12 July 2010 | Cascais to Sesimbra and Sines
Friday 9th July
Now Kathryn what do you think. Sarnie or harmonica playing?......
Long sail to Cascais. 60 miles (almost a channel crossing). Typical Portugese sailing day. Nice breeze in the morning, then dropping to return big styley in the late afternoon. Surfed into Cascais at 8 knots.... Draughty anchorage blowing down from the hills...
Saturday 10th July (thinking of Sarah, Kenny & Tia on their big day x)
Lay day in Cascais. 32 degrees on land phew!. More affluent town with arty shops and street cafes. 6:5 to Wilson!
Sunday 11th July
Broad reach and a run all the way to Sesimbra. Aimed for an Arrabida anchorage nearby which was delightful but not sheltered so motored back to marina. Saw schools of large fish just below the surface but going too fast to catch them. Built up resort with old fortification on hilltop above. Hot footed it to town and sat down in restaurant just as the whistle blew for the World Cup Final. Joined the boisterous, friendly Spanish supporters. A delicious meal and the best team won.
Monday 12th July
Beautiful beam reach sail with only 1m swell and not a fluffy wisp in site. Wunderbar! 30 miles to Sines (pronounced Cinch) Birthplace of Vasco Da Gama. followed 20 miles of solid sand dunes.Industrial port but pretty inner harbour by the town with man- made uncrowded beaches. Very sheltered.
