Greetings from Sotogrande!!!

Well we've made it this far!
After our initial rainy, bumpy crossing of the Gulf du Lions the sea flattened out and we had a pleasant trip pretty well the rest of the way. I was even treated to a Dolphin display on my (21st) birthday yesterday. This part of the trip has taken us 4 days. Once we sorted out the shift patterns it wasn't too bad. I did the 10 til 2 and Jon followed me. the day shift wasn't so bad but the graveyard shift was facinating. The night sky in the Med is so clear you can see millions of stars and you can see ships 12 - 14 miles away quite clearly. I kept an (AIS) eye out for Hurricane in Jenny Wren but I think we missed him by a day, We are here for a couple more days while various jobs get done on the boat then we fly home for a few days before coming back for the next installment.
Here are some random pics so far.
Note our new lookout in the 3rd pic
