We have had the day in the marina whilst the wind howled as predicted, fortunately no rain at all and instead the sun blazed down into the cockpit and the saloon which was a very pleasant. Whilst disappointing not to be underway to Faro, we definitely felt we'd made the right decision to stay here, especially as there is a bar at the entrance to the River Guadiana with a swell in southerly breezes.

As promised we made 'chocolate fudge' although we had to have two attempts as the first was a disaster (we needed Tania here with her fudge-expertise). All was well that ended well as the second attempt got the thumbs up all round!

The winds seems to have calmed down so we will aim to leave at first light.
