Course – 54 Degrees Speed – 10.5 Knots Day’s Run – 207 Miles
Weather – Sunny and calm seas
Wind – 5 knots from 110 degrees
We left Gibraltar at 3pm after Paz returned with crutches and her foot in a cast. She is doing well but looking forward to getting home to Palma.
We have had good conditions since leaving other than 10 knots on the nose slowing us down. Everyone has enjoyed smooth nights sleep. This morning we rounded Cabo de Gata at sunrise with calm seas. This stretch of water can be very rough and windy, so we are all happy about the conditions. We have had visits from dolphins and seen pilot whales cruising by. The fishing lines have been out since dawn and we are hoping for some tuna.
With 240 miles to go we hope to be in Palma and tied up by lunch.
