I&#8217;ve survived on those 2 hour sleep plus a number of 15 to 20 minutes power naps while keeping the watch. We&#8217;ve reached Spain after 17 hours of sailing.<\/p>\n<p>Morocco is a police state where you can get in trouble for taking photos of any of king&#8217;s palaces. BTW on out 20 minute ride form marina to Tetouan we encountered two of those palaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once we left Marina Smir we sailed down the Moroccan coast until we reached Oued Bouchia with it beautiful and\u00a0 picturesque village.There I drop the anchor just in front of a beautiful beach.
