We made some good speed through the night and now can see Africa to the right and Europe to the left. There has been a lot of traffic all night and now we have all the traffic from Northern Europe merging with all the Atlantic traffic.
There are dolphins jumping in every direction we look and plenty come over to play under our bow. We are about 5 hours from Gibraltar harbour where we plan to fill up with fuel and continue on later tonight to Palma which is a further 450 miles.
We put the clocks forward another hour last night. On our arrival in Gibraltar we will go forward another 2 hours to CEST.
