We've done it. We're officially in the Mediterranean. The conditions couldn't have been better for the trip. We motored the first half on flat seas and on turning due East into the Straits we had the wind and current with us. We filled up with diesel at duty free Gibraltar prices and then went a couple of hundred yards across the border into Spain again. We've been learning from those that have done this trip before. Arrive in the evening and anchor outside the marina. In the morning go in and leave late the following day to anchor again. Voila nearly two whole days in the marina and three nights in the location while only needing to pay for one night on shore. Lets hope the anchor holds otherwise this wonderful wheeze won't seem so clever.
