Not a gentleman

There's an old phrase, "a gentleman doesn't sail to windward"; well apparently I'm not a gentleman because that's all I've done since I've been in the Med it seems. Just pounding one wave after the next and they are short period waves so quite choppy as opposed to long swells like many ocean waves. Currently passing Cartagena, Spain where I kept the boat for awhile last fall. Next up are the Balaeric islands, Ibiza, Mallorca, and Menorca.
