36:08.14N 05:21.32W Friday - a very benign, almost windless, journey brings us to Gibraltar, the photo shows our approach to the Rock on a very hazy morning.  Highlights of this last leg include a magnificent sunset on Thursday night, iridescent green bow waves in the moonlight and dolphins swimming alongside during the night.  Our berth for the next few days is ready for us and we’ve finally arrived – it’s taken 34 days and 1,589 nautical miles to get from Greece to Gibraltar.  The big downside is that we still have the ‘clunk click’ – Gordon is convinced it’s backlash on the steering gear so we now need to solve that before we think of travelling further.
