Having spent 4 days in Cadiz waiting for the
Levanter to abate, we moved to Barbate on 31st August and then on past Tarifa
today to Gibraltar. Once the mist had lifted we had spectaculat scenery and our
berth in Marina Bay marina has a stunning backdrop of the Rock, even if there
are a few noises from aircraft from the adjacent runway!

 Just as the sun was rising
 Of course we went up the cable car and looked at
the route onwards
 As well as looking back over the old town and on
our marina
 The Barbary apes were there - this one even
greeting us off the cable car.
Having returned to the boat for lunch and fitting
the newly-purchased replacement foot switch for the winlass, we then climbed the
rock by foot. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived there, the World War II
tunnels were closed, so we will try again tomorrow.
