Cat and Mouse game

British has governed the "rock" for 200 years. and the Spanish want it back. Constant "tit for tat" infringement of  boarders etc. Last couple of weeks Spanish fishing boats and Spanish Coast guard vessels, have been crossing into Gibraltar waters, causing UK patrol boats to try and "chase" them away, peace fully(verbally) over the VHF, informing them of the Violation of the UN rule of "right of innocent passage"(below). Last week Spanish coast guard arrested a Gibraltar fishing boat(on "British" waters) during a couple of hours , which caused a diplomatic reaction.
Took following pictures during yesterdays cat and mouse game.

Britterna har regerat paa "klippan" i 200 aar. Spanjorerna vill ha tillbaka den. Graensoeverskridande  vedergaellningar hoer till vardagen. De senaste tvaa veckorna har Spanska fiske och kustbevaknings fartyg roert sig inanfoer Gibraltars vatten. Detta har resulterat i Brittiska patrull baatars staendiga VHF tjatande om att de bryter mot FN regel om fri passage igenom andras vatten. Foerra veckan arresterade Spansk kustbevakning en Gibraltar fiskebaat (Paa Brittiskt vatten) under naagra timmar, detta ledde till diplomtiska reaktioner. Tog foeljande bilder under gaardagens "katt och raatta" lek.

 Cool fisher men, ignoring the Brittish police on Brittish waters.
 Brittish patrol boat can also just sit and watch.

Quite a fast boat, saw him go very fast the other day, jumping the waves
