Dredging the entrance to the marina?
It sounds like there is work going on dredging the entrance to the marina.
A lady called Jayne who is staying in the port area at the moment has been in touch. She saw some lorries removing sand and gravel from the beach near to the entrance of the marina.
I am guessing the sand has come from the clearing of the entrance to the marina.So boats do not get caught up on it.
Watch out for more dust from the Sahara tomorrow (Friday 20 May 2022)
Looks like a chunk of Spain might get another bout of calima tomorrow. The article here on Euro Weekly News site has details.
Looking at the map I am not sure whether our part of Spain will get some or not.
It might be a bad weather day tomorrow even if the dust does not come. As the 3 weather forecasts I use are all pointing to very strong winds tomorrow. It might be no golf for me for one or two reasons.
Just a little reminder that coronavirus is still with us
The article here on the Sur In English site serves as a timely reminder about coronavirus. Particularly for the over 60s - "Andalucía’s Covid incidence rate in the over-60s rises to 606 as 49 more deaths are added".
It is still with us and it is still dangerous. So please be careful.

UD Almería will be promoted if they win next Saturday
UPDATED - added a link to an article about previous promotions to the first division
Last night both Valladolid and Eibar won. That means that Almería are still top of the table. Now 2 points ahead of Eibar and 4 points ahead of Valladolid.
Our next match is at home to Alcorcon at 21:00 on Saturday 21 May. They are bottom of the table and have already been relegated. Fingers crossed for a good result next Saturday. I think it will be a sell out. With the tickets probably going on sale tomorrow morning.
Updated - While doing a search of articles to publish I found the one here on the Diario de Almería site. We have only ever been promoted to the first division when playing at home. Hopefully that is a good amen for next Saturday.
The Spanish article also has some more photos in it.
