Local time  -- seems to be 0848...
 
Porto,  or actually -- Leixoes Port / Marina. 
So, we moved a bit more South, following the coast, and entered Portugal.
 
It was a long day. With a bit of everythnig --
-- sailing, in a light  conditions,  with a good wind  on  back quarlter;
-- motor sailing;
-- and sailing again...
-- a lot of  dolphins;
-- a lot of fishing nets...
 
All and all -- it took more then 12 hours to make the passage.  The biggest fun of it -- we werle sailing together with another boat,  and I got  some experience how we are doing in comparisson with the other boat...
 
Arrived late at the evening,  a bit tired after the day on the water...  Nice, should be easy to anchor place, in front of the Marina...
And for reason I still do not understand fully -- I can not anchor -- eithre the anchor does not want to grab and to hold, or in result -- the wind change a bit, and I misjudge the place, too close to other boat... or both... In short -- embarasment and frustration  which I still have to recover from! ;-)   
 
But then -- we are on anchor, in 35-37 ft of water ( when the tide is high),  I had a long sleep, a good coffe in the morning...
And a new day, full of challenges ahead!
 
One of them -- to find out what happened to my UK Vodafone Internet, which they promised should work nicely here!
And then to have a real Internet.
 
We are good.
Talk to you later,
