Passage round Cabo Sao Vincente by JoJo

Passage from Sines Portugal round Cabo Sao Vincente to Sagres, October 2014

After spending a glorious four days in Sines, the north wind was back and ready to blow us round Cabo Sao Vincente.  This would take us onto the Algarve and would mark the first stage of our voyage, and our first decision point. Do we want to continue further south and then on to the Caribbean?

One day, a very long time ago now, about last Friday…

Stop! Stop! Stop! Sorry, that’s from Winnie the Pooh

About a couple of years ago, Mum, Lochlann, and I went down to Battery Rocks in Penzance with Dylan, a friend of ours, and his mum. The tide happened to be a spring low[1] and you could see all the boulders that were usually covered by the sea.
