22nd July Yesterday we sailed from Leixoes to Figeira de Foz. We left in the fog with little wind. Fog and skies gradually cleared and the sun and wind arrived. This seems to be a pattern everyday so that we get good sailing each afternoon.
 
This morning we left Figeira in the rain but it soon cleared and now at 1000 we are under main and gennaker making 7-8 knots which should give us a fast passage to Peniche. Since we left early we have already had the morning break which includes the marvellous fruit cake which Bernie, Sean's wife, baked for us. Unfortunately we have just started the second one so it will all be gone before we get to Lagos.
