So the entry into the pool at Faro was under engine, and with a rising tide. We edged gently into these previously unvisited waters, at times with only a few inches of water under our keel, until we found the anchorage opposite Olhao.
The spot was almost perfect, with a superb sunset over the sandy island of Culatra to the west.
Next morning, the four of us went ashore to explore the island. There are no cars there, just a fishing village and some holiday accommodation, plus a fantastic, seemingly endless beach to the west, with, on this occasion, plenty of rolling surf.
A few miles later, and explored out, we returned to the village for a late lunch of various fresh fish....swordfish, sea bass, squid etc. All very good.
A couple more nights at the anchorage prepared us for the next trip.....a short hop around to Vilamoura!
