Tuesday 23rd January. Faro anchorage.
Friday 26th January. Staying here in Faro.
Nomad. Happy at anchor. Change of mind. I enjoyed the row ashore yesterday evening, good exercise. Rowing because the outboard needs attention, it has petrol coming out where it shouldn't. I'll stay in Faro awhile. The next good forecast for crossing the bay of Cadiz is Wed/Thur and the Gibraltar straits Sat/Sun. That's the plan. The weather is incredible, it's 21c here, 28c in Valencia. The big white birds that I saw on the shore coming in weren't storks, I don't know what they were, these are storks, there's loads of them here in the town centre. I bought oranges in the supermarket yesterday. What a fool! More storks. Sometimes they make a click clucking sound like the zombies in World War Z.
Good progress, how much further do you hope to get before your flight out of Malaga?
ReplyDeleteMy destination is a marina at Fuengirola and I want to get there asap because my sister is in Torremolinas for a month from tomorrow. But, the Gibraltar straits are a big problem, with today's forecast I won't be able to get through for another 10 days, so there seems to be no point in rushing anymore, I may as well enjoy it here in the Algarve.
DeleteLots of history there. I expect to be able to report fully.
