Sailing to Marina Tomas Maestre: A drawbridge that won't open and a poor crab taken by the current.

In this episode we sail to Puerto Tomas Maestre, by the lake Mar Menor in Spain. To enter the marina we need to pass the drawbridge Puente Del Estacio, but sailing plans are as always written in sand and we have to turn around. In the canal at the bridge a poor crab is being caught in the strong current and getting the ride of a lifetime. Lots of fast motor boats and jetskis and we almost got lost in Marina Tomas Maestre, a large marina with 1700 boats.
