Long way to Sines

We all got up at dawn to make the 60-mile trip from Sagres to Sines around Cape St Vincent. Several boats simultaneously upped their anchors and were off to make the most of a short window of not so strong winds to journey north. We left around 6.45 am, after giving Buzz a quick walk ashore and packing up the dinghy, and were in Sines at 6.15pm. The marina at Sines is friendly, inexpensive and the gateway to a lovely Portuguese small town. A couple of nights enabled us to do some washing eat some more sardines and meet a couple of Irish sailors who agreed to sail in company, leaving at 2am, to get to Cascais in another short break in the northerly trades.
