      @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. 🙂

                  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 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.

                                    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.

                                    Use it or lose it.

                                        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?

                                            the Coast Guard would not be happy about no night watch
