Wandering Dream

No wind today, it didn’t even arrive late afternoon which seems to be a pattern. Took a course to avoid chart marked tunny nets, but they had been lifted. The pilot book was very unflattering about Barbate, ie. nothing worth seeing, so we anchored off the beach. Read through the detailed instructions to void problems going through the Straits of Gibraltar and made a plan for tomorrow’s departure.

(Pronounced Barbartay)
