At sea off the eastern coast of Spain - October 11

Today we sailed through the Mediterranean on our way to the Strait of Gibraltar and our transit into the Atlantic. It was cloudy all day with whitecaps. Because we were running with the seas we didn’t experience any rocking and rolling to speak of. Despite the clouds it was warm outside so a lot of people used the pools. We slept late and continued our Scrabble tournament. We need Katie’s list of two letter words to help us out with our playing.

This evening we ate dinner at the restaurant on the Sun Deck again so we could look out the windows as we passed throught the Strait of Gibraltar. It was around 9 PM and we could see the lights of Africa off our port and the lights of Gibraltar and Spain to our starboard. They weren’t as close as the other night in the Strait of Messina but a good show nevertheless.

Tomorrow we’ll make our final stop in Spain at Cadiz.

Hasta Manana and Buenas Noches everyone!
