Really justv want to set foot on the African Continent again - bee a long time since we were there last!!!

3.1 Rib v's a few Royal Marines in fast pursuit boat or local patrol boat. Indeed, they will have to catch you first... the rest is inevitable

Codders, are you suggesting what I think you are??

Seriousely, I had thought of going from Cadiz to Gib to Grand Canaria- but would have to refuel in Casablanca. I dont fancy that- but the alternative is to take some 1000 liters in drums from Gib -do you know if Gib is tax and duty free??

Don't know how much Gas costs - petrol however was £0.40 per litre last summer - will have gone up now though - probably about £0.55 or so - prices seem about the same as Guernsey/Jersey - what is it there now???
