went large Tom?) and today was wash day. I took a rather traditional
approach. Skip decided to don wellies and tread sheets in the heads.Figgy
seems a distant memory already and it feels good to be on our way even if we
are making short hops. Nazare was an interesting town and within striking
distance of Figgy for future trips from the Pink House. The old town has the
most wonderful views from the cliff top towards Peniche and Berlenga south
to Cabo Mondego in the north. The old town is reached by way of a funicular
railway but I was driven there by Sally, wife of Captain M. F. Hadley, the
harbour master, lovely couple from Torbay originally. When they sailed into
Nazare nine years ago they intended to stay one night.
Ilha da Berlenga was a delight and completely unspoilt. We are staying in
Peniche another night so we can explore the town and inland. All is well dad
and I haven't been asked to walk the plank, yet. Hope all is well at DHHQ
Lester and I that RA is doing well in the bottom's cup Ian. X's H,T & L Lori
