Up the river again.

Oh it's mighty good to be back on the water again! It was very good to see my daughters in England and to play with our granddaughter, but...

I found England too busy with too many cars, too many people, in too much of a hurry, too much gloom and doom coming out of the TV and the radio, and too much background music and noise. It also rained too much. Apart from that, it was OK.

We were met off the plane in Faro, and I kept wondering where all the people and cars had got to. Marvellous. After a peaceful night on the river, we came back upstream to Alcoutim/Sanlúcar to wait for the easterly winds to change into something more favourable so that we can explore further eastwards along the Spanish coast. Meantime we are doing lots of jobs on the boat using all the stuff we brought back with us.
