Saturday / Sunday - 25 & 26 August 2018

Two quiet days while we wait for the weather to round Cape Trafalgar, then Tarifa, both notorious headlands, on the way to Gibraltar..

It’s not a pretty view from the marina, but we are loving Cadiz. The narrow streets hold delights in every turn; interesting shops, cafes or street stalls. Chores done, we found the city is just waking up at 7pm. We see the sense in having siesta time when it’s hot in the afternoon, but it’s difficult for us to adapt to it when we know we’ll need a whole day up at sea. Consequently we struggle to keep going long into the night, as the locals do.

We’re expecting high winds to come in overnight and tomorrow so we took down the large awning, which gives us sunshade. In honour of Barry Chuckle, we have done the folding in the manner of: "to me, to you, to me, to you."
