So far, it has been too strong, often over 20 knots of wind. Unfortunately,  always this led to higher swells of around 2 metres. Certainly, it may be nice for larger yachts to sail, and they can make fast progress with a backstay breeze. However, for us, it is nothing. Therefore, I waited until only 1 to 1.5 m seas forecast. On 4 July, the time had come.

If you look closely, you can&#8217;t see a grain of sand on the northern side (right), but on the southern (left). The Portuguese simply don&#8217;t give away any of their sand. From here on, a narrow strip of dunes stretched southwards, endless deserted beaches. And something else stood out: the houses were all consistently painted white or light with red tiled roofs, almost without exception. I could see this from a good two nautical miles out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, Viana do Castelo was only a port of passage; lying in the river is somewhat uncomfortable with strong currents and swells. There is a constant creaking in the lines. But I was already able to gain first impressions of the Portuguese lifestyle. The Portuguese have style, I&#8217;ll have to elaborate on that at some point, it just came to me spontaneously. This refers to clothing, but also to behaviour and charisma. And they all like to chat nicely. I like this language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"759\" height=\"1024\"

boat, the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it is not easy to put the boat ashore quickly, but only I had to wait a few days for an appointment for the travel lift. I had bad luck with the paints (primer, antifouling, thinner and clear varnish), the service company was willing to get them for me. Nevertheless, when nothing was in stock in Spain (Vigo) either, I took matters into my own hands. Quickly, I ordered everything in Bremen and hoped that the DHL delivery time would not be too long. Fortunately, only it took 6 days, amica was already on land. The official delivery time was 9 days, but after five day the first delivery was made from postage. The good man just couldn&#8217;t find the Rece\u00e7\u00e3o by all the numerous masts and took the package back to Porto, but the next morning it was arriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 15 months in water, I was curious to see, what it looked like underneath the boat. So amica came ashore and I let the underwater hull professionally clean. Well, I can do that just as well, of course, but I didn&#8217;t feel like it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"P\u00f3voa-Travellift\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990689891?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"P\u00f3voa-Travel\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990688449?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The decisive moment, it doesn&#8217;t look so bad after all.

The colour is not so be the favourite for orcas, they rather love dark boats. At the end it became three to four coats, the paint must be used up. I&#8217;m sure the effect will be work at last until the end of 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used the days ashore to clean and polish the hull and to give all the natural wood parts a new coat of varnish.

Really, they have a heat problem here. In Lisbon, for a few days, the temperature was over 40 degrees. In Porto, too, it was always over 35 degrees. Only on the coast did it barely get above 30 degrees. It cooled down a lot at night. Here, the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean is only by 15 degrees. My feet were in the water, but it was too cold for me to dive in completely, even though the air temperatures were inviting. Unfortunately, the excursions to Porto cancelled; neither from P\u00f3voa de Varzim nor from Leix\u00f5es did I dare to go to Porto. In the coastal harbours, you can still walk around until 12 o&#8217;clock, only the sun is annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more thing I have to tell, because I noticed it while inspecting the underwater ship on dry land in P\u00f3voa. Do you remember the short report about the aborted approach to Suances in northern Spain? I had to manage a 180-degree turn while surfing the wave, and it worked, but with an extreme lean. At that time, I was already afraid that the pressure on the rudder was too heavy. Yes, and in P\u00f3voa I could see that the rudderstock slightly bent. The rudder is about half a hand&#8217;s width from the middle at the lower end. This is more of an optical problem, because the amica still steers very well. Aesthetics underwater no further interest to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About the port of Leix\u00f5es or Matosinhos\/Le\u00e7a da Palmeira is not much to say. It is the industrial port for Porto, container terminals, a large fishing industry and the surrounding area is in a state of upheaval, similar to P\u00f3voa, although even more so with abandoned houses exposed to decay. Here in the north of Portugal, money will be earned with industry and commerce, and that doesn&#8217;t always look nice. The tourist beach strips cannot hide this fact. The average income in the Algarve, the tourist hotspot, is the lowest in mainland Portugal. There is probably no money to be made from tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can rely on the Nortada, the north wind. In the morning, it is usually calm, which allows the temperatures to rise slowly until around noon. Then the cool north wind comes and provides a pleasant climate for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl1-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl1.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the beach, it sometimes looks like this when the 2 m swell is running then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl2-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl2.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The red flag is visible and no one goes into the water here either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"816\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl3.jpg 816w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Atl3-624x468.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 816px) 100vw, 816px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also look quite pleasant, but they have only set the bathing flag to yellow.

