In Spain





Spain welcomed us with open arms yesterday. We had dolphins chasing the boat many times during the day. Our first night we stopped in Chipiona. It was a nice marina but very full so we had to stay at the reception dock all night long...a bit noisy. The first lighthouse is from the tip of Chipiona.

Today we sailed on to Barbate. The winds were low so we pulled out "The Big One". Yep, the chute came out. It is so beautiful blowing in the wind. Then we rounded Cabo Trafalgar. The final photo is of the lighthouse at Cape Trafalgar. We got a slip tonight here in Barbate but there are few facilities near the marina so we are eating dinner aboard and watching "Deadliest Catch".

Tomorrow we are going to through the Strait of Gibraltar...yee haw.

I saw your boat at the dock in Chipiona, she is very beautiful. It's a shame I hadn't seen the blog before so I can contact with you. I hope you will be back some day to Chipiona. Good winds.
