.... because it looks like this outside and Calypso is being hammered against the pontoon. After a great night playing pool at the local, the wind started in the early hours and doesn't look like letting up for the day.
We have every fender out and anything flappable on deck tucked away - it's still more comfortable sitting in Luis' cafe than being on the boat.
Still, this is the first day we've had poor weather - the past week has been mild and sunny with virtually zero wind. It's almost December after all, so I'm not surprised things are getting a bit ugly out there.
A lot of progress this week on extending the aft deck boxes as we're still waiting for our backstay components to arrive from the UK. There's still a few other jobs to do as well (winch bases being re-made, shortening a steering column, etc) but we should be good to get out of Nazare at the end of the month (IF the parts arrive this week)....
Sunnier update to follow.
