Dear readers of SailingSymi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of you have been following us via the tracking page on Predictwind.com and may have already learned that we arrived safe and sound this morning at the southwestern tip of Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n

6.5 days of nearly ideal conditions and a great crew were bound to lead to success <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, though marked by a constant stream of large ships crossing our path\u2014moving north-south on a sort of two-lane highway from Africa toward the north or south\u2014went off without a hitch. The only short-term effects were spontaneous adrenaline surges\u2014and thus heightened alertness\u2014whenever a 300-meter-long behemoth crossed our wake 500 meters behind us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So now we're back on the European mainland, which means we've completed our Atlantic cruise. \u2714\ufe0f.
We'll be anchoring in Faro this evening, and Anna will disembark tomorrow and fly back to Vienna.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our plan now is to sail to the northwest corner of the Strait of Gibraltar by July 26 and pass through it. For this to happen, several factors must align: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. - Westerly winds, light to moderate <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. - The trip was scheduled to take place 2 hours before high tide in Gibraltar, when the tide flows eastward<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. - You should sail during the day.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This rendezvous will take place on July 26 at 12:00 p.m., and we should set out at exactly that time so that we can reach the safe marina at La Linea (next to Gibraltar) after three hours. Due to the orca problems and attacks here along the coast and in the Gulf, we\u2019re taking the recommended detour that runs along the coast the entire way. In water depths of 0\u201320 meters, there has been only one attack on a yacht so far. This tactic is strongly recommended by the Spanish authorities, and it looks like a sort of single-file procession of yachts, all of them avoiding deep water and dutifully sailing along the 20-meter depth line\u2014from the Atlantic, along the entire southern coast of Portugal and Spain, all the way to the northwestern corner of the Strait of Gibraltar.\nWe\u2019ll then leave Symi moored at the marina for the month of August and fly to Austria for a short vacation.\n\nWarm regards from aboard,\nThe Symi Crew and Capt. Pavlo<\/p>\n\n\n\n
