The fall has arrived now. Crispy and cold at night. 7-9 C in the morning a few days in a row. we're still comfy during the night under our covers in the V-berth so the diesel heater is still waitng for the real winter to come(?).

A month to Christmas, tomorrow the Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving. We are 'celebrating' 3 weeks at anchor here. It's amazing how fast time goes. We got a good news today. Mike, the Sailmaker came back and payed us a visit in t´´his little RIB to do some measuring for the Sprayhood. He will come back with a quotation tonight or tomorrow.

Fine! Ferragudo is a charming little town and we have enjoyed our stay. That said, we are getting a bit itchy to get uner sail again, if only for 30 miles to Olhao/Culatra. One of the beauties of cruising is to be able to get a new view from the 'living-room window' whenever one wishes to.

Had a 'paseo' - a walk - on the dock as usual. the local fishermen are mending there nets and pots every morning and their capture is sold at the local market together with very fresh vegetables and fruit. All at very competitive prices compared to France or Sweden.

This is a very nice spot for a few weeks for sailors who choose to spend a winter season here before turning 'left' to the Meditteranean or 'right' for the Canaries
