Still in Garrucha

 

The wind was against our plans today. It blew Easterly and we want to sail East. No point having head on wind, head on sea and motoring as well. We'll leave on Thursday as the wind is set easterly tomorrow as well. had a relaxing day in the sun and went for a long walk tonight.
