For sailors sailing to Gibraltar, a crucial mooring tip
For sailors sailing to Gibraltar, Mustafa Yurtbulmuş, a seasoned sailor and writer, offers a crucial mooring tip. In his latest book chronicling his five-year voyage across five continents and oceans, he shares his experience in Gibraltar.
Mustafa Yurtbulmuş learned firsthand that choosing the right marina is key in Gibraltar: English marina requires a UK visa, while next to this marina there is a Spanish marina accepting a Schengen visa. So the tip is, choose a marina taking into account your visa requirements.
While Gibraltar is primarily under British control, it's geographically close to Spain, just across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Mustafa Yurtbulmuş recounts his adventures in his book "Balıkçıl'ın Dünya Turu" ("The Heron's World Tour"). Currently available only in Turkish, Yurtbulmuş intends to publish an e-book version in English. Documenting his voyage with his wife and occasionally with friends, the book delves into the challenges faced at sea, offers valuable tips for sailors, provides intriguing historical anecdotes, and offers insights to relish the maritime lifestyle.
Yurtbulmuş describes it not as a pilot book but a road trip book takes place at sea.
