Start of my solo voyage
Finally I departed from Gibraltar for my solo voyage. Just one day after reaching
Portimao I was constantly followed by the press and the tourists. All day there were lots
of people coming over at the pier. And everyone had to take photos! I found all this
really annoying. Guppy had to be tested with the newly installed equipment.
So I decided to sail for Gibraltar in the hope I would find some tranquility. I went for a
visit of the Rock of Gibraltar. The monkeys that live there even climbed inside the car. I
found the old bunkers upon the rock very interesting.
On Saturday morning, August 21st, my father undid the mooring cables and I finally
sailed away solo!
