We are entering the Marina Bay Marina in Gibraltar. What is interesting is on the left hand side of the Marina is the runway for the airport. It is amazing watching the planes take off and land. Spain is still mad that the British have maintained this as their territory so they do not allow the planes to fly over Spanish waters. The planes have to make an immediate sharp bank (looks like a 90 degree) as to avoid flying over anything Spanish. It's really considered an illegal bank but they have allowed them to do it to abide by the Spanish request. Mark is ready to leave Spain so technically we are in British territory. When we stayed in Ibiza we paid 530 euros for the dockage for one night. In Gibraltar we are paying 30 euros for a night plus water and electricity. Mark is much happier here.
This is the AIS on the big screen in the boat. This shows all the ship traffic in and around Gibraltar. Absolutely amazing. Tomorrow we are going to tour the rock and sight see. More pictures tomorrow and will start to share the British sayings we have learned and some of the funny southern sayings we have taught our Captain and John. Adios, Theresa
