Arrived in Lagos
We concluded our Atlantic crossing with a pleasant 7 day passage from
Horta in the Azores to Lagos in Portugal yesterday morning. We had very good sailing conditions and had Common Sense sitting on a port tack for two days with the only variation being a short period of wing on wing before the winds shifted north again. Our final night crossing the top end of the TSS near Gibraltar was interesting and convinced me of the usefulness of AIS - not necessity, as we did it anyway but usefulness as it's cool to be able to call up a vessel by name when there's a flank of 4 coming at you. We rounded Cape St Vincent early yesterday and dipped our ensign in his honour as tradition requires. Lagos is cool looking place and we'll probably hang out here as a base for a month to explore the south of Spain and Portugal, plus get on the train here and head up to Lisbon for a visit. |
