Nursed a hangover, went for a swim, got a bit sunburned today - life is hard.
Stuck in Mellila, which is a Spanish port on the coast of morroco - I never heard of it and neither has any other Brit - there are no
English here at all (cannot find Lineker´s Bar anywhere) so a bit of hablar espanol is required. I think the Spanish are keeping this one quiet, something to do with Gibraltar perhaps?
Why stuck? The wind is going in the wrong direction and will not turn until Tuesday. The boat next to ours left this morning after
their skipper misread the weather report. The skipper on my boat neglected to inform him of the schoolboy error because he is pissed of at his mooring neighbour for some shit stirring to do with his missus. Eastenders with boats and less shouting.
Going to do all the history bit tomorrow - the Spanish captured this port and then fired a cannon as far as they could inland in every
direction. That became the border between Melilla and Morocco.

what is it like there
What is Mellila really like? Would you live there? Would you consider living there for a year or two? Why?
