Arrival in Portugal

24 April 2022 | Caiscas, Portugal
Steven Cowart
Another long 2-night sail down the coast of Portugal and arrived in Cascais, Portugal. This is the wealthiest area of Portugal and the area shows it. We are just outside of Lisbon and have had some beautiful weather. There are numerous fantastic restaurants right by the marina within a 5 minute walk. Although the marina is somewhat expensive, the food is surprisingly inexpensive.
Far better meals and seafood than we found in France.

After staying 5 nights in the marina, we anchored in the bay close by for two days and nights to get used to anchoring and using the dingy to get to town. Very simple and easy I am really getting things working the way I like it.

I still have a few minor projects going inside the boat, so some tools spread out. I hope to finish up and get some things put away so I can take some pictures of the interior.

We also have used the new exterior electric grill a few times and it was fantastic.
