Once in a while, you should leave the water and explore the mountains! When we sailed along the Costa del Sol, we saw the mountains on the coastline becoming higher and higher. The Sierra Nevada in the South Spain means 'snowy mountain range' in Spanish. From our catamaran we saw the snowy peaks in the distance. In the harbor of Almerimar we rented a car for a day and had an amazing trip through the Sierra Nevada. A lot of sunshine, little white villages and always a view on the water as well. After the Alps, this is the highest mountain range in Europe, with a total of 16 peaks above 3000 meters.
Hairy conditions on Thursday of Cowes Week which was also the third day of the XOD Centenary regatta. We're aboard XOD Class Captain William Norris's Beatrix with Vernon Nock (64) in the front of the boat and International Foiling Moth sailor (!) Peter Barton on the helm. William couldn't be aboard that day because he was on the Royal Yacht Squadron Platform with the Princess Royal who fired the starting cannon for this special race. In his place was Yachting World editor David Glenn. Unfortunately Beatrix was OCS which was apparently made clear to William Norris by the Princess Royal as the sail numbers were duly called out. We hope he didn't lay the blame too firmly at YW's doorstep! Despite the hiccup it was a truly great day's racing followed by a superb Centenary dinner party for 400 back in Cowes.
