We have 78 nautical miles to go to Gibraltar and still not enough wind to sail. This morning we were able to fly the headsail for a few hours but eventually it started to flog and had to pulled in. So now we're back to just motoring, the good thing is the auto pilot works perfectly in these conditions so we rarely have to touch the helm. The Shipping lanes are just south of us and now and again a cargo ship or ferry will brake off and pass in front of us heading to a Spanish port, other than that; a few fishing boats and lots of dolphins are the only signs of life we've seen.
Our arrival time in Gibraltar should be about midday tomorrow and our first stop will be the fuel dock to fill up on duty free Petrol and Diesel. We're looking forward to spending a few days in the luxury of a marina to mark the end of our time in the Med (and on British soil no less) and to supermarkets filled with English goodies!
