Tuesday 14th of May. Still in Ayamonte. Held here by strong winds.

Yesterday in Ayamonte, another celebration but I couldn't find out what it was of.

    Ascension would have been two weeks ago, so not that. Perhaps we should learn from our iberian cousins, and have a few more reasons to dress up and have a party. Although I can't see the point of bank holidays anymore 🤣

    Found some really helpful advice about what to do if you encounter killer Orca's Brendan....

    taken from todays Telegraph https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/05/14/killer-whales-orcas-sink-yacht-couple-rescued-gibraltar/

    'In the event of an incident, sailors have been advised to keep motors running and head for shallower coastal waters.'...

    just in case you were tempted to cut the engine and head out to deeper sea😜! (Glad you've passed Gibraltar all the same)

      Thanks Carmel but I think the best advice is to keep your fingers crossed.

    Tavira is a lovely place to visit Bren... at least it was 30 years ago.

Friday 14th November. Cascais marina.

Forced into the marina in the early hours by the weather I have booked in here until Sunday. I really wanted to avoid this place because of scary stories about the prices they charge (the king has/had his boat here). But €25 a night is not too bad and they didn't charge me for last night/this morning, some would. I'm not sure that I would have been able to get further upriver against the wind anyway. It looks like I'm going to be here until Wednesday.
