Thanks Rosie. We’re off today! xx

Hi
Thanks for your comment. Let’s hope we didn’t upset too many Spaniards then!

I say Portuguese because we come from Culatra and haven’t disembarked on the Spanish side and are across from Vila Real de S.A.

However, the chart shows we are anchored on the Spanish side.

With regard to your question: you can’t ever fly a sovereign nation’s flag below another because it indicates subsidiarity. So, can’t fly Port. flag below Spanish flag nor vice-versa.

Cheerio,

Thanks Sue. I agree – it makes me nervous of swimming in the sea, watching out for jellyfish all the time. Fine watching from the deck. xx

Hi Jim. We paid a flying (sailing?) visit to Cadiz and only had an afternoon to look around. Lovely, worth longer. Not sure I’d wish to speculate on the flavour of jellyfish, though if I was a leatherback turtle or bearded goby I’m sure I’d find them delicious, and I think that they are eaten in Asia. I read that they are massively on the increase in the oceans and a nuclear reactor in Sweden had to be shut down when they blocked the water intake pipes. Hugh is convinced that it was a Portuguese Man of War we saw washed up on the beach on the Isla de Culatra…. x

We will never know but I wouldn’t worry too much Judy. They are barrel jellyfish and appently have been washed up in huge numbers on the beaches of SW England, some as big as wheelie bins. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. Annie x

Hi Liz. Congratulations on the job. No, we’re off further South after Gibraltar. To Morocco and the Canaries. Have a great time in the South of France. Annie x
