Algarve - Alvor










…. And now we find ourselves in the Algarve. Full on tourist destination. The place we are anchored is based on an old small fishing port




Not too painful at all. In fact we have become grockles, while we wait for the parts to arrive to fix the new, but newly broken roller-furler.

Had a reasonable sail down here from Porto, losing the wind for the last 30 or so miles, but out of 300, I guess that’s not too bad. We are currently anchored in a lagoon at Alvor, where we hope not to hit the bottom, as it gets pretty shallow at low tide.

Had a beach day today, so reading and sunburn are the fashionable things to do. Took some photos of beach vistas and the sunset back on Lusty Wench – The photos show the lighthouse at Cape St Vincent - the SW corner of Portugal, and the sunsets mentioned, and the beach.
