Safely back in the water, we have re-rigged Watergaw and
are working our way through the systems to make sure all is well. We have
taken a couple of nights off the cooking, having found a fine little
restaurant within a hop, step and jump (how Olympian) from our
berth.
It has been hot and sunny since we arrived back on
Wednesday night, but we have had a bit of rain today and it is now very humid.
The Azores High is again misbehaving, with a small Low drifting in
from the Atlantic, so it looks a bit changeable this week. Nonetheless, the
forecast for the next few days is likely to bring us some decent south
westerlies if we leave Tuesday, and then things should revert to normal (Azores
High re-asserting itself) as we get nearer the Iberian coast where the
Portuguese Trades should give us a fair sail.
Boa Tarde
