| A Dutch hazard |
I should not really have titled the previous post as it is because we were not actually off Ferragudo but we are now. A bit of a wind blew up last night and our Dutch neighbour whom we were well clear of when we anchored, ended up rather close by. We let out more chain in the wind and rain and that was just enough to make us feel sufficiently comfortable to turn in for the night.
This morning however we decided to move and after some delicate manoeuvring to get our anchor up without fouling our Dutch neighbour, we motored further up the river to anchor off the acual town of Ferragudo - described by in the Pilot book as "the gem of the region" and so a trip ashore will be made later.

Whilst writing the above, a chap in a dinghy passed by and hailed us. He came alongside for a chat. Turned out he knew Bonny and her previous owners - Gavin and Geraldine who have now moved inland to the mountains north of Lisbon. Peter was his name, from the yacht Solera - a Nicholson 38 anchored in the main Anchorage that we had just left. He had come up the river to collect a new Dinghy from the Chandlery.
