Having stocked up in the supermarket in Lagos we set off
for Portimão only a short sail along the coast. We anchored just inside the
two moles along with a number of other yachts and spent the afternoon relaxing
– again!
Where did they get the paint for the
houses around the marina?
Much prettier on the eastern side.
The afternoon and evening were rather windy but our new
spade anchor didn’t budge. However one other boat having dragged his
anchor umpteen times over the afternoon finally gave up the ghost and headed
off for the marina.
The following day we went round in the dinghy (having blown
it up again) behind the castle-like building above and went ashore in the
little village of Ferragudo. The pilot
book recommended the restaurants on the quay there where they cook the sardines
outside. Very picturesque but very disappointing sardines!
I somehow don’t think he passed
