Average = 6.0 kts
Engine hours= 6 h

We left Barbate at 7 am and after going away from the coast to avoid tuna-nets
we start to motor sail towards Gibraltar.
At Tarifa the wind was about 20 kts but no more.
Pretty amazing to sail between the two Pillars of Hercules. First we saw the Africa one just as we approached Tarifa, then as we turned  north we saw in the distance the Gibraltar Rock.

Emacs!
