Date: Sunday March 1, 2009
Departure: 10 AM local Canary Island time
Routing: Moroccan Coastline
Aircraft: Flight Club Mediterranean Q-400
Altitude: 3,000 feet over water, 6,000 feet over land
Miles: Total Mile were 716
Arrival Stats: Notably warmer and still windy. Just before 2 PM local time.

Notes: Finally time to move on I guess ... having spent several weeks in and around the Canary Islands I needed to continue my trek around the world (I still have Europe and South America to cover!) I set out on a crystal clear, windy day and headed across the water to Agadir Morocco.Then I turned northward over the mountains and climbed to 6,000 feet crossing Essaouira.

165 miles to Casablanca (Just had the Jan 2009 FOTM there)
157 miles to Tanger
107 miles to Al Hoceima
