Today we sailed 27 miles from Cascais to Sesimbra. We had a great sail again in sunny weather. The Portuguese Nortada Trade winds are blowing consistantly, from 10 knots in the mornings and picking up to 20-30 knots on the afternoons. Nice for fast downwinders, but not so nice for fishing when Sephina is doing 7+ knots!
Sesimbra is halfway from Cascais to Sines so we decided to break the 60 mile leg into 2 shorter hops. Its a nice afternoon and we are protected from the wind and swell anchored just off the beach. The beach is busy with tourists and locals as its still school holiday time here and about 25 degrees. Jen and I are relaxing on board and watching the sunset with Balrog. Im not sure if this picture is because Jenijane wobbled the camera when she took it , or if it’s the moon through Balrog’s eyes. Either way its a beutiful pic!
