Sines

Hi Everyone,

We left Lisbon after a thoroughly enjoyable week in Oeiras Marina just outside the capital. On departure we encountered mountainous waves only 100 meters from the marina and had to motor downstream to put the fenders away and tidy the boat up.

We then went to Sesimbra which is a fishing harbour but new to us. We left the next day, still with the sun shining and 25 knots of wind, we thought this is great we will have a good sail to Sines, but after two hours the wind  died, fortunately it returned soon after 2pm and we arrived in Sines to anchor in the harbour.

We have had wall to wall sunshine for the last three days the first decent weather since we left Basque country. Our plan to go towards Lagos tomorrow
