stay in southern Spain VI (with Elchi)

windsurfing on Mar Menor (E) (Saturday, 27/11/2010)
Weather: overcast and rain / temp: 14 degrees / Wind: 3 to 4 HE

With 14 degrees maximum temperature and continuous rain from noon on this day so far the coolest and wettest of our stay in southern Spain. It can only get better. Nevertheless, there are a few lunatics who use the moderate wind for windsurfing and kiteboarding. We hold back and devote ourselves instead to the budget. In addition to this the number of photos from our cruise are sorted and processed in order to later present a slide show.

windsurfing on Mar Menor (E) (Wednesday, 01/12/2010)
Weather: cloudy to beautiful / Temp: 16 degrees / Wind: 3 to 5 HE

Within the last week we had to endure incredible three rainy days. This is the monthly quota of rain days for the area being exploited today :-) now seems at last to blows and the sun has yet to surf a decent wind from the southwest.



In the "Pirate Bay" again dominating proceedings, albeit with relatively large sailing. The wind is too unstable for him to enjoy small surf equipment.



Still, it was for many, once again a beautiful day with pleasant temperatures.


Photo of the Day: Christmas atmosphere also with us :-)


Camping at Mar Menor (E) (Thursday, 2/12/2010)
Weather: nice / Temp: 16 degrees / Wind: 2 to 4 HE

The cold air from central and northern Europe now seems to be the way to southern Spain to have found. With only 9 degrees plus we measure this morning a new low temperature. And it is in the next few days, a few degrees to get colder. The southern English sun heats the air in the day but again to a comfortable temperature. So we reach today, the 16 degree line (at the sun or warmer), so that we can take our lunch, even in T-shirts.

windsurfing on Mar Menor (E) (Friday, 12/03/2010)
Weather: nice / Temp: 13 degrees / wind 5 to 6 HE

A starry night and bring us to a North West flow, the lowest temperatures so far this winter. We measure only 5 degrees above zero. Near the ground it should be even less. The heaters run this morning to race and it's the first frost on car windows and of the cover of our scooter.


pull even at sunrise temporarily clouds and create a charming Christmas spirit :-)

for our morning Nordic Walking round, we must first dig out our winter gloves and hats from the box.

From ten clock is high winds predicted and actually starts on time, a strong wind from the northwest over the "Mar Menor" to blow. We take first a visual inspection, to start immediately with the right material.

John and a English wind surfers are taking on the role of "guinea pig" (trial pig).



We already have a measure wind force 5-6 letter with the 5.0 m2 sail I'm with you. Anita finds it too cold. The air and the "Mar Menor" are now only 13 degrees hot and cold (pure coincidence :-) will be warm while the Mediterranean after all, still 18 degrees. Such a great constant wind, I can not remain idle over, withdraw, that is purely in the warm neoprene, and keeps up on the board what it takes jibe.




When the cold water of the water works start very quickly :-)

The waves in this wind direction is very uniform and up to one meter high. The descending the shaft makes a lot of fun and successful jumps and jibes easily.



leaves after three clock the wind gradually subsided. Who is late is left with the way: There are always those who come to the notoriously late. It was another great day on the water :-)
