Europe Point

This morning we have, since our return around the World, rounded the first Cape of the European continent, called Europe Point. After this southerly point of Gibraltar we sailed towards a crowded quay. Well…crowded, we are just not used to crowds anymore…
We left the anchorages on portside and kept on sailing a bit longer.
            Awaiting Sunday morning we have anchored close to the Spanish coast. We will be picking up some fuel and a few passengers and continue our trip to Valencia. It is a perfect spot. Calm seas, no fuzz and a beautiful view at the Spanish mainland, the Gibraltar rock and the Moroccan mountains.
