Thursday
Sines
Spent day walking and exploring and lunch out.
 
   
 
 
 
Friday
Left Sines at 6.30. Mixture of motoring and broad reaching and dolphins with us for hours.
 
    
 
    
 
   rounding Cabo de Sao Vincente
 
Rounding the point the wind freshened and we had a good reach into Sagres.
 
Arrived at Sagres  58.3 miles logged and anchored off the beach.
 
      
 
 
Saturday
 
Left Sagres about 08.30 as the swell had set in and was uncomfortable.
 
Arrived at Lagos and checked into the marina for a couple of nights.
 
     
 
     
 
     
 
  Skipper at work.
 
Sunday went for an earlyish morning walk and then got stuck into boat jobs.
Removed the genoa to clean the sacrificial strip after the dirt of 3 weeks ago and stipped down the Profurl reefing system to check it all out and retension the forestay.
 
The temperature was so high we both used the water pipe on the pontoon to cool down.
 
The plan is to leave Monday morning and sail a few miles east  to anchor off Portimao
