July 7th and 8th

After arriving in Lagos we cleaned the boat, attended the prize giving dinner and then bade fond farewell to all those who had been on the Rally. We all took a taxi to Faro and within a few hours we were back in London weather. It was wonderful to see the kids and Hester, and Grete and other family and friends. we made a flying visit to Melton to see the house that we had bought while we were away. In no time at all we were back on the plane, this time to Lisbon. After a straightforward bus rip we were back in Lagos. For the first few days the wind was strong and there was a swell outside the harbour, so we stayed put and explored the area. Yesterday Infinite Dream and ourselves went round the bay to Alvor for the night. We dried out as I had to change the anodes. We are now back waiting for Colin and Alison to arrive to join us.
