Rota / Chipiona

Had another go today at making bread as I'd found another recipe but whilst the bread was OK the damn thing glued itself to the pan and as a result it ended up as potential bait for Carole's fishing - third time lucky.


We left Rota fairly early today, 15/03/11, to head off to Chipiona we ended up motoring the whole way as the wind died and left a sloppy sea in which we rocked and rolled our way along the coast.

Near to the entrance to the port we found a quiet but pretty shallow bay so anchored up for some fishing in the afternoon sun. Carole fished while I faffed around in the lockers trying to find a vibration that is starting to become a pain. Despite using my best bread as bait the sucess rate was the same as usual.

We pulled up the anchor and found it had become much heavier than normal. A rock had wedged itself into the anchor and I couldn't shake it off. We ended up motoring the last few hundred yards into the harbour with the thing hanging off the front of the bow until we could get to it and unhook it.
