Gibraltar to Antigua Day 1

December 6, 2013 | Author admin

Noon Position 33deg 57N 008deg 48 W

Course – 220 Degrees Speed – 11 Knots Day’s Run – 218 Miles

Weather – Sunny and comfortable following seas

Wind – 9 knots from 098 degrees

We finally got away from Gibraltar around 3.30pm local time. The Caterpillar service man arrived after a 2 hour delay crossing the border from Spain. He determined that the speed sensor for the engine had been damaged while the gearbox was off in the yard. Jonny found a suitable replacement in our spares and all has been good since.

We entered the Strait of Gib with 25 knots behind us and made good speed in remarkable smooth conditions considering we had winds up to 35 knots against the incoming tide. At the end of the traffic separation scheme we headed SW in to the sunset and rounded the corner of Africa just after dark. All night we had following winds and seas and we have been making good speed.

I put the fishing lines out at first light this morning but the fish are obeying Penny’s request for no more fish until we have eaten some of the food in the fridges to make space. Sushi for lunch today to finish off yesterday’s tuna.
