Made it to Africa!

In Tangier. Crossing the shipping lanes was like playing Frogger. At one point there were 13 ships coming at us on ais. Talked to one and scooted behind their stern. A marvelous broad reach with Big seas confused by a 2-3 knot foul current.At one point the spinnaker started to unfurl. Before going out on deck we talked and made a careful plan. Three of us donned life jackets, clipped in and in 15-18 knots of wind went forward and wrestled it down. I was on the halyard safely at the mast, Francesca and John went to the bow, Richard drove the boat. Success without incident. Sail packed away in the sail locker.

Upon arrival, the dock staff were extremely courteous and helpful. Custom agents all business but polite. About 3 hours to clear customs. Finally docked. 8:45 pm. Sounds of prayers coming from the city, we knew we were in Morocco. Heading to dinner soon.
