Monday 6th September
We leave Cascais at 1345 today after a very
pleasant stopover. The marina is good and yesterday under the command of
Herr Simon Derrick we were frogmarched around Lisbon. Occasionally we were
allowed into an approved hostelry and food and drink were summoned. Lisbon
is famous for its custard tarts. We tried a few and had some interesting
cups of tea or 'cha' in teapots that put more tea on the table than in the cup
until we worked out that you have to open the lid first! Anthony took
a day out in Cascais and found himself caught up in a crowd heading into
Mass where he spent the next hour having no idea what was going on. In
fact Lisbon was fascinating and well worth the visit.
In Bayona we erected the ships new bimini and
today we are sailing with the patio windows forard open and we are enjoying the
breeze, you may see this in the pic attached. Many comments have been made as to
the genius of its design but, of course, I am far too modest to mention
these.
We are hoping that we might have a solution to our
watermaker problem and will try this in Lagos. We aim to reach
Lagos in the morning soon after we go round Cape Sr Vincent We are
expecting North/North Easterlies F 3 or 4 but right now we are
motorsailing.
