Anchors were up by around 10:30utc and using only the genoa made 5-6 knots all the way (25nm) to Sesimbra anchorage, a very lazy sail with ‘Heidi’ doing 90% of the helming. Again we sailed all the way only having to turn on the motor to drop the anchor.
The wind had been a gusty 11-16 knots all day until we rounded the headland on the last straight to Sesimbra where exactly as described by the pilot book the local winds increased to 24 knots.
With the anchor in the ground we had a celebratory beer on Niels boat (it’s always Niels boat for some reason?) Bruce had cooked one of his concoctions and was joined by Niels for dinner. Dave and I rowed ashore the immaculate beach to fire up the bbq once again. We were joined by a dog (we named Brian, after the Brian of Cascais).

Dave is starting to feel like a real ‘traveller’ and even jumped overboard to wash his hair despite the cold water - we might make a sea pikey out of him yet!
