In order to get into the Mar Menor from the Mediterranean you first have to negotiate your way into a small, shallow harbour basin, 3m deep at most with truly grounding shallows all round - eeeeek. We waited for twenty minutes in this basin steering into the wind broadside to maintain our position in 3m - there was nowhere else to go. The lifting bridge opens every two hours on the dot. The traffic came to a standstill on the road above us, dead on 4pm we edged forward into a small channel to pass through (could have held hands with anyone on the bank). Lerryn Lady was the only vessel to pass at 4pm :O) A few folk got out of their cars and bus to watch...
