On Sunday, good wind is announced. We set sail with target Gibraltar. With easterly winds of 4-5 Bf, we make a speedy crossing, even though electricity is temporarily at 1.2 knots against us.

We anchor in the bay of La Linea Spain, which lies directly next to Gibraltar. Marinas in Gibraltar are all up to 25.10. fined for the Blue Water Regatta.

From La Linea, we can walk across the border. After that cars and pedestrians must first cross the plane slopes.
      
Livia Mathias and go on a shopping trip together, Hans Peter and Lilian try for one day a Marina Square to get, because our ordered the Hydrovane windvane has already arrived in Gibraltar. To this we must take on board duty free einklariert Gibraltar have in a marina. We have packed the opportunity to make a Hydrovane here to order out. Suddenly we buy at Sheppard, at a great price, even a wind generator, the Air Breeze. When everything is assembled, we are equipped for long cruises great!

We enjoy the last day together with Livia and Mathias. A great time we have spent four of our Whisper. Due to engine failure we could not sail a little bit and remained hanging in Ceuta. But the trips to Morocco and Ceuta have liked us all even, is well worth visiting.

On Tuesday morning, the two ride the bus to Malaga, to fly from there to home. Saying goodbye this time we are struck not so hard, because we are so soon after Christmas to fly home.

To the anchorage of La Linea is to say, that are already here for many years the stolen dinghies (dinghy). We were warned by different sides not to let the dinghy on the beach. The yacht club can fix this for 5 € per day. But our friends at the Mariposa SY following happened. Night at 1:30 clock is a man with fins and wetsuit swim to the ship and has the Dingischote cut with a knife. Thanks to the helpfulness of another sailor, who followed the float with his toolbox, he could bring back the dinghy back to the Mariposa. He was standing on the shore, but by people throwing stones. Yes, this is one to think so!
