Saturday 8th of June. Anchored in Cascais.
Creepy caves at Cape Espichel. In 1755, Lisbon was destroyed by an earthquake and tsunami.

Thursday 6th of June. Sesimbra anchorage.
The marina is full so I am anchored outside, off a very popular beach. Palacio de Comenda. Where (someone has said) Jacquie Onassis stayed while grieving the death of JFK. Impressive cliffs of the Arrabida national park.
Sunday 2nd of June. Sines anchorage.
Sines is bigger and looks more interesting than I had expected. Vasco de Gama was born here. I might book into the marina, I don't have to be in Lisbon until the 16th. Cape St Vincent in the morning. Promised winds never arrived and it ended up being 15 hours of motoring to Sines. Ive woken to find that I'm anchored underneath a castle.
Saturday 1st of June. Sagres anchorage.
Unreliable forecasts, disappointing winds, unpleasant swell and motored all the way. Hoping for better tomorrow.
