Lazy days at the Puerto Calero harbour

We have been 10 days in the Puerto Calero harbour, and only been out sailing once. took a day trip to the south coast called Playa Blanca.  Ankered, had a swim in the beautiful clean and warm water. Then we had a real cheese crackers and port wine lunch.
Had a nice sail wind back to the harbour. Now my friends Finn and Terje is leaving on Sunday morning. Finn from Greve Copenhagen has been on board since Omø in Denmark, 2 months. Terje came to Portimao Algarve 3 weeks ago, and was planning to stay at the most one week.  Well, sailing is sailing. You never know for sure when you will arrive the next destination.



The day after, at Monday I was invited out on a VIP boat to watch the match racing world championship in the RC44 class. Lasse knew the people in charge. Normaly it would cost 500 euro. I was treated like an VIP with fine food, fruit, wine and beer. The 25 meter luxus yacht in 3 floors was beautiful.  I nice experience. I also got to ride on the Slovenien boat Ceeref steered by the earlier Olympic champion in class 'Soling' and 'Star 8' from New Zealand.  Rod Davis.  cooool.


The local Team Calero. The family owns everything you can see around of land,
including the harbour and hotels.
.
Now I will be by myself (looks like) before Synnøve, Per Olav, Nina and Finn from Fredrikstad arrives Nov. 6th. for one week sailing between the islands.
The Atlantic crew will start arriving Nov. 13th. when Charles and Franzisca from Switzerland, and Christian from Copenhagen comes.  Jonas from Gothenburg Sweden will arrive Nov. 17th. and Calle from Hemsedal Norway will probably catch up with us in Las Plamas the day before we head S/W towards St. Lucia Caribbean.
