Portimao, Portugal
A shaded cockpit protects us as we sit, drinks in hand, watching weekend traffic at the marina. The BC is in vinho heaven with prices even on the continent in the $3 a bottle range for her favourite tipple. My beer is poured from a litre bottle of SuperBock into a glass I stole (along with Randy of Babykiller Bee fame) from a bar in Greenwich Village a couple of years ago.
It is warm and we have just returned from the grocery store.
Today we completed arrangements for replacement parts to the boat and now have no gainful employment. Maybe tomorrow I will work on the boat.
Dinner is in two hours with Dennis and Cheryl aboard the only other Cabo Rico 38 in Europe, it moored by purest chance only two slips away from us here at the marina. Not a big fan of coincidence or other quasi religious experience I wonder at this.
Here and now we have time to spend on such weighty problems.
Aaaaaaahhhhh.

Glad you made it safely to the mainland! You have dashed any thoughts of a trans atlantic sailing by Kinvara!
OhLaLa, glad to know you are all safe in Portimao - we too experienced similar weather on the crossing but thankfully only two days worth. Let us know what your plans are, we are now in La Linea setting sail later this week for Almeria. FYI - La Linea is 12.00E per night - inclusive and very nice - 10 minute walk to Gibraltor and only 5 minutes to La Linea cafe's and markets - well worth a stop.

p.s. Connie, bring green wine with you - none here in Spain!
