We are presently all ready to shift the boat from it "parking lot" across to the departure lounge so that we are ready to leave in the morning. At present its a bit windy for us to pull out of our parking spot without bouncing off the adjacent boats - so - we are taking it easy and waiting for the wind to drop. These tight mooring are a bit of a hassle with just the two of us. It really needs three. But we are in no hurry and if we have to wait until the morning so be it. We will head over to Gibraltar tomorrow and are looking forward to have a look around. whether we can get a berth or have to anchor is as yet unsure. Gibraltar marina's are a building site at present as they are being converted into condos so space is very limited. Anchoring is also a bit tricky as the airport runway lies right alongside the anchorage or alternatively we have to anchor in Spanish water, Gibraltar being so small. All gets very complicated and political. Last evening we went out for a meal at a Moroccan restaurant and the food was great. Even better we found Moroccan tea which is mint flavoured and absolutely delicious. Anita is really chilled out and has started her first book. No doubt she will turn to the crossword book in due course.
