Unfortunately, we had a tough timeline as we needed to be in Gibraltar in August.
Sailing is typically not done with a timeline in mind. But today you have modern equipment, a good engine, and a big tank. Well, ‘big’ is relative and you must learn how the needle is tricking you and why. :)We will talk about that later.
