After yesterday’s exuberant weather it was rather disappointing and tame
today. We covered almost 38nm but only half was under sail alone. We
tried Charlie Cruising Chute for a short period, then had to goosewing which
worked for a while but was hard work so decided to fly Red Passion.
The weather forecast had predicted some good winds so it was a shame to find we
were dripping along compared with yesterday – 4kts was positively
pedestrian! This part of Portugal looks very appealing and we are
looking forward to spending a couple of days
here. |
