Our current position is off the cost of the Spanish mainland close to the town Cartagena. We run in to a big thunderstorm and it is raining cats and dogs. We tried to dodge the thunderstorm by changing our course, but unfortunately we have been not very successful.

During the last 24 hours, however we had perfect sailing conditions and made good way. Only the heavy rocking of our ship in the waves prevented us from sleeping during or off duty time.

After the bad weather are surly sunny days coming again.

Meanwhile we continue to sail further south towards our destination Gibraltar.
