Sunday at good wind is called for. We set sail with target Gibraltar. With easterly winds of 4-5 Bf, we make a swift passage, even though the power is temporarily with 1.2 knots against us.
We anchor in the cove Spanish La Linea, this is right 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. It requires cars and pedestrians crossing the first plane slopes.
Livia and Mathias go along on a shopping trip, Hans Peter and Lilian try for one day a Marina Square to get, as our appointed windvane the Hydrovane has already arrived in Gibraltar. In order to take this on board we have in the duty-free einklariert Gibraltar have in a marina. We have grasped the opportunity to make a Hydrovane here to order out. In short, we decided to buy from Sheppard, and at a great price, even a wind generator to the Air Breeze. If everything is installed, we are equipped for long cruises super!
We enjoy the last day together with Livia and Mathias. A great time we have spent four of our Whisper. Due to engine failure, unfortunately, we were able to sail a little bit and hang remained in Ceuta. But the trips to Morocco have killed us all and Ceuta itself is worth a visit.
On Tuesday morning early ride both the bus to Malaga, to fly from there to home. The leave us this time is not as hard as we may be killed shortly after Christmas to fly home.
For anchorage of La Linea is to say, that are already here for many years the stolen dinghies (dinghy). We were warned by various sides not to let the dinghy on the beach. The Yacht Club can fix this for 5 € per day. But our friends from the SY Mariposa following happened. At night, at 1.30 clock is a man with flippers and wet suit 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 dinghy he could return the tender of the Mariposa again. He was, however, by standing on the shore people pelted with stones. Yes, this is one to think so!
