A day at sea..

We started to with breakfast again on the roof top terrace..we had a different table today.  We have seen very few other guests but everyone ina while we catchy a glimps of someone..there are only 7 rooms here and I think at most times moser staff than guests.


Today we spent most of the day on a 42 ' sailing yacht.  We boarded about 945am..in weather that looked a little iffy..there were a few raindrops falling but the water was calm..it hardly ever rain here! Gerlinda met us when we arrived.  She is from Belgium and here working for the summer.  She just graduated from high school where she studied all kinds of maritime rules and regulations.  She need to get so many hours on a boat to get fully certified.

Peter our captain for the day arrived a few minutes later with the rest of the days passengers. There were 5 other all from GB.  We are meeting a lot of people from Great Britain..it is just a quick 2 hour flight for them so many of them vacation here.  He did mention that he has has a lot of guests from the US recently ...some good deals going on with airfare.

The water was very calm and the wind was pretty low so we were not able to out the sails up for a while.. it at one point the wind did finally pick up and the sails went up and the engine went off.  Gerlinda told us that the bonus they get each week depend on how little gas they use..I guess a good way to make sure they are sailing whenever possible..which is what most people want.  Peter was a true sailor and has travelled and sailed all over the world.  He has been here in Marbella for 2 years.

After the wind died down we went into Puerto Banus where we sailed past all of the super yachts...they were pretty amazing..we heard the Ivanka and Tiffany Trump are both here this week.

We had some more wine and beer as we headed back to old town Marbella...we walked two of our new friends into old town so they could explore the town.  They are staying about 25 minutes away.

Of course it was siesta time..we are definitely getting used to this...we wandered around and found a nice little place for dinner called Marbella Patio..we enjoyed a nice dinner, and bottle of wine.

We wandered around and came across a concert in the square..we saw the last two songs..at one  point a man go put in front of the crowd yelling something..then jumped on stage and grabbed the mic and started yelling...it was not part of the show..security quickly escorted ( escorted is probably too nice of a word..he did not want to get off stage) him off the stage and they did not look very happy...interesting though they did not make him Leave..he sat down on a bench in the back of the area.


We finished our night with a little gelato and off to bed..another day in the books..
