I mentioned the HR 42 when I left Cascais. She is called Bagheera and I managed to stay with her for a while.
 
 
But eventually she disappeared into the distance
 
 
Bagheera went into Sines whilst I carried on and sailed all night until the sun came up over Cabo De Sao Vicente.
 
 
I had slowed down as I didn't want to get into shallow waters until daylight so as to keep away from fishing buoys. There were not that many  so it would have been alright.
 
As I rounded the Capes Sarah Giddings a Rival 34 popped out of an anchorage about a mile ahead of me and I followed her the 20 or so nm into Lagos where she is on the next door pontoon.
 
 
The final headland before Lagos.
 
I will leave here tomorrow and probably go to Ayamonte which about 60nm from here and is the first place on the southern Spanish coast.
