Gibraltar is a small rocky peninsula, attached to the mainland by road. Here is the boarder, where literally thousands of workers cross morning and night to work on 'the rock'. It is an expensive place to live and so the majority of the workforce live in La Linea, over the border in Spain.

This is the main road from Spain to Gib, which goes straight across the airport runway!!

When the lights change to red, the traffic stops and planes have right of way. I think it is rated the 5th most remarkable airport in the world.

Whilst in Gib, we have also worked on a fuel problem we had with contaminated diesel. The tanks were drained to get rid of a diesel bug that was growing in the tanks, a slimy brown residue was apparent in the fuel filters.

This also meant that both injector pumps and injectors had to be serviced, with was an expensive, but necessary job. Better done when safely tied to the quay though.

Here is Daryl fitting a new hatch. It was a nightmare to remove, sikaflex sealant is a lot stronger than the fibreglass! We have now fitted a stronger hatch and hope that will keep the saltwater out this next passage!!

Tomorrow morning we shall leave Gibraltar and head south to the Canary Islands. It should start to get warmer too.
