Hi all,
It's sometime since we updated our web page, we
thought you might like to see what we have been up to in the last few
weeks. Let us know if you enjoy our pictures or
are they really boring? Would you prefer more information on the
locations
that we visit?
Faro
Very high tide in the village, most of the
shops were flooded but that did not deter the locals from enjoying the day.
Everyone was having fun including the children
who were paddling in the flooded streets and Tori joined them, running
and splashing everywhere.
 
Faro!!! Well this is
different
Strange what a little rain does to some dogs
Keep him away from my
bottom dad
  Just when was having
fun The
locals in Faro won't be put off by a little downpour!

Portamao
Here we are at our favourite anchorage and
Lucy's private beach in Portamao. We haven't actually visited the marina
because it seem to be very built up and catering
for the tourist industry, but maybe one day we will go there.
 
Wish I was back in England

Thought you may like to see it

Bed Time
Villamora
Arrived in Villamora on the 4th September and
spent a relaxing few days there with the girls until we set off for Lagos
where the girls departed on the 11th September
bound for the UK and school. After the girls left we sailed up and down
the Algarve waiting for Callums arrival on the
21st September.
  Come on Dad lets get
going!
Lucy enjoys cycling around the Marina
  She attracts a lot of
attention sitting in her
basket Callum
arrived on 21st September.
On our way to
Canaries
We allowed Callum a few days to acclimatise
before we provisioned and made plans for our trip to Lanzarote.
  Hello out there! This
is for you wee
ballach
By special request ATALAYA Sailing....
 
.... And

....and again
  After three days we
sight Lanzarote
A bit
closer
Puerto Calero -
Lanzarote
The trip down was quite uneventful with calm
seas very little wind and the only sea life we saw was two squid that
committed suicide by leaping out of the sea on
to our decks. Arrived in Puerto Calero on the 29th
September with a view
to stay for three
days and ended up staying two weeks.
  Land at last all that sailing makes a
girl cross legged
Who's are those white legs in front???
