Had a short stay in Gibraltar - shared with 5
cruise liners so very personal! Actually is was a really great stop for Sally to
catch up with an old college friend, Sally Robinson, who is a Gibraltarian and
who I had heard much about but never met. In addition Sarah and James were back
in Gib (having got there to join us on board but no us!) so we were really
pleased to see them as well and hear about there alternative
adventures.
Adam and Josh left us in Gib to fly home - looking
forward to sleeping thru an entire night without watches no doubt. Great company
guys and hope you enjoyed the experience and leaned lots!
As a family crew we checked the weather en route
and have decided to sail non stop from Gib to Mallorca - about 3 days. I say
sail but so far we have spent the day impersonating a motor boat as there is no
wind. Hot and sunny though! Should be in Mallorca by monday night - at the
moment, in true Little Britain style, the "computer says" 1203 in Port Andrax on
the 3rd. Presently 30 miles south of Malaga.
Boat is doing well, despite a minor electrical
issue, with over 140 litres of fresh water made and the food doing well after
our deliberations on stocking up.
