After Morocco, Gibraltar had been our next destination. We got a berth at Queensway Quay Marina last minute for 1 1/2 weeks which were enough to walk around and 😁 to extend our battery capacity 😁, so two more Relion LiFePo4 batteries found their way into our boat 😁. Now, we don’t have to worry about cloudy days any more 😁. Regarding shopping, Gibraltar was a bit disappointing, so we had to change the country which is quite easy in Gibraltar: go to the airstrip, CROSS the airstrip if pedestrian lights are green, pass the border and be welcomed to Spain 😁.
On tuesday, October 8, we left Gibraltar after 1 1/2 sunny and warm weeks on a cold and cloudy day and MOCEAN were blown off the Strait of Gibraltar with 39 knots of wind ⛵️💨😳 from the back! We reached a max speed of more than 13 knots (!!! 8 knots is quite fast) with only using a reefed jib! 😲 After 6 days of nice sailing and (not so nice) motoring because of dying wind we arrived at Arrecife, Lanzarote, Canary Islands. We hope to have a good rest here before crossing the Atlantic Ocean 😬 - very exciting!
