Barbecue at Punto do Curral
In the morning I went into Valenca to do some shopping and get materials for a barbecue. The local paper carried election results. Our host on two trips, Paulino, just failed to get elected by a handful of votes. Peleteiro also failed in his attempt to become mayor. Hildecio was elected for another term.
I was to join Ron & Marli and Johan & Rosie for a beach barbecue. They were already at Punto do Curral. I left Galeão at 14:10 and anchored off the beach at 15:45.
Before anything else I wanted to scrub the dinghy which only two weeks after the last scrub was already becoming badly fouled again. Ron and Johan set about collecting firewood.
Later, just after dark, as I prepared to join Ron and Marli on the beach the heavens opened as a large passing rain squall sent them back to their boat and me back inside.
After about 45 minutes it passed and we all went ashore. After a couple of false starts the fire got going and we ate well without further rain. Ron on grill duty shared my like of slighty carbonised sausages and meat.
A not very good attempt at flash photograpy. The white squiggly lines are two torches suspended from a tree branch moving gently in the breeze.