The next morning there was once again real fog with visibility around 50 metres. Nevertheless, I set off for Figueira da Foz shortly after eight. The swell was supposed to increase to 2 m towards evening, and I didn&#8217;t want to experience that. A foggy trip in a calm, as is usual here in the north. With a distance of one nautical mile from the coast and a water depth of 15 m, I saw nothing but water. Only the increasing swell was spooky, because I couldn&#8217;t estimate any height due to the non-existent horizon. Shortly before reaching the harbour entrance to Figueira, the fog lifted, and I was able to sail into the harbour without any problems. They have a great Receca\u00f5 here with a great reporting pontoon. The only thing is that no one is present, despite official office hours, which is something you have to get used to here in Portugal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sunday, 27 August<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oeiras<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relatively quick, I sailed the 145 nautical miles from Figueira da Foz to here shortly before Lisbon. Unfortunately, the sails had to stay packed up most of the time. Fog without wind, sun without wind and simply no wind seem to be normal on the Portuguese coast. Nevertheless, occasionally I was able to sail partial stretches. The consumption for the distance of a good 25 litres of petrol is extremely economical, or as a curious person from the Policia maritima put it, quite effective. On their inflatable boats with 2 times 200 horsepower, the petrol just runs through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fig.Foz, as called for short, is an old seaside resort. I took a closer look with a visit to the beach mile. There is an impressively wide beach with a lot of foreshore, on which, apart from the necessary planting, many leisure activities attract visitors. Due to the high temperatures, it looked empty there, only directly at the waterfront there was a lot going on. People from Portugal and Spain are probably the main groups of tourists here, although French voices be heard from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozhotel1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozhotel1.jpg 737w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozhotel1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozhotel1-624x415.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The old Grandhotel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand1-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand1.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A wide foreshore to the beach<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand2-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozstrand2.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A children&#8217;s pool, because here they don&#8217;t let children in the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle1-1536x1021.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle1-2048x1361.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle1-624x415.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The waves on the beach are not sneezed at, shortly before breaking,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle2-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Figfozwelle2.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>and shortly after<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The harbour was more international, with a number of German, French and English yachtsman.

However, there was not much going on in most areas. The tourist area in Fig.Foz is a little further away, towards the beach. Directly at the harbour, you are almost in the old centre of Figueira with the Mercado Municipal: no end of fish, vegetables and finally a baker, not always just these pastelarias with rather sweet cakes. Normally I have to buy bread in the supermarket here, because there are hardly found any bakeries (padarias), and if there are, they only have bread rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The river Mondego comes down from Coimbra and the train also goes there. I chose the right, the cooler day to visit Coimbra, because it is home to one of the oldest universities in Europe, founded towards the end of the 13th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, I found the train journey very interesting, as you pass through an abandoned landscape with ruins, where hardly anything is cultivated in the fields. This is the other Portugal that I don&#8217;t want to overlook. Although I could already see the changes and the problems associated with them in some ports, here it is a step more violent. After Coimbra, the picture changes, typical suburbs as you know them from everywhere in Europe. This ist he place, where money is home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Uni Coimbra\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990703242?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An impressive university<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Universidade.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Universidade.jpg 512w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Universidade-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt at home here right away<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"612\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Coimbra-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Coimbra-1.jpg 612w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Coimbra-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The student quarter with many exciting alleys<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rio Mondego\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990697159?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The university is located on a hill and from there you have a wonderful view of the valley of the Rio Mondego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could have a look at Coimbra for days, but amica is in Figueira and I want to continue my travel down the coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Meine Freunde\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990681904?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way to Nazar\u00e9, my friends the dolphins visited me once again. After seeing their behaviour, I am almost certain that I spotted an orca on the fog tour from Aveiro to Figueira da Foz. The fin, in fact, dragged along the surface of the water for quite a while, almost like sharks do. I don&#8217;t think the common dolphin \u2013 the delphinus delphis \u2013 does this, it only ever surfaces briefly and usually jumps at the same time. The orca \u2013 the orcinus orca \u2013 is more leisurely. By the way, orcas also belong to the dolphin family and dolphins only want to play. Stupid when a 5-ton orca wants to play with a sailboat, of all things. It was difficult to observe this event more closely because I was sailing on the 15-metre line and the happening was quite far out in the deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nazare\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990683502?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Entering Nazar\u00e9, the famous rock also comes into view on the left.

