36.08.5N 007.22.4N 70Nm to Gibraltar straights
 
                | Very good progress the past day 😊 Managed to sail till about 0700 this morning which was nice as the sea was flat and we had steady 12-16kn wind yesterday afternoon & last night.  Been motoring this morning as conditions flattened out and currently motor sailing with a nice 6-8kn breeze.  A few scattered clouds in the sky today and the sea is calm, conditions are forecast to be favourable going through Gibraltar which is good news.   Whales, turtles where spotted.  A few squid were even found on deck this morning!  We are currently about 70 Nm from the start of the Gibraltar straights – Progress has been good – Traffic all around as we approach the straights and lots of VHF chatter,  the different accents give us a chuckle now and then.  Not too far away from cell phone reception, everyone is well and looking forward to the Mediterranean Sea again.  Hope everyone has a good week. Regards |
