Wednesday 12th - rounding the southern end of Portugal and Spain

 Another day, another dollar.  The sea is calm, the classes are organised, everything is calm.

I say the classes are organised – we were a bit full this afternoon.  The last, rather well spoken lady, came in at 5 past 2 and was quite put out that class was full.  I set up another table for her, but she wasn’t happy.

The only other thing of note was a hawk that arrived at lunchtime.  We were a good 15-20 miles from the coast, so the poor thing must have been absolutely knackered, as I understand it birds of prey don’t normally manage long distances unless they are soaring.  The wildlife photographer on the next table said it was a kestrel which usually only have a 3-5 mile range, so it must have blown off course.   (Afternote, I spoke to a birder a couple of days later – he seems to think it would more likely be a Hobby)

Gibraltar tomorrow – I’m really looking forward to it.
