Sunday 26th November. Oeiras marina.
I've never seen a jellyfish like this one before. The river is full of them.
Friday 24th November. Peniche.
The island of Berlenga. Photo taken from Peniche lighthouse. Apparently there is a beautiful anchorage on this island, I wish I had time to explore. Peniche is also a very nice place and I would like to stay longer (not least because the monthly rate works out at 5 euros per night and that includes electricity). But I have early morning flights to get from Lisbon and the bus service from here doesn't leave early enough. I have to leave tomorrow, it's the only favourable day on the forecast.
That is going to be one delicious sleep....
ReplyDeleteFelicidades !!
ReplyDeleteWas amazed when I heard you had sailed some (?most) of that last leg. Is that why the route goes a little zigzaggy? Were you 'tacking' (conjures up alarming memories of crossing over that time back from Rotterdam!🤢🤮🤮to the nth degree!
ReplyDeleteYes, and it was nearly as arduous as that Rotterdam crossing, my automatic tiller pilot went on the blink, that's £500 and it's only 18 months old. My bow spent so much time buried in waves that my nav lights packed up. I can't blame the forecast, it was spot on, it just didn't account for my wishful thinking that it might not be so bad.
