I can now say that we sailed through the straits of Gibraltar! One of the gateways of the world. However, mind you, not when we were planning to and with all the delays, but no more excuses, it’s done! Finally. We started off in June planning to make it through in early July – like the 8th! Now, six months later, and I can’t believe it is December (!), we have accomplished this goal.
Proof baby!It was a beautiful day, and calm waters. We left early in the morning, with all the fishing boats, and as Brian put it – “you know you are leaving at the right time when all the fisherman are leaving too”. I only had to play dodge boat (yes, 8 tankers/ferries at once) for about 45 minutes. The only really eventful thing to the whole journey was the bottle of Champagne (OK, it was sparking wine from Spain) Brian popped upon us docking and setting foot on North Africa! Six continents down for Bri, one to go, and 4 down for me! However, I don’t plan on going to Antarctica so only 2 more to go for me – Australia and South America.
Early morning coneheads! Yeah, it was alittle chilly!
We knew it was going to be a good day, when Carl caught the first fish of the trip!
Dinner... yummm (kitty likes the fishy:)
