Gibraltar to Fuegirola

Filled the tanks at Gibraltar on the way out at 0800. Cheap tax free Diesel there.

Headed out into a 25k Westerly. It wasn’t too comfortable heading out with the westerly swell so I tried to stay in the lee of the anchored ships as much as possible before heading East. Once out of the straights we set our course downwind to Fuengirola. Sailed and surfed all the way mostly at 8-10 knots. Fun sail and arrived 8 hrs later and anchored in the bay just outside the marina. As we arrived the wind changed from a cool breeze to a warm 30 degree breeze. We chilled on board and watched the sunset before getting a good nigths sleep.

We plan on covering this coastline fairly quick so we can get to the Balearics for some R&R from sailing.
