Detailed Track:
https://share.garmin.com/svBlueNote

The track we have been following (north of Ponta De Sagres), will allow us to have a broader angle with
the stronger North wind predicted for tomorrow.
We expect a fast run and we should arrive to Ponta de Sagres tomorrow before sunset.
We are planing to anchor for the night along the south Portugal coast, for then, the next morning,  follow the coast at the 20m depth.
This is the accepted recommendation in order to avoid encounter/attack by the orca.
