* Our winter stay in North America with family and friends has ended and we’re back in Lagos, Portugal. We stopped in Lisbon overnight and will climb aboard a train in 20 minutes to take us back to Big Sky. * Videos: On our way to Peniche on a flat beautiful ocean, Short-Beaked Common Dolphins visited a number of times rolling over to look at us. They can travel at times up to 60 KPH, but played at our bow as we motored 12 KPM (7 knots). Early afternoon, Bottlenose Dolphins visited, squeaking and squirming and one guy spraying my camera. (Sorry for the water marks.) I could tell after the fifth time or so that he aimed his spray at me, turned over to see my reaction, followed by his squeaking. * Videos below, Kate and Amy entertained us while we babysat one evening. And Hailey performing double flips in gymnastics. * Click: Sailing 2018 for stories and photos.
