Viana do Castelo - Lisboa (or "the satelite-phone works!!!)

So we found Lisboa, and sailed past the whole coast off portugal in one go. Only seeing some forrestfires and lights from the cities as we passed. Our visitors came and we now both have an owen for the stove and a satelite-phone that works. Nice to have it fixed before we sail out in the big Atlantic ocean.



Lisboa is a great city and we have spent some days absorbing the atmosphere here. We´ve also met some other norwegian sailors and they are all anchoring just outside the city in Cascais so we plan to sail out there today with our visitors and join the sailing-getto.

After some days in Cascais we plan to head for Porto Santo, the island next to Madeira. It´s five days sailing from Lisboa.

The sun is shining and life does still treat us well. Especially now that we think we´ve found summer.

A special thanks goes to Carlos in Lisboa who drove us around in Lisboa and found everything we were looking for. He even found a new plate for our windfane, and it was free! He´s highly recomended.
