After a number (4.5) of weeks in Gibraltar it is finally time to set sail. We have spent the past few days squaring the boat away and get everything ready for Mawali's maiden voyage toward the Canary Islands.
We expect calm seas and light winds toward the Canary's and believe the trip will take 5 to 6 days depending on wind. In the Canary's we have a few repairs being done that we couldnt get done in Gib and from there we will be heading straight across to the Carribean.
Gibraltar has been a fantastic place for port over the past months and has provided a number of interesting expieriences, some qoutes from our time in Gib:
"Cigarettes are so cheap here, you cant afford not to smoke",
"The flies here are slow",
"Iv'e never been to Galapogos! Really I havn't! Ever!",
"Why does everyone get up so late here............ Because they're all alcoholics......"
"Holy S#^T, It's George Clooney!"
To all our loved ones we will be out of interent connection range until the Carribean unless we get lucky in Canarys.
Good Travels,
Over and Out,
The Mawali Crew
