You wait ages for a delivery. Then two come along at once. ?

Well that was a right old bumpy night bashing round past Cartagena. Expected though so a case of setting a course for comfort rather than vmg.
Shipping lanes steady rather than busy but the usual fishing fleet didnt go out on a Sunday.
More motoring to come looking at forecast. We are gonna pit stop in Garrucha at around lunchtime to top off tanks and get a more accurate
Consumption rate.

Nice to be making good progress after weather delay.

Do send a vid if you get a chance

Having spent so long in this confounded lockdown I can just about remember that the sea is blue and the pointy end goes first - I think!

Tides,eh?

Good pit stop Garrucha. 45 minutes from sail down to sail up plus 177 litres of diesel. Top team.

That was at high tide, they have been dredging for 2 weeks, port captain said the channel was clear if they move the dredger.

That boat should be stripped & on a truck for Sweden on Thursday.

That's the dredger, such as it is.!

 

[capnsensible]

That's a bit kinda...amateur. all those marinas down to gib seem to need regular dredging...but no one wants to pay.
Same over at the Moroccan marinas too.

Definitely no moaning! I can travel within the rules and I'm cruising on a luxury catamaran.

Oh and I'm getting paid.

This is a rare time where we are going too fast! No wind, donks at 1800 revs.zero wind. So we are gonna anchor for a bit around Marbella and ai yo be on fuel dock Gib at breakfast. Think I will only stay the one night in La Linea and get gone thursday. Crew in groove and dont want to linger
And first time last night round cabo de gato without a hoolie blowing!

 

[capnsensible]

You should have a nice run according to the weather reports.

Some potential holes out there to route around and all should be good.

Safe trip

Thanks! Yeah will enjoy doing some proper planning rather than the usual turn left at Cabo Spartel.

Been a long motor so far so even slow sailing will be welcome. That's not a moan!
