It’s not always dry.

It’s not always warm.

The beaches are devoid of life.

Moody sunsets.

The cranes point to an industrial past.

It’s not only Seville which is famous for its oranges.

Iain is sold by the leaves.

Portimão Marmalade.

Does this make Iain an Orlock dweller.

That little green light could stop us from sinking.

Even the best hose clips in the world need the occasional TLC.

The shore crew get ready for the big welcome.

Technology puts us in the thick of the Vendee action.

Grainy pictures start to come in.

The grainy pictures are replaced by professional snaps.

She’s in and it’s smiles all round.

Surfs up.

Surfs is really up.

The polishing reaches the end of the boat.

Flat water and sunshine. What a top combination.

Penny for your thoughts.

The big swell undermines the cliffs just a little bit more.

Ahhhh. Beach time.

Pointy rocks, pointy houses.

Larry tries to look seductive.

All the colours of the rainbow.

Another use for oranges. Cake.

Walking and thermos flasks. We could be the in the lake district.

It only takes one mistimed wave.

We like paddling.

An unusual ship with an unusual load.

Iain is down there somewhere.

They lived a good live. They created a great dinner.

We’re through with a hairs width to spare.

Mascot.
