We left Lisbon on Friday and returned to Cascais where the Americas Cup yachts (Extreme 40s) had arrived and were practising at speed! After another two nights being blown around by the strong winds we left today at 6.30am to sail here. We have had a fabulous day with good winds and sunshine, downwind for 58 miles.A whale swam across our bows and lots of dolphins came to play.The windex packed up 10 minutes after we started so it looks as if another trip up the mast beckons for Mark tomorrow. We will stay here for 2 nights before rounding Cape St Vincent to arrive in the Algarve.
