At 04.30 Ventura altered onto an easterly course to enter the traffic separation scheme of the Gibralta straight. She then followed various easterly courses throught the busy waters of the straight, with the lights of Morocco clearly visable on her starboard side and Gibralta and Southern Spain visible to port. Shortly after 6 o'clock the transit of the scheme was complete and courses were set through the Alboran sea passing cabo de Gata shortly after midday.
From noon yesterday untill noon today Ventura steamed a total of 526 nautical miles at an average speed of 22 knots. For the remainder of the afternoon and into the night, Ventura continued paralled to the coast of Spain en-route to Barcelona.
