Closer and closer to Barcelona
We’ve booked into a marina in Barcelona from the 8th December so we are currently dawdling along the coast, taking our time to do the last few miles. We don’t want to arrive early as the daily rate at the marina is high. We booked for a month and got a much better rate. That said 5 miles outside Barcelona and the rates drop dramatically but we thought we’d treat ourselves to some time in Barcelona before heading further south.
On the way along the coast from St Feliu we’ve stopped at Blanes - had three days here, great town, full of life, good fishy tapas, nice beach, great little cala within walking distance of the harbour, El Masnou - officially our most boring and expensive place to date, and Badalona - nice place and good value.

Sailing for just a few hours each day has been very relaxing and the weather has been very kind - light winds and blue skies. Being a sailor, I’m never happy and a bit more wind at times would have been good!

Tomorrow is Barcelona - bit of a milestone for us as we said 15 years ago we’d sail our previous boat here but got somewhat distracted along the way - too many interesting places to see!
Planning on a night out in the town.
