Nazare, Portugal 6.10.2014
Today we hoist the boat up at the dock here. The winter is com
ing and the weather is turning to more unstable. The daylight is shorter than night hours. Sailing with the fishnets along the black night is not a pleasure. We´ll have some 4 days to Cabo de San Vicente. We come back around X-mas time and see how the weather is, latest in the beginning of march we start towards the Madeira and Canaries.
I said to myself that we are not sailing near the Nazare coast because of the huge ocean swell that is prominent here under the winter months. But, but here we are. Nice people at the boatyard recommendet by a yacht name DOM in one Baltic harbour. Also some other sailors recommended this harbour if you are going to make some service.

I remember once in the River Rhine. I said to my friend that The Rhine is huge and dangerous so we don´t sail in the night time. The first night we were eating a good onion soup in the French side of the huge river Rhein.
Here also the swell is big but as soon as you get out of the coast to the Atlantic ocean i´ts a normal wave.
The Atlantic has a deep tongue just here and the cabo at the lighthouse breaks the waters to huge brakers.
