EN// It is only the beginning of July and the interactions are intensifying and concentrating in the area of the Strait of Gibraltar, especially in the area close to Trafalgar, when sailing in this area take into account that if the killer whales start to touch the boat the first thing to do is to stop the boat (even lower the sails) and turn off the autopilot, then follow the steps of the safety protocol.

It should be noted that there major works being carried out in Ocean Village Marina Bay. Pilings are being done for the new construction works. These will include holiday homes in the middle of the marina stretching out further toward end of runway. Works are going to be on going for quite some time. And I would envisage a loss of berths while this is on going. They are catering toward Super yachts.

Still worth a visit as you are nearby to Bars and restaurants, it can get noisy at weekends.
Queensway Quay is still a more peaceful and enjoyable berthing. Restaurants and bars, but quieter overall . I would say more sheltered as well. Close to the south end of Main Street.
There are now 3 supermarkets in Gibraltar. Morrisons which is by far the largest and stocks an abundance of UK goods. Eroski there main outlet is on the north side of the runway, stock both spanish and waitrose’s goods. And the newest situated in Marina bay is a Tesco type store offering Tesco products as well as Spanish. All offer fresh veg and fruit.
