Jubilate Mare - Jubilate Mare has made it to Portugal!

Thought it was about time I put pen to paper - well finger to screen! I can't believe how time has flown and miles been motored - not much wind so sailing hasn't really been an option. We are having a cracking time, great crew and fun fleet friends. We will (between us) attempt to make regular contributions, regarding our progress, for the rest of the Rally.

We arrived in Porto today and had an electric tuk tuk tour of the city followed by a visit to a port house. Fleet supper tonight at a local restaurant and a 'fun and games' day is being organised for tomorrow.

The sun is seriously hot, though I don't think it's quite as hot as you are experiencing in England! Boat is staying nice and cool, with a through draught, and days just melt one into the other.

We sighted daily dolphins on our passage across the Bay of Biscay and the crew saw a porpoise as I snoozed on the entry today.

Time for a short rest now before dinner. I will write more tomorrow - well, at least that is the intention. 🐝 x
