At sun set we arrive at our destination and recognize the famous rock of Gibraltar first.

After 22 sailing days and more then 1700 nautical miles we have reached our first destination Gibraltar. We have anchored one night in Greece (Island Pholegandros), Italian islands Sicilian and Sardinia; Spanish island Ibiza and stayed 11 days in Malta. Unfortunately we had no time for sightseeing at those places, as we have to reach the Canaries Islands by beginning of November.

On our first trip from Kusadasi to Gibraltar we had mainly very good weather and wind conditions, no storm, not really cold nights and only a little rain and some thunder storms. This gives us the opportunity to get used to our boot and its equipment. We know, what we have to change and will have the chance to do so during our stay in Gibraltar. Middle of October we will continue with our trip to the Canaries Islands.
