Title: UPDATE FROM VILLAMOURA

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

Communication lapse, due to not quite having the satphone connected, plus
no wifi here, given its a very upmarket marina - a bit surprising.
Anyway sailed here yesterday through the hottest temperatures yet
experienced, at one stage read 121 on the baro! also attacked by a swarm
of mosquitos in the middle of the sea - huh! More anon.
