Malaga to Motril

The winds were gusting over 30kts. waves were huge and got worse as they were banging off the seawall. basically double in size and get really steep. I'm pretty sure the whole Catamaran was completely airborne twice.

Rota to Barbate.

good day of sailing, caught a couple bigger fish. There was a 44 foot catamaran 12 miles directly off our starboard that was attacked by Orcas. Had a May Day, tore off both rudders.

Faro to Cadiz

We caught 10 fish in 5 min. Not so smooth today, we changed sail configuration many times. nothing really helped.

Sines to Sagres

It was a weird ending to the day. 20 min from port, the wind changed almost 180° and picked-up from 15 to 28 kph. Wasn't horrible, but makes everything more difficult.

Brian Barber - That would be an unexpected change for sure. Some quick thinking was probably required! Glad you all made it. Closer to the Big G!
