Sunday 1st November sailed for Cabo de Sines—pronounced “cinch” - the birthplace of Vasco de Gama. This is the last place on the Costa Azul and I’m sure if we had been here in the summer would have been superb. November is still much warmer than it would be in England but the tourists have left so it is quiet. We spent a day looking around but were able to save pennies because most attractions were closed on Mondays.
Tuesday 3rd November sailed YES sailed for the Algarve. Well we had to motor ‘til lunchtime but after that the wind came up and we had a marvellous sail ! Even with the main fully reefed and half the Yankee we were doing 7 knots! If only the whole trip had been like this !!! Arrived at Lagos (pronounced Lagosh) around nine o’clock and had a quick fry-up before hitting the sack totally exhausted !
Before I forget I have put more images into the Picassa album because I just can't get round having them all at the top on this site! if anyone has ideas to help do leave a comment.
