...and here are some pics from our stay in Lisbon (hiding from hurricane Natalie)

Collecting rocks at Ursa beach West of Lisbon . Gerald became our most frequent quest by visiting Kiwi already the second time.

Anchoring in Lisbon and waiting for storms and calms to pass were very social. There was barbeque or drinks to join in one of the boats every evening. We also got to know some exotic cruisers in our age (a typical cruiser is well retired [nothing wrong with that : )]), which was refresing. In the picture we are anchoring longside (!) with s/y Princess Mia with Martin who helped us to weld Kiwi's anchor chain. The chain had started to be rather symbolic in places. We also made the chain longer to be able to easier anchor in deep (20 m) anchorages.

Drying soaked shoes at the Westernmost point of mainland Europe.  Capo da Roca that is. The best thing to do while outwaiting a storm is to go biking, right?

Our closest nabour in the anchorage in Tejo River was an abandoned submarine

Sailing in Lisbon river

Nerdy or not, but Lisbon aquarium was visited by the Kiwians three times (!) during the last weeks. The picture feautures Philipp's new power animal The Moon Fish. This rock like freek fish has been observed in real life several times since we arrived to Iberia. Talking about power animals; Sigrid: Gerald says thar hermit crabs are not living in solitude and that they eat extrements.
