Sunday 2 November. Weather 14C,
overcast.
A quiet day for the team when we systematically
go through the boat checking sails, fixing niggling
problems and generally doing the final shakedown
for the voyage.
 moreSteve L narrowly avoids amputation after
yesterday's savaging by
marina mullett, (See report 1 Nov). He is treated
by nursey christine
and the crew are forced to endure steve's bare legs
for the rest of the day.
 moreLocal boat electrician Afonso Zagalo seemingly
generating his own
electricity while tweaking our electrical
system.  moreRoger and Steve B go to extreme lengths to avoid
washing up.
 moreLeft to right. Nurse Christine, Mullet Man Steve
Lee, Captn Rog,
Pontoon Thumper Geoff, Chief Cabin Steward and
Cushion Co-ordinator
Steve Burrett. Steve Lee gives new meaning to the
phrase 'Dream Team'
since he appears to be asleep in this photo.
We plan to leave tomorrow about midday for
Lanzarote,
approx. passage time 5-7 days.
During this period we hope to post our position and
condition once a day
but photographs may be more difficult to put on the
site
and will follow when we reach a broadband connection on land.
Off now to sample one of Cascais' fine eating
establishments.
Tomorrow we migrate south to hopefully warmer
weather.
END OF TODAY'S REPORT.
