Tarragona to Gibralter


Sunshine and a northerly breeze here in Gibralter, which means it't time to leave on Cypraea to head for Las Palmas, Gran Canaria.

Our water tanks are full and the lads helped witha mammoth shop of fresh fruit, veg and meast to keep us going for the journey. It was a truly strange experience to be shopping in Morrisons in Gibralter - Bisto, sausages, cranberry sauce, rashers and so so many familiar items on the shelves. I tried to buy local fish but all they had was UK import, very strange!!

Crew are all fit, well and keen to carry on the journey. The boys are working hard on there school work and on imporving there Nintendo skills (the latter being much more important apparently!!) - a bit of bribary always works to bring them back to the school work though.

In the mean time Simon is back at base training this years trainees in t heir Yachtmaster Theory and all is going smoothly, while Igor keeps them all well fed. Well done guys.
