Farewell to the Mediterranean - The Battle for Home Begins! #73

The Battle for Home Begins! In April this year, having spent 3 months in Gibraltar, it was time for us to set off and begin the journey home to the U.K. This was not a journey we were relishing but not one we could avoid if we wanted to get home. We'd spent time studying the orca interaction data and the prevailing northerly winds of the Portuguese Atlantic coast trying to determine the best time to begin the journey, as well as studying the tides in the straits and weather forecasts to determine the best day to leave. And all too soon that day was here? Come aboard and join us as we start this rollercoaster journey. We took advice from the amazing team at www.orcas.pt who have scientists studying the orcas working with them to keep advice and information on orca locations up to date. Orcas.pt also have groups on Telegram where sailors and the team share information and up to date sightings and as they pass through the hot spot areas. #followintrepidbear #sailing #saillife #sailor #thissailinglife #liveaboard #orcaalley #gibraltar #headinghome #sailingboat #straitofgibraltar #sailingstories #ouradventures #sailingvlog #liveaboardsailboat #sailingtrip
