A genaker sail in light winds to Cascais

Having an unused genaker sail down in “Babette’s” lockers, ever since we bought the boat four years ago, we decide that today is the day to try it out.

It works. And very well in the light following winds.

At 18:30 we enter the Cascais harbor. A big, modern marina, 27 euro s/night for our 32´boat. "Old" sailing pals, English "Sarah Grace" and Swedish, "Grace" and "Regina" are on the same pontoon.

Very homey.
