We have had a enjoyable couple of days
here at Fig de Foz.
Saturday Terry went on the organised trip which
included a medieval fair which was brilliant. The rest of us stayed
onboard and did a few jobs around the boat and
genally took it easy.
Last night was the Rall dinner at the Casino
Figueria - and guess what we came 3rd in the race down on Friday which means we
have come 2nd and 3rd on the two rally races. At this rate Tony will
need a trophy cabinet.
We had a really nice dinner followed by a musical
show which was excellent. Terry gave me a quick guided tour of the Casino
(first time ive been to one).
Today was a jobs day and we have giventhe boat a
really good clean.
Tonight we are all having a Pontoon Party to
celebrate Alison (from Red Skies) 60th birthday. Tomorrow is a 09:00
start for the next leg ofthe rally. The route has had to be changed and we
are now going to Nazare tomorrow followed by a short leg to an overnight anchor
in Peniche bay the next day. This change is due to the pontoon not being
finished in Peniche (following storm damage). We all feel the extra leg and
the overnight anchor will be a welcome addition to the Rally.
Attached a couple of pics - one from last nights
dinner at the Casino (John and Terry with the Essex Geezers from Andiamo) and
one of Popeye hard at work in the gally.
