A small windfarm on the Spanish side of the Straits
The North African side of the Straits aka the Pillars of Hercules
The Rock of Gibraltar
GibraltarThis morning we awoke to a brilliant blue sky and absolutely calm seas. At times the sea was almost like a mirror. We spent the day lazing around, playing trivia (we lost), continuing our one –on- one scrabble tournament, and generally relaxing. Late this afternoon our Captain must have cashed in some favors because we did a sail by Gibraltar that was incredible! We passed very close in and could see “the Rock” up close and personal. As we passed by we had a flyover by two jets (we were told they were Spanish Air Force) at basically treetop level. It happened so fast that there was no opportunity for a picture. The European coast is pretty well-populated and there are several small wind farms visible. The North African coast appeared to be have less people. Now we’re in the Atlantic and on our way to Lisbon tomorrow.
