Ibiza to Gibraltar

Current Position Underway along the Spanish Coast: North 37*09'546 West 001*18'267

We left Formentera Island yesterday and are now underway along the Spanish Coast heading for Gibraltar. There's been very little wind so we're motor sailing along on an oily calm sea and making good progress. With a lot of shipping in this area it's been great to have the AIS system transmitting our position and it makes night passages much more enjoyable! With 212 miles to go we should be arriving in Gibraltar on Tuesday if the weather continues to hold in.

We've finally gotten in to some good fishing ground and today we caught four Mahi Mahi within a couple of hours of putting the lines out. We released two back and the other two have given us plenty of fillets for the next couple of days meals and without a freezer we're limited to how much we can keep.
