Giles and Paula's Great Retirement Adventure

[Giles]

Middle of the night, middle of the bay, and bored......

13nm from land and I have 5G...

Track since Gib.......

@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 ....

@Giles great place! I can be model

[Giles]

1000nm done and well over half way home.....

[Daniel San]

Good luck for the second half
enjoy the amazing trip ! ️️

[Giles]

Well, what do you know. Turned up in Nazare, and it happens to be the The Euro 2023 Beach Handball finals here. I knew nothing about it of course........

@Giles Will you be anywhere near where people are surfing. I know it’s not the time of year for the giant waves,but still might be some great surfing to watch.

[Giles]

We'll be passing the beach at about 06:00 tomorrow.....

[A Former User]

@Giles nice! Btw G, if i may, do you make the photo’s with a camera or just your phone? Curiosity in me..

[Giles]

Phone. I have a camera (and drone), but my phone is always with me.....

The world is small… Players of my former club in Munich are in Nazare playing for Germanys women’s team. They just won their group stage, tomorrows the quarter final against Greece.

I personally never really got warm with playing the beach version, but I have to admit playing under the sun with the sea in your back is tempting haha.

[Giles]

How small the world is......

[Giles]

Set off an hour or so ago in the dark - so could not see the surf beach I am afraid @Jett129 , but we passed reasonably close and there was no significant swell.....I'm on first watch, and this is what my world looks like,,,

If you anchor up for the night does one of you have to be on watch at all times?
