Blaze is shown here, nose to nose with the Ericsson round-the-world racing yacht, a perfect Swan-72 on the port side, and an elegant new schooner built in the old tradition across our gangway. We got personal tours and met some new friends on board the Ericsson and the schooner. You can't see it in this photo, but the marina butts up to an old and very large castle wall. Unfortunately, the inside of the castle has been modernized (we got a peek inside our first night as they were clearing out sound equipment that may have supported a rock concert) and not very interesting. Cascais was beautiful.

This beautiful and fashionable lighthouse is located over the sea wall from the Cascais, Portugal marina. It is in splendid company, surrounded by elegant resort hotels on this tiny cove. We dinghied our way into this tiny inlet and were rewarded with a glimpse of a 10-inch jelly fish (note the short, fat tentacles.)

Brendan was the first to see the dolphins...and got some GREAT video footage...and later porpoise too.

Brendan found that he could maximize his exposure on the flybridge...nice picture of the flag and solar panels, also.

We came upon a shoreline market where rows of fish, sliced open and splayed inside out, were drying on wooden structures on the sand...especially colorful with the contrasting hues of the flies and seagulls.
