corrosion that is caused by galvanic action.

Early this morning, as we transited the Straits of
Gibraltar, Cadet Castorena, the senior on watch, conned the
ship through fleets of fishing boats at the entrance of the
strait while Cadet Johnson navigated the ship taking ranges
and bearings from various points of land. Both did an
outstanding job. At 0918, the pilot boarded and took
us to the anchorage in the Bay of Gibraltar.
Now we are taking on bunkers from "Spabunker
Twenty," a bunker barge that is almost as large as the Texas
Clipper II.
Approximately, 1900 we will depart the Bay
of Gibraltar and head to San Juan.
