Goodbye Europe

We're struggling up the Gibraltar Straits, by sticking to a bit of favourable current we're managing 2.8kn into a fair headwind... Hopefully only a few more hours of this and the Mediterranean will release us. Oops, spoke too soon, down to 1.5! Better go back up and find our stream again.. Morocco looks awesome!!

Well it's after 10pm, seem to have escaped. Doing 5 or 6 kn in the right direction. It's rather wild out here, not the sea but the people. Ships all around zooming off to other ports with their important cargo, high speed ferries dashing from Europe to Africa. Channel 16 is a bunfight. There's a dozen French yachts who need to talk to each other almost constantly, but the big noise are fishermen shouting at boats who are heading towards their nets. They must have their nets right where we all want to go as it doesn't stop. And they are not polite.....
