We are now about 100 miles from a waypoint that we placed in the middle of the Straits of Gibraltar. We should get our first glimpse of land today. We plan to try to enter the straits at sunrise tomorrow so we have daylight to navigate the ship traffic and can make it around the bend to the Gibraltar marina before sunset tomorrow. We are still motoring, the winds are not favoring our desired direction of trave, to say the least. The seas are not calm and we have some fair size rollers coming at us from the east. There have been some 25+ knot winds blowing East through the Straits for days causig these big waves. The combination of motoring and the big waves is not particularly plesant but it's no big deal compared to some of the other conditions we have faced. The latest weather we have received tells us the East winds will calm down for our passage through the straits. Yesterday was a Joy-full day. We stopped for a swim and a bath! It was sure nice to dive in and swim around and get cleaned up and lemony fresh. I checked the chart depth where we were swimming and it was about 13,000 feet. I didn't worry much about bumping my head when I dove in.
