We had a leisurely breackfast in Sagres before pulling the anchor and having a fun sail along the coast in flat water to Lagos - Sarah helmed all the way and coped really well with the gusty conditions. After months of being in the swell of the Atlantic Andrew and I were delighted to be in the Algarve even though we could see high rises on the horizon.....

We got a great berth at Lagos in what we have called Oyster ally as there are 6 other Oysters all around us. We asked Rui one of the marineros where we should eat for Fish for Sarah's last night - surprisingly (not) his brother had a restaurant so that's where we went and we totally treated, including getting to sample grandmas homemade fig desert and local moonshine called Medronho, which is a fruit brandy not commercialyl made, it was surprisingly delicious. It is apparently an honour to share with friends and cannot be bought.

| Sarah's off back to Lisbon -6.30am!! |
Sarah left us early the next morning - the train station is just behind the marina so it's very handy.
Now onto boat jobs and a bit of exploring before the next visit - Andrew's son James arrives at the end of the week.
