Not the best start to a day's sailing... A facebook video shows a car rolling over the edge of a Spanish quayside and a distressed driver in hot pursuit. The accompanying caption: 'If you park in a port: use your hand brake', says it all. Just as well there was no boat (or persons) berthed below.

Coche al agua!

Si aparcas en un puerto: freno de mano y una marcha siempre puesta. Peligro, coche al agua! Port Ginesta. Castelldefels - Sitges

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.
