We left Cascais yesterday morning at about 10 am. The usual fight for the fuel dock ensued with all nationalities trying to get there first, The trouble was that to stake your claim you had to be on the dock somewhere,not necessarily in fuel hose range, but this meant that when the boat that was filling up finished and left the dock, a space was created for the next. The speed that you could untie and move decided your position. Quite fun and some Irishman copped all sorts of abuse when he assumed that it was his go four boats early!
 
We are having a frustrating sail with 10-15Kn of wind and having had a sailable breeze for last night, the wind has died and the motor is on. This morning at dawn we had a delivery of jumping squid on the deck – in need of a little more than just moisturizer!
