PENICHE TO LISBON (BAY OF CASCAIS), 4th August

Leaving PENICHE early in the morning was straight forward. The port is on a prominent peninsula so once off the pontoon is was simply due South to Lisbon and the Targus River.

Wind was minimal and the swell was quite significant. Nevertheless we made good headway and entered the Targus River when the wind picked up to 20 Knots. We even managed to sail into the lovely bay of CASCAIS with only our mainsail.

Here we dropped the anchor and had a pleasant evening while we decided where our final port would be in the Lisbon area.
