The Straits

 

Plenty of traffic and three freighters appeared on the AIS like three parallel daggers coming in from the Atlantic, all going at 20kn+ and we had to weave between them.  Very exciting.

The wind picked up and we had a fabulous sail along the North African coast, and out into the Atlantic. Pacific Bliss under an American flag until she is registered as a UK vessel in the Canaries.
