Morocco Malta and The Med: Alboran Sea and the Rock of Gibraltar

Heading out from Algiers, at sea, en route to Casablanca on the Alboran Sea.

This is exactly what our early morning looks like – dark and filmy. It’s not the camera – it’s the reality.

It is a very flat day. It is a great day to read books, listen to some music, eat a light meal or two, hang out in the spa, and snooze a little.

Flat flat and gray gray.

Late in the afternoon, the Captain announces we will be passing The Rock of Gibralter. We have passed the iconic rock many times by ship – but always at night. This is our first daylight passage. But look at the sky, so flat, the light, so flat. Oh well, you take the shot you have.

And then, just as we are passing The Rock of Gibralter, Jebel Tarik, we hit sunset and a band of light shows up, just for moments, the only band of light all day. It’s as good as it’s ever going to get.

Tomorrow we dock in Casablanca.
