Boran's Notes
After 3 nights on anchor at Cascais, groceries shopping, delicious Acai and some boat maintenance, we set off to Algarve.
Perfect wind from behind, so we sailed a large gybe between coast and the cargo shipping lanes.
Arriving at Cordoama with big swell from West. Anchoring was safe but very much in vertical motion.
We deemed that beaching the dinghy, between breaking surfer waves, would not be safe and so we skipped paragliding in the dunes.
Encounters
Saw 2 large, distinctive back fins out of Cascais. Not sure what species, though.
