Gibraltar

I feel that I should mention this. The day after the auction, we bunkered for a day in the straights of Gibraltar. Spain on one side and Morocco on the other. We stayed in one spot for a whole day. I think I had a test that day, but life went on like normal. We refueled there because it’s the cheapest in the Mediterranean. We didn’t completely refuel, but to do so costs half a million dollars. That’s the thing. People don’t really realize how much this whole voyage costs. ISE and SAS are completely non profit entities. It costs 7 grand an hour to dock in Casablanca and it’s a horrible port. We don’t go to France ever because it’s SOOOO freakin expensive. A lot of kids didn’t want to refuel because they said SAS makes too much money anyway. It’s totally not the case. Some years they have to ask for donations just to make ends meet. It’s a wonderful program and I’m so glad that it’s still around despite the expenses. And Gibraltar was cool. We got a great look at the Rock of Gibraltar!
