Figueira da Foz to Nazaré, Portugal

Caol Ila
Nauticat 43
Motored sailed, keeping inshore to avoid the Orcas😬 We receivied an alert on the Orcas Telegram alert system that a boat had been attacked about 2 hours previously about 6 miles from us in the direction we were headed. Too late to turn back and it’s likely they were heading past us anyway. All we could do was head further inshore into the big swell and less the 20 metres of water and hope for the best. Fortunately we didn’t see anything and are tied up in the very interesting town of Nazaré. We will hang out here for a few days waiting out the weather and planning the next stage.
