Our latest trip to Gibraltar was a perfect combination of an interesting location and a purpose. Gibraltar is a really interesting place. We wanted to learn to sail and quickly picked out Gibraltar as the place to do it. Because sailing the Strait of Gibraltar would be a great learning opportunity and a fun sail and over the five day course we would visit three countries and two continents.
As the year closes, and we start receiving Christmas letters from others, I realize I have done very little to my blog this year and we have been living anonymously like most folks. I lost interest in the blog a little bit. It was set up when we were true nomadic travelers, when every week
