Live Update: December 7, 2022 (Patreon)

Hi guys! 

We made it to Lagos! We think we got in on Sunday. I just asked Mads, and he can't remember either. These past few days have melded together. As we mentioned in the video, we don't have any good weather windows this week to jump to the canaries. This is a shame because Mads parents are flying into Tenerife on December 10th to spend Christmas with us. Unless the weather completely turns and we put a jet engine on Athena, we will not make it by then. But you know what they say about sailing and plans! Hopefully, we can get a weather window next week, and we'll be able to catch them towards the end of their trip. Fingers crossed!

On another note, it is pouring here, which gives us (well, Mads doesn't need an excuse), but it gives me an excellent excuse to get jobs done aboard Athena. I'm still finishing up a few organization things, like sewing curtains and making more cubes for the lockers.

The sun was out yesterday, so I went out and checked out the town. I'm going to attempt to make the Portuguese pastry Pastel de Nata (we've become addicted), so I checked out the local fresh fruit and fish market in the town center for some supplies. Very cool place. Although it looks intimidating, I might have to attempt to make something with the salted fish next! 

Sorry guys, I don't have a lot of photos this week, but I'll give ya what I got. Two rainbows and our tiny Christmas tree before the lights broke (that I'll probably have to put away again on our trip to the Canaries!)
