THURSDAY 25 OCTOBER 2007
We had a leisurely start, as we did not have too far to go, and left about 10.30 after a very cheap breakfast in a Portuguese café – 2.60 euros for two coffees and two croissants! We motor-sailed most of the way, apart from about an hour where we managed to sail.
Pavoa de Varzim is a new, friendly Marina – some of the buildings are still being finished- and seems a better option for visiting Oporto than Leixoes. When we arrived we met Diane, one of Roger’s sailing students, who is delivering a boat to the Canaries.
A café in Lisbon professes to make the best custard tarts in Portugal, so Roger is doing his own research to see if this is true. He had one this morning on the boat, and one this afternoon in a café after we’d been shopping. The one this morning was the best so far.
Jan and Tini, the dutch couple on Cocon are going to spend the winter here and we spent a pleasant evening catching up and having a meal on our boat.
