On this day we sailed from Cascais to a place called Sines, which is about 50 miles south of Cascais.  It was a great day sailing with the last part having more wind as we rounded the headland.

Unfortunately just after crossing the finishing line we managed to catch the water generator on a lobster pot and left half the generator unit behind. We managed to achieve second place on this leg.
