Cambrils

The waves stop me now, coming exactly out of the direction, where I want to go. And up to a metre high, it’s no longer pleasant for me. Les Cases, the first harbour in Catalonia, was deserted, no oficina, no marinero. I couldn’t get ashore, so I set off on the 31 nautical miles around the Ebru delta early in the morning. Once again, calm sea and wind. Good, that’s always good weather for taking photos, but the Ebru delta doesn’t offer much.

It’s as flat as marshland, only without dykes.

It’s not easy to find the entrance to the Ebru. Somewhere where the motorboat enters.

The next harbour was L’Ametlla de Mar, a beautiful place, the harbour a bit basic. I could stay here, but once again, the weather forced me to take advantage of the favourable conditions. But on the way to Tarragona I realized that I couldn’t cope with the waves, which were almost a metre high. At first, I was still able to do it with half the wind, but shortly before Cab Salou the wind turned more northerly, and I was no longer able to reach it. So, without further ado, I headed for Cambrils. Also, a very nice place with a great harbour. I’m now waiting for better weather here, because I don’t need to go out in extreme continuous rain and the waves are still high, and with zero wind.

You can see that here on the beach.

And one day before the bad weather area with continuous rain arrived. That looks not so good.
