The Mar Menor, a saltwater lake in SE Spain, is a great playground for sailors. Sailing Association Mar Menor helps solve problems in getting afloat and sailing boats here. Meetings held monthly in Los Alcazares, Murcia provide opportunities for owners to find crew for a dinghy, day sailor or larger sailboat and viceversa. There are also boat share groups of up to 10 people who share the expense of keeping and maintaining a boat here as well as learning from more experienced group members. Another interest is in the charter of larger craft. Individual and family membership is available.

TIP OF THE MONTH - As you prepare to antifoul the bottom of your boat for the new season, take care not to paint over hull anodes, as the painted area will be ineffective, and the unpainted area will preferentially decay.
