Tankers at anchor off of Algeciras; empty tankers without assignments congregate here, because the Straits of Gibraltar is a central location.

Our ferry, an old tub out of Tanger named the Boughaz, had seen better days (a long time ago). Thus we felt it prudent to check out the lifeboats.

The Straits of Gibraltar, a.k.a the Pillars of Hercules; Gibraltar is just beyond the tip of the land at left.

The boat looks much better on the poster than it does in person
