The final sea day before Gibraltar

The weather has finally broken and the awful weather experienced in the UK at the moment has not reached as far south as us.

Last night was rough, however, and something rattled and banged with every swell. I'm not sure where it was, but it certainly woke me numerous times.

The sunshine and barmy temperatures today made up for it. It was wonderful to sit on the balcony with Shirley and enjoy half an hour of unbroken sun. It was hot too. I can't remember when I'd enjoyed that in my own garden.

Provisional times have been posted for the trips tomorrow. Shirley is on the included trip, departure 4, so she's going to walk with me as far as the duty free area on the port, then I'm off for a meander. I know Gibraltar pretty well so will explore parts I've not seen before.

I know there has been a lot of reclamation going on so I'm intrigued to see what is there.

Anyway, that's tomorrow. Today past slowly but pleasantly. Shirley is getting bored. She doesn't do sea days too well. She's just discovered after Gibraltar there's two more sea days to get to Malta. I'm not sure if she'll remain sane.
