After spending a week in Gibraltar preparing Blue Moon for our Atlantic crossing we're back underway. We have just passed through the straights of Gibraltar and into the North Atlantic Ocean. Thick fog engulfed us a we left the port this morning and we've been motoring through it most of the day. Crossing the shipping channel was pretty hair raising as we could only see a boat length in any direction...thank god for the AIS!
We are now motoring down the coast of Morocco and unfortunately the fog is back upon us and it's now dark outside. Instead of ships we have to worry about running into fishing nets and boats that don't show up so well on radar. So it's back outside for me as four eyes are better than two and I'll post more tomorrow when we arrive in Rabat.
