Gibraltar "Cradle of HIstory"

We are arriving at the Rock of Gibraltar.  What a fabulous sight.  When approaching the Straights of Gibraltar from the sea, you can see the famous rock overlooking the sea in defiance above the rest of the peninsua.  Legend has it that the body of Lord Admiral Nelson was landed  in Gibraltar preserved in a barrel of rum, following his victory at Trafalgar.  Gibraltar is still under British influence since that day.

It's great you guys have finally set sail. It looks like you're able to ease into sailing the vessel and getting your sea legs. What's your plan leaving Gibralter (Azores or Caribean) ?
