~the neighbourhood in cascais
russ has attempted fishing. bought a heavy duty dyneema line and a windy thing. no fishin' poles here, mate. this is the old fashioned way. i look forward to seeing this.
aparently cascais is a suburb (at least nowadays) of lisboa, and we're possibly there until tuesday, depending on what the portuguese rep from fontaine-pajot says.
MOUNTING THE WINCH:
Warning: Couple the centering between mounting plate (14) and gear box (13) by hands supporting the gear box from down below into the centering while someone else tights bolts (12) from above.
useful stuff.
buys-ballot's law: to determine the centre of a depression (low atmospheric pressure). face true wind. right arm extend 90 degrees from your nose. that's the centre of the depression as wind activity in the northern hemisphere is anti-clockwise, as we say in Ol' Blighty.
