No wind, only heat, running with the dinghies

So we are still in Ria Arosia, enjoying the great
weather. We are at anchor in a bay with a beach that is very shallow. Good for
the children, less so for the adults. Actually it must have looked quite funny
the other day, all families with 4 dinghies at the beach.
The tide started to go low. At a point we had to
walk about 50 meters with the dinghies so we helped each ther out, all carrying
one dinghy to the waterline, then we went up for the next and so on. But the
tide was going down so fast, as we came with the fourth dinghy the first one was
again 25 meters from the water. So we kept on running with the tide and finally
cought up...
The kids have a great time playing with each other.
Ellinor is now running on the beach with Emma from SY Elin, they do it in
the morning before the heat goes up. I have put together the kayak and will
go for a ride when she comes back. We have dolphins in the bay and I hope they
will not play with me. Our plan is to move on by tuesday as the wind will start
again. At the same time there is a hurricane moving across the Atlantic and is
by now at the Azores, in about ten days there will be some effect on these
waters as well, probably gales and big waves, so we will move small steps at the
time. Still aiming for Madeira of course.
