Med entrance THE ROCK


Early start out of Rota for the 70nm leg to Gib,
wind all over the show, so kept us busy changing the sails around,
by late pm no wind and engine on for the final entrance through the Straits,
an interesting stretch of water,
'tide hunting' kept a steady 3-4kts of flow behind us and
Gib was upon us by 21.00, after a little english jobsworth
from the dock inspector a berth was finally sorted
and time to explore the very swish
'Ocean Village' complex which surrounds the superyacht drenched port.
The following day Malcolms friend Linda from Malta met us with her daughter Jo,
who is based in Gib with the Royal Navy,
very handy as she gave us the full tourist tour of the
'Rock' including the Monkeys, Caves with their amazing accoustics and the Resistance tunnels.Thanks Jo!
