^Good to hear, hoping for a less "eventful" rest of the journey.

Glad you have no damage G&P. Safe travels - no doubt Vessel Finder is seeing a significant uptick on Sakura tracking just now.
We’re all onboard with you!

@Giles what are you eating on the boat during the journey thus far? are you shopping markets at each stop? eating at restaurants? scrambled eggs? canned tuna? Fresh Orca?

[Giles]

Eat at restaurants when we can or if they look good. We have a very decent galley. See below.

Breakfasts are usually fruit, yoghurt, muesli, toast cheese, meats....Lunch, a subset of the brekkie. Dinner is salad or pasta of some sort. Overnight stuff is chocolate, chocolate, nuts and more chocolate....

This is indeed the good life.
Cheers @Giles ️

@Giles Do a hard right wait two minutes and the pull a hard left…tell everyone you were just checking the integrity of the rudder.

[Giles]

[Matt]

How about some skinny dipping.

[Mizmazzle]

5G!!? I just hope you can catch the Nuggets bring it to the Miami Heat in their first ever NBA finals!!! You may need to find a port of call!!!

[Giles]

A day of relaxation, sightseeing on the River Tagus. Paula is taking the relaxing bit very seriously....

[Twistlock]

Come on, you are running a pleasure craft

[Giles]

Most of the buildings on the south bank of the River Tagus, opposite Lisbon, are now derelict, I am assuming victims of containerisation. What a great place for a photo shoot...@Alex ....
