Alba date Friday 20th April. 5 miles off Almeria heading south towards Africa on our two hour tack before turning west on a five hour tack towards Gibraltar. Expect about 30 hours and arrive in Vilamoura Sunday evening. We're a bit tired after a few hard days but both of us are looking forward to a hot shower and beer in portugal. Pity the wind won't play right direction. Last night a massive gin palace went past and a cargo ship seemed to be a ghost ship passing about fifty meters astern. Never mind Captain Jimbo and Bosun Alex are half way to Portugal and we will have a beer to celebrate.
