 Mulchy up the mast (it high and wobbly when you are
going along!) yesterday afternoon - his photos looking down in us will
come later
 Evening drinks
 Relaxing - it was a great afternoon
 Sunset off Cadiz at 930pm
The afternoon cheered up to be lovely - we aired
the bedding and did some sunbathing while sailing along gently in the afternoon
breeze(this is what we came for). Fantastic early evening - beer and wine and
singing to Beatles in the cockpit. Then we retired downstairs and watched
the Bourne Supremecy in the eXhilarance cinema to pasta carbonara and brocilli
cooked for us by Vics and washed down with a fine Barolo.
Great night - so different to previous - light
sailing winds, clear skies and calm seas. Everyone much happier. Vics saw a
Whale surface and blow behind the boat.
We have just moored up in Barbate (a fishing
villiage on the south West corner of Spain) about 30 miles from
Gibralta - we are staying here for 3 hours and then going for our run on the
Straights of Gibralta. Looks like it is going to be a hot one.
