Saturday 22^nd August 2009

The staff are shaping up pretty well, no sea sickness, fishing rods assembled and under test, not to mention the sail trimming taken care of !

We had a good trip of around 55 miles, sun & sailing with calm seas, a long way for the first day but they have all enjoyed it.

A swim in the anchorage was cut a bit short after spotting jelly fish, so after showers off the stern and a few bottles of beer we motored on into the marina.

The action didn’t stop there …. a mooring rope caught around the prop and we had to send down our divers (Mark & Rob) to untangle things before hitting the town to sample the local fish and wine.

We rounded off the evening with a ‘digestif’ of chilled pink port from our previous travels to Porto.
