Weaving between Fish-net flags, by radar

A little after 10am we’re on our way to Leixoes. The marina is closed, we're informed. But it's supposed to be possible to anchor in or near the harbor. We hit a solid wall of fog right out of Viana, but manage to see the fish-net flags by radar at a very close range.

The fog lifts and we are in Leixoes harbor by about 5pm. Inside the breakwater we see Norwegian "Blue Marlin" anchored up along with six other boats. And soon we are also anchored, in about 5m of water.
A quick dinghy trip to the village hidden behind the big busy harbor reveals a little fortress, complete with moat and draw-bridge! And who lives there but the marine police!

Today we have repair number four (4!) on our new "North Sail" main sail.
Our brand-new, cruising main sail was ready just in the nick o' for the trip. We’ve already had to do some sewing on a broken slider which we replaced. Then the screws on the re-enforcement for the battens all came loose, after the Biscay crossing. Now, more sewing. This time a cloth-band, batten-located loosened from its slider.

So I sew and Ørnulf does salmon dinner. Then, unwind with "Blue Marlin".
