Here we are in Rota, Bay of Cadiz

We are now in Rota on the north of the Bay of Cadiz. The marina is much nicer than the one in Cadiz which is highly industrialized. There apears to be a problem spotting us on Marine Traffic . This may be in part due to the fact that we are bang next door to the Mediterranean base of the American Naval Fleet - security et al. So don't despair, perhaps once we head off to Barbate ( in a few days) we'll be back on the map! Yesterday was a peaceful sail from Chipiona to Rota. We had fifteen knots of apparent wind right up our chuff - so goosewinged the main and Genoa most of the way which took just three and a bit hours. Rota old town is charming. My camera battery gave up after three shots last night. Photo above is from the square of Castillo de Luna.

Shadows before sunset.
