Maiden voyage of Saga IV

In the Med

After an eventful afternoon yesterday we are in the Mediterranean.

The approaches were extremely lumpy. The seas coming at us from all angles. It felt like we were driving down a bad dirt road in old ford pick up truck. We kept looking up as we headed south east towards the straights and there were the Atlas mountains of Morocco on starboard and the Spanish coast to port . It was really hazy and suddenly we were at Trafalgar and then into the straights.

It was dark by the time we got to Gib but the rock was impressive from the sea.

Right now the sea is dead calm. We are motor sailing at 8.5 knots heading east up the Spanish coast.
