News:
Timoneer departed Royal Clarence marina in Gosport England at 17:20 bound for Gibraltar. Our early evening departure was timed perfectly with a cold front that was passing over the area providing more favorable conditions. Early in the late afternoon the wind changed from a strong Westerly to a more favorable North North West direction. As the sun was setting we motored out of the Solent into the still lumpy left over swell which eventually moderated during the evening. This was replaced by the following sea we currently have and is allowing us to make good speed on our South Westerly course to Gibraltar. Time to get the fishing lines out and see if we can get any action.
