Noon Position 36deg 08N 05deg 22W
Course – Degrees Speed – Knots Day’s Run – 188 Miles
Weather – A big cloud over the Rock of Gibraltar, otherwise sunny
Wind – 15.8 from ENE
Yesterday afternoon could not have been more different than the night before. We had flat seas and little wind with sunny skies. We slowed down to arrive in time for our berth, but still no fish to be had. We had calm conditions through the night and everyone enjoyed a good sleep.
Gibraltar may be British but its closeness to Spain has certainly affected the peoples sense of timing. We book a fuel berth for 8am. The night before we arrive we get told to come at 9am. One hour before arrival we get told 10am and finally we go on the dock at 11:15am. We are taking on fuel as I write this and we should be underway soon after lunch.
English fish and chips for lunch from the local chippy. Maybe by dinner time we will have caught some fresh fish!
