Today’s News
We have had a great run in the last 24 hours knocking off quite a few miles. It has been a very rolly 24 hours with the large swells on the beam and we are still rolling with the light winds. We are all very tired from the continual motion, even sleeping is a physical struggle.
We have had some hitch hikers onboard since yesterday afternoon, 2 small swallows. They didn’t seem to be able to see Morocco 12 miles down wind yesterday. Maybe they will make a dash for the coast as we pass within 2 miles of it going through the Strait of Gibraltar this afternoon. Now with less than 20 miles to the straits traffic is getting busier and there are also a lot of fishing boats around. We have been going too fast to put our lines out.
