EUROPA POINT (GIBRALTAR)

The trip starts when you are safely aboard and are served a welcome drink, our preference being something chilled and bubbly, but other options are of course available.

When you are settled and comfortable, and the fresh sea air has built up an apetite, we will prepare a lunch pack which you can enjoy in the saloon, in the cockpit at the Captain's table or on deck by yourself, giving you time to enjoy the tranquility of the sea.

If you chose a sunrise cruise and the morning fog has lifted we can promise you amazing views of the meeting of three countries and two continents. Spain and Gibraltar in Europe and Morocco on the northern coast of Africa. 

If the time is right heading back, you might witness a spectacular sunset, the light fading beyond Costa del Sol and Gibraltar.

If time permits, before bringing Tealie back to her berth we will take a ten minute detour and follow the canal to the inner parts of Sotogrande marina, past the luxurious and colourful apartments at the frontline of the canal.

  • Although hot on land, the sea air can get humid and chilly, especially around sunset. For your own comfort, we recommend bringing a warm jumper or jacket.
  • Please bring proper shoes with white, rubber soles. The deck is slippery when wet and we wish to avoid any accidents. If the weather is warm enough, barefoot is a good option.

  • If you wish to let your family and friends know where you are sailing, they can follow you by searching for TEALIE on VesselFinder or by clicking on MarineTraffic.


MOTION SICKNESS

Motion sickness is the worst, especially wobbling on a sailboat with no immediate escape. However, if you tend to get motion sick, don't worry, there are some precautions to take before and during the trip.

Before the trip
  • Check with your doctor or pharmasist which medicines or patches to be recommended. The adhesive patch is put behind your ear a few hours before boarding. We have pills and wrist bracelets if needed.
  • Buy a pack of lozenges, preferably something with ginger.
  • Do not eat a big meal before boarding.
  • Lay of alcohol, caffeine and drink lots of water.
  • Bring a distraction - like music with headphones.
During the trip
  • If you brought music, listen to it as it might add some distraction.
  • Find a better spot. Many find relief by taking the helm.
  • Lie down if you can, keep your head still, shut your eyes or follow the horizon. Whatever is best for you.
  • We will provide something salty, like chips or crackers, green apples, i.e. Granny Smith, anything with ginger, i.e. lozenges.
  • Drink ginger ale or ginger tea, Coca-Cola, the real stuff.
If nothing of the above helps, we will give you a bucket and head back to Sotogrande.