I stayed in Peniche for one day, actually I wanted to stay longer. But there was no sheltered berth for me, I had to moor on the outside of the pontoon, the swell in this harbour is heavy, sleeping was hardly possible.

Around 10 a.m. I set the mainsail to protect myself from the sun, but it didn&#8217;t help for sailing at that point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Praia das Macas\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990694919?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the way to the last point, Praia das Ma\u00e7as. Slowly, a NW with up to 8 knots set in. As a precaution, I changed from main to jib, because the wind was coming from astern. I had been warned about the south side of this cap, where strong gusts were supposed to come down from Cabo da Roca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cabo da Roca\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/990678352?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The westernmost point of continental Europe, Cabo da Roca, amica reached longitude 9\u00b0 30.5&#8242;. The Romans were probably not here (no finis terrae), because today this point is officially designated as the place where Europe ends. From now on, the route heads east again, well, and quite a bit south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after the point, the wind freshened from 8 knots to over 25 knots. After I saw the forestay coming a bit loose due to the pressure in the jib (only 10 square metres!), I recovered it in a lightning action. Just under top and rig, I was still on 4 knots! Nevertheless, I put the engine on to help me get safely around Cabo Raso. Shortly after rounding the Cabo, the wind decreasing extremely. In sight of Cascais there was a lull again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cascais is known for being extremely expensive, and I knew I would have to sail 5 nautical miles further to Oeiras the next day. Besides, everything here in Cascais was a bit too big for me and the place wasn&#8217;t very nice either, everything was very touristy, pubs and restaurants without end. If you like it that way, please, I like it more manageable. And this is how it is in Oeiras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6 September 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parque das Nac\u00f5es<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days ago I set off on the last trip to Lisbon, it&#8217;s not supposed to be warm there any more, that is, not over 30 degrees. I&#8217;m going to leave the boat here for a while to take a holiday from life on board with Barbara. The harbour is wonderfully suitable for this, well guarded and well protected, and the price is okay. Therefore, I booked myself in for a month. It&#8217;s not clear whether I&#8217;ll stay that long, but three weeks for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tour to the Marina Parque das Nac\u00f5es went along Lisbon&#8217;s south coast. Lisbon looks very beautiful from the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oeiras-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3592\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oeiras-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oeiras-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oeiras-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oeiras-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Oeiras.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A last view of Oeiras<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Praias-da-cidada-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3595\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Praias-da-cidada-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Praias-da-cidada-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Praias-da-cidada-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Praias-da-cidada-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Praias-da-cidada.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>City Beaches in Lisbon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Estadio-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Estadio-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Estadio-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Estadio-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Estadio-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Estadio.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Est\u00e1dio Nacional do Jamor, an ageing football stadium.

Somehow, it still seems Portuguese to me, which may be due to the recurring yellow colour and the filigree structure. Well, the theme of the Expo was a Portugal-related theme anyway, but actually for all of us: The Oceans: A Legacy for the Future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3589\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-1-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-1.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-2-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Casas-2.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Architecture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arvores-1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arvores-1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arvores-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arvores-1-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arvores-1-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/arvores-1.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Arvores-2-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Arvores-2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Arvores-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Arvores-2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Arvores-2-624x415.jpg 624w, https:\/\/waarschip-725-auf-langer-fahrt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Arvores-2.jpg 1228w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Plants, grown tall<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now I&#8217;m taking a break from sailing and life on board.
