The fading sun last night
It is early Saturday morning outside Leixoes with already some activity in the harbour, what about the Portuguese dock strike, and early morning runners and dog walkers on the beach. It is only one week ago since I frenetically tried to find the right sail and getting the heavy thing with me on two airplanes to the boat. It feels like another world.
We are rocking in the ocean swell on otherwise a very calm day. Queen's Ransom is back on main land Europe after having visited two African harbours and five Atlantic Islands during the last six months. It is a relief to have her back within reach of her home country.
