Some Photos

The method of incorporating photos on Blogger is quite difficult in the dark with a dodgy wifi connection so I will follow past practise and put a bunch up here.

This is a typical street scene in Cadiz

Barbate is famous for it't tuna which they catch using a system called Almadabra which involves mooring very long nets to the sea bed for the entire summer. They are a particular hazard when navigating the straits. Happily the season was over when we went through but there was this collection of impressive anchors ashore.

The Sraits of Gibraltar are one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world - very similar to the Dover Straits really. This is a picture of the AIS screen when a few miles short of Tarifa. For the uninitiated, each of the triangles represents a ship which could be anything from a yacht to a supertanker. It is not as scary as it might seem since there is a thing called a traffic separation scheme which is like a virtual motorway on the sea and I am outside the TSS and in what is called the Inshore Traffic Zone. Big ships don't go in the ITZ. :-)
