Cloudy start again, but the sun came out, weather forecast good and we may well have chance of some usable wind.
So we were ready for a 1:00 push off, readied the new sick bucket now called Gordon.
Should be about 16 hours round to Villa Real, wait for the raising tide to get in as have little water and sand bars then anchor near to the bridge and wait for low tide.
We are 19 ½ metres, so should be able to get under the bridge, after extensive research, found out the bridge at high water is 20 metres and low is 23 metres and 18 metres carriageway.
Barry (Beleza) told us to look out for the red buoy and anchor near to there, and wait till you see 3 bands of colour showing on the middle leg. We should have no problems getting under.
