GIBRALTA x Whenever someone mentions The Rock during a conversation about the Med, only the greenest of boots who still believe in mail buoys and Doc's square needles would not understand that The Rock is Gibraltar. Because of its location, Gibraltar is forever a welcome sight. For the sailor just arriving in the Med, The Rock means a long trip is past and liberty will not be far away. For a sailor westward bound, it is Europe's final landmark, and he knows within a few days he'll again set foot on a familiar shore.

7 - GENOA Genoa, birthplace of Columbus, sceni- cally situated on the tip of the Italian Riviera, was an eagerly awaited port. Though a sailor's dollar didn't stretch as far in Genoa as it had in Cartegena, the famous port offered a wider variety of entertainment and shopping. Hank sailors ventured by foot or cable car to the city's hilltop park for picture taking, and ate and drank in a restaurant atoppone of Europe's tallest skyscrapers. The Hank's call at Genoa was cut short to patrol the straits between Corsica and Elba, apparently to prevent Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria set sail across a lawn another return by Napoleon.
