Er, no we're not as nearly there as we hoped
DecaDance's Web Diary
Chris White and Jeanna Coleman

Relentless head-on wind seems to have taken its toll on DecaDance and
its crew and despite the boys' best efforts they had to give up half
way due to engine trouble.
Tomorrow requires an engine oil change, and with the Easterly they've
been battling all day due to strengthen tomorrow, there's no way
they'll make it into the harbour at Gibraltar before the barrier goes
down at 9pm. It looks like a Wednesday departure.
If he hadn't already had enough to put up with, Rob has the unenviable
task of sorting out Chris's thumb nail, which is ready to drop off.
At least they've had a couple of well-deserved beers and will get some
much needed sleep before what they (and I) really hope will be the
final leg of the journey.
That's sailing for ya! Lots of hugs to both of them x
