In the morning, we headed on up the harbour, and secured to the Real Club Náutico's pontoon in the Dársena de la Marina. Here, at very reasonable expense, we had all the facilities of the fine city beside us, and spent two days making the most of them. We also encountered a fancy sloop called the 'Santa Lucia'. She had a very interesting rig on a massive unstayed carbon-fibre mast; what interested me particularly was its potential for use on a commercial fishing-boat; no stays to get in the way, and sails that could be handled remotely from the wheel-house. However, she had suffered considerable sail damage in the Biscay weather that had not troubled the 'Anna M' at all (whatever about her crew!)
