibiza about 70nm away which is a far better cruising area and less windy. Actually I wouldn't particularly recommend the Costa Blanca as a cruising area generally and I much prefer the Balearics

This is an old thread but the boat still exists - but with a new owner.
Anyone know who owns her now?


Actually, I know - she is still a forum boat.
