Sailed out from Portimao Algarve Portugal Friday night at 22.00 The wind was nothing before the morning, when it came from north. Next day it turned into W - S/W so we had to fall off about 30 degrees. That lasted the next 2 days with wind at 6-11 m/s 5 nights at sea and the last 2 days we got the wind from north west and we sailed with only the geneua with 6-8 knots. The Atlantic waves was like 6-7 meters from behind, so the boat was very much moving. To much to use the main sail stable.
We enjoyed the days, even if we had rain some times for two days.
Arrived the Puerto Calero at 08.30 yesterday Wednesday Oct. 6th. in cloudy weather.
David at the rudder.
And we had some beautiful sunsets

They are also having the world championship in the most extreme sailing class RC-44
at the Puerto Calero harbour. My friend Lasse Berthelsen from Fredrikstad Norway is a professional sailor, and is sailing on a Dutch boat. No Way Back
I had the pleasure to come out with them the first day we came.
