Gibraltar

A beautiful sunrise over the Rock of Gibraltar, our final beacon departing Europe  The rock is famous for many reasons but it is most recognized as a heavily fortified British air and naval base that guards the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the only entrance to the Mediterranean Sea from the Atlantic Ocean. The rock is also home to a protected reserve of Barbary Apes (the only wild monkeys in Europe) who have earned themselves the traditional belief from centuries of sieges that “so long as the monkeys live on the Rock, so too will the British have control”...

In front of us is over 3200 nautical miles of open ocean to our Caribbean destination, and Rosehearty is ready to cruise the Atlantic to warmer waters  see you on the other side 

We need to cross slowly as even being tested, negatively on departure we need to take 14 days to cross. We usually cross in about 11days. Maybe slow enough to fish!
