We have been here 6 days waiting for the weather to clear.  Wind in the harbour has been up to 35 knots in recent days.  Wind is now down to 10 knots and expected to stay light for a few days before picking up again to F7 from the south after the weekend, so we are motivated to get on while we can. Our intention is to go direct to Cascais, where John is joining us on 23rd, but there are several interim ports we can use in case of unexpected bad weather.

 

The genoa is repaired, the engines fuelled and it is time to go off in search of sunny weather.
