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

        ...Here's an article about the Orca attacks....

        https://www.washingtonpost.com/science/2023/05/21/orca-killer-whale-boat-attacks/

        In the article’s comments: “This is orca-nized crime”🤦‍♂️

        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?

                    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....

                                      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 ....
