Our Sunday in pictures
Blue sky, sunshine, 26°c and we were sailing downwind from Barcelona to El Masnou in a very smooth and wonderful ride. Fishing a bit, tanning a bit, philosophizing and just relaxing on the most beautiful day this year has given us so far. It was perfection!
Alex was taking care of the sails while I was tanning most of the time..
Until he asked me to "at least throw out the fenders, you lazy woman, we're arriving at the harbor!"
So I did. Which seem to have been very amusing..? Should do that more often.
And we arrived at El Masnou.
Which is a small little city around 30 minutes driving with car up north from Barcelona. That's 2,5 hrs sailing.
We had a long walk through the colorful picturesque town in search for an open supermarket, for no reason really. We seemed to have forgotten that we actually are living in Spain and EVERY SHOP is closed Sundays. Very old fashioned and something we never really get used to. Anyway, it was a nice little walk at least.
After an experimental meal in the harbor we headed back to Barcelona.
At some point the wind died out completely and we had to, unfortunately, sail with the engine on for almost half of the trip back.
Nevertheless we could arrive home just in time for the sunset. Simple day but oh so fantastic. Already looking forward to next weekend. The beautiful Costa Brava is on the schedule for that one. /Taru
