Ahoy,
the Ol' Girl and me have nearly had enough of Partying at Spanish Fiesta's but not quite. Each Marina to date has had some sort of bash. Of course I have tried to pace myself and not get too caught up in the revelry, maybe.
As Miguel the Harbour Master has allowed me to stay, Gratis so to speak, I have stayed a little longer than I first intended, it's time to move on though despite such a fantastic price.
I have a couple of options for my next Port, so I will decide on the way, either Viana Do Costelo or Povoa De Varzim.
Yesterday the local newspaper visited the Ol' Girl and me and seemed very interested in this nomadadventure and what I thought about the fireworks, I hope it makes copy.
The picture is of my Preventer MK1 eight loops of six millimeter bungee lashed together and a couple of shackles, on the other end of the lines are snap shackles. I will let you know if it works and if it does how well.
Some of the salt's round here have told me about strange Northerly winds that come upon you all of a sudden and with some force, sounds like, er......fun and time to play with the preventer.
Such winds are expected in a couple of days, I will see what the local sailors have to say about them once I am in Portugal.
