R2R 011 Moroccan moment

Submitted by Miss Tippy on 2009/10/20 – 13:365 Comments

After a month in Gibraltar we were ready for our warm up cruise with the Blue Water Rally to Smir in Morocco. We set off in the dark early on Saturday with Rally Organisers, Tony and Christine Diment plus John’s friend Bex for a great weekend! After an invigorating sail we enjoyed wandering ancient streets in Tetuan and were then drawn into the inevitable carpet and spice souks before an evening at a local restaurant. We were sad to leave on Sunday but had a relaxing sail, with some company from dolphins, as we returned to Gibraltar for our last week of preparation.

    Hi Annie and all
    Have enjoyed your posts to date, Annie your hair looks great. We are really annoyed as we have just been down to Marbella and considered popping down to see Gibraltar for the day on or around the 20th or 21st October had we been a bit more up to date we could have paid you a visit. Congratulations on finally setting off and for catching a Tuna!. Have a great sail
    Love from Maddie and Family
