Afloat again!

In the Doca de Alcantara in Lisbon.

In the Doca de Alcantara in Lisbon.

SeaBelow is back in her element and we are now in the Marina Doca de Alcantara or also known as Doca dos Espanhol. We were first at the Marina Parque dos Nacoes at the former Expo area of the 1998 Expo. There it was very nice and quiet, here in the Alcantara we are closer to the ship chandlers and the like, so I could do some shopping today, e.g. equipping the boats pharmacy. Besides that we are exploring Lisbon, went out for dinner in the Barrio Alto and attended a walking tour on street art and thus learned a bit about Portuguese history, e.g. that this year it is the 40th anniversery of the (peaceful) revolution which brought down the Salazar-regime. Many street art and murals were newly made this year commemorating the revolution. We are now waiting for Maria to arrive and for a good wind to sail to Madeira. It might take a few more days until we get the stable north wind for that.
