Farewell Gibraltar! Monkey Play!

View of THE ROCK as we pulled away tonight at sunset off AFT patio seating at dinner. Wine glasses shook alitlle as we thrust off the dock, but what a beautiful way to be living! Have to keep pinching myself!


Today, I stayed on board the ship all day and just recharged. I have had a head cold for last 2 days and needed solid sleep and hydration. I sweated a good 2 hours playing pickleball in the afternoon and gave over my cabin to maintenance to replace some parts in my toilet vacuum system. A Win Win for All! We have been moving at an aggressive pace ever since leaving Belfast - so I was glad I had been here in Gibraltar before, and didn't feel the need to explore anymore. Lots of residents went to the top of THE ROCK to see and play with the monkeys! I preferred to do a quick face time with these 2 Monkey's!

Any day sailing is a good day, even when the weather doesn't cooperate! Today, a small group of us got a private catamaran experience. We caught wind for part of the trip but also had two small rain squalls too. We still had a lovely adventure, good food and conversation and a nice hour snorkeling at a sand cay off of Sail Rock (shown below) , a landmark and the opening scene for SURVIVOR Australia Seasons 2 thru 5, over the last few years.

Fun morning sailing with this group! Seated in the back bay is John & Lori, Diane, Holly & Gary, with myself, Bosco, Sherrie, Scott, Cathy & Joanne in the front. Note the Odyssey in the background. This Catamaran was called Coral Cats and Holly made arrangements, the crew was super!
