Local time -- seems to be 0848...
Porto, or actually -- Leixoes Port /
Marina.
So, we moved a bit more South, following the coast,
and entered Portugal.
It was a long day. With a bit of everythnig --
-- sailing, in a light conditions, with
a good wind on back quarlter;
-- motor sailing;
-- and sailing again...
-- a lot of dolphins;
-- a lot of fishing nets...
All and all -- it took more then 12 hours to make
the passage. The biggest fun of it -- we werle sailing together with
another boat, and I got some experience how we are doing in
comparisson with the other boat...
Arrived late at the evening, a bit tired
after the day on the water... Nice, should be easy to anchor place, in
front of the Marina...
And for reason I still do not understand fully -- I
can not anchor -- eithre the anchor does not want to grab and to hold, or in
result -- the wind change a bit, and I misjudge the place, too close to other
boat... or both... In short -- embarasment and frustration which I still
have to recover from! ;-)
But then -- we are on anchor, in 35-37 ft of water
( when the tide is high), I had a long sleep, a good coffe in the
morning...
And a new day, full of challenges ahead!
One of them -- to find out what happened to my UK
Vodafone Internet, which they promised should work nicely here!
And then to have a real Internet.
We are good.
Talk to you later,
