Day seventeen - Multi-cala´d (Monday 5th September)
The coastline around Cala dór is riddled with Calas (beaches) and coves to explore. EVen more exciting when the wind is picking up...

Day sixteen - Meeting Michael Douglas (Sunday 4th September)
Ok, so I didn´t actually MEET the leathery one, but his face is plastered all over the place on the West Coast of Mallorca, which is beautiful (the coast, not Michael Douglas´face)
-
Day fifteen - The water in Majorca (Saturday 3rd August)
Ok, so it´s been a while, but there´s a good excuse. The shops in Barcelona are just far too tempting. Anyway am in Mallorca and back on the water.

Day twelve - Eighth wonder of the boating world? (Wednesday 31st August)
After lingering in Sete for longer than we were supposed to, we drove north to the marina to end all marinas - Port Camargue.

I love Britain at this time of year. The cities are empty, the beaches are full and sometimes the sun comes out....

Day eleven - Jet Sete (Tuesday 30th August)
Day two in the Languedoc and I meet a Brit boater in Cap d'Agde who is pulling his hair out at the berthing situation in the Med.
-
Day nine - Bonjour Languedoc! (Monday 29th August)
It's all change as I swap sombreros for berets, and the boating couldn't be more different.

Days eight & nine - City life (27&28 August)
It's a bit of a shock to the system - five days in a friendly seaside resort and now plodding around Spain's third biggest city.

Day six - On the Med AT LAST! (Thursday 25th August)
After nearly a week sitting on peoples´ motorboats and not moving, I finally get out on the water. And the Costa Blanca looks even better from the sea.
-
Day seven - Ola Altea (Friday 26th August)
Already a week into my trip and I feel like I´ve hardly hit the tip of the iceberg as far as the Med is concerned.

Day Five - Discovering the Costa Blanca (Wednesday 24th August)
Am settled in Javea for the next couple of days and can´t believe the Costa Blanca isn´t as popular for boaters as it should be.
-
Day two (Sun 21st) - Costa del Cloud
The sun forgets to shine but I´ve met a group of berthing fee rebels and enjoy a whistle-stop tour of the Cost del Sol´s best anchorages. In the rain.

Day three (Mon 22nd) - Falling in love with Cartagena
I´ve decided where I would keep my boat (when I´m a millionaire). The city of Cartagena is buzzy and chilled out at the same time and the marina is to die for.
-
Day one - Sweaty in Soto
It´s the end of day one and I´ve been bombarded all day with reasons why the Med is the only place to keep your boat.

That settles it. The good Lord must be a yottie or at very least a firm proponent of Murphy's law

From the Editor: August
As some of you already know, I feel rather strongly about the impending Red Diesel issue

From the Editor: July
On the whole, us Brits are a hardy lot.
