    Gibraltar, Gibraltar

    Yesterday we got stuck in Cartagena due to the retrieval system for a lifeboat breaking so we couldn’t pull it back up. We had crew drills in the morning and part of that sometimes is they lower the lifeboats on one side and practice driving them, giving cadets an opportunity to learn and check everything still works okay. We were suppose to sail at 4:30 but when we went up to take photos at the sail away party and saw a lifeboat in the water something was obviously wrong. They finally got the retrieval system fixed and for the lifeboat up around 11pm. So we were late arriving in Gibraltar. We docked around 11 and we are still leaving at 3:30 so there’s not much time. Jackson and I however have headed to Little Bay an Indian restaurant beside the water that a friend of his works at. It was really good. We will however have to be heading back to the ship soon since crew have to be onboard at 3pm.Read more
