Gibraltar, day 3 report.....
Our host in Gibraltar the
Queens Harbour Master (QHM)
This fine gentleman also
hosted us in 1999 when visited on that Cruise.
We always get the BEST dock
in town, right in front of his Office.
THANK YOU Geoff, from all the
STATE OF MAINE students, staff and crew.
Day 3 yesterday was even better than day
2....no fire and emergency drill to start the day, but bright
sunshine and nice clear atmosphere all day made for truly
spectacular views. The rock is noted for views towards Spain,
into the Med and across the straits to Morocco with today
being spectacular in all directions. (see photos below)
Many ventured off last night to view the Soccer
game between AC Milan and Liverpool.....accordingly everyone that
had something RED was wearing it last night. Kickoff was 2045
local time here so it was about 2230 before it was over.
Unfortunately Liverpool lost, but it was a good game.
Our first port call is complete and other
than most spending more than they planned, the word is that they all
had a great time AND learned a lot about History and Geography to
boot......
We also had the pleasure of hosting Ms.
Emily Worth aboard during our stay. Emily is the daughter of
MMA Captain John Worth and hails from Belfast Maine. She is a
Junior at the University of Pennsylvania and is studying this
semester in Madrid Spain so she came down to visit with us and see
some sights with some of her former Belfast High School
classmates. After four months abroad, I think she was ready for a
bit of Maine.
