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 |
