Day 3 and were sailing!

We popped the spinnaker yesterday and sailed most of the day. I am feeling pretty confident that we will have enough fuel to make it to Gibraltar now. Unfortunately I just downloaded the weather file and see that there will be westerlies starting on Sunday afternoon. We need to take refuge for 12 hours until the wind changes direction again. Looks like the only port we can reach is Algers in Algeria. I am hoping I can find a nice anchorage outside break water that we can anchor. I really do not want to check into the country if it can be avoided. On the positive side, I hear that Algeria has some of the cheapest fuel in the Med.
