Portugal -
After a long, wet, cold and rough couple of days the sun came out and the wind died. We motored the last two days and become low on fuel short of our planned stop in Cascais. We stopped in a small fishing village called Peniche. The port smelled of fish and the fish in the seaside restaurant was excellent. It was a very quaint place but nice.
The next morning we set off to Cascais under motor again. Cascais is at the mouth of the river leading to Lisbon. It is very upscale and has a touristy element in its downtown seaside area. We are still awaiting our package from North Sail to clear Customs and then we will be on our way to the Canaries, about a 5 or 6 day run. The Canaries are off the coast of Morocco. While in port we installed fans in each room and added outlets where needed and had the diesel engines and generator serviced. We also stocked up on food and fuel for the next leg. The architecture here is a combination of the very old and very new. The sidewalks like the rest of Iberia are never just cement. They are always tiled or paved and usually with a pleasant design.
