Sinister looking lighthouse at the deadly Raz du Stein, which was a doddle.

    Hi Brendan. Glad you had a good time with Margaux for her birthday. Thirteen now. How time flies. You must be heading as far south as you have ever been in your boat.

    That's strange. I replied yesterday and it doesn't show. Anyway, thank you Jules, yes, I had a lovely few days with Margaux. I've never had the boat down this way before, wish I could spent time in these places but I'm trying to get to Bilbao by the 6th of September.

The weather is incredible, it's 21c here, 28c in Valencia. The big white birds that I saw on the shore coming in weren't storks, I don't know what they were, these are storks, there's loads of them here in the town centre. I bought oranges in the supermarket yesterday. What a fool! More storks. Sometimes they make a click clucking sound like the zombies in World War Z.

Tuesday 5th September. Algorta old port with Mary. That's the Basque flag that I'm flying. The book says to be safe, fly this flag or if you must fly the Spanish flag definitely don't fly it over the Basque flag. But look..., It seems I have strayed into some kind of falangist, maybe neo fascist marina. But I'm getting 14 nights for 150 euros, so that's ok. 8th September. Sisters.
