One of our Facebook friends, Jeremy, advised us to go to Moraira which apparently was very pretty - and after doing some shorter research on Google, we found out that Moraira indeed could be something worth trying. We arrived very late in the night, like always, 25 knots of wind was pushing us from South straight towards the tight entrance full of rocks and shallow water. But we made it through safely and could get a more or less peaceful sleep docked up to the gasolinera. When we woke up this morning we realized what an incredibly beautiful place it was that we've arrived to. Such a genuine and somewhat untouched (at least very quiet now in off season) little fisherman's town with class and sophisticated style.
We decided to make the Sunday breakfast into a champagne breakfast to celebrate a couple of things. Firstly, as we just received some wonderful, fantastic news from home which involves two very dear friends of ours - news which also reminds of what, too, is a beautiful meaning of life, and second of all because we just noticed that we are now closer to Africa than we are to where we started - and it suddenly feels more real than ever, this journey that we have embarked on.
We will stay here in Moraira for the day to finish a couple of smaller boat projects and move on towards Torrevieja later on. The weather is fantastic, 26°C (78°F) already in the morning and perfect Westerly winds are forecasted for the afternoon.
All of my love today goes to you two at home, I so wish I could have been there with you as we speak. /Taru
