Splashing in the cave of Benagil

Hard to believe that it's October already in this part of the World! It is so hot that Ryan and I had to go shopping and buy actual summer clothes, as our Swedish summer clothes were way too warm for the temperature. Never thought I would have that kind of problem!A couple of days ago, we left Marina de Lagos, where we had been docked in almost three weeks, and anchored 5 miles away in Portimão. The plan was to make an early morning stop in the famous cave of Benagil, before continuing to our next stop: Culatra.Sunset in Portimão, our first night at anchorage in almost three weeks.Sunrise on our way to Benagil.The beautiful cliffs of Algarve.Ryan using his favorite nav tool: the Navionics app.Outside the cave of Benagil, where we dropped the anchor.We launched the dinghy and drove inside the cave...The view did not disapoint...The cave was everything I had imagined and even more.We could see Polar Seal anchored, from one of the entrances to the cave.The hole on top of the cave of Benagil is what makes it so special...The water was warm in the cave, and I took advantage of it to go play in the waves...And had tons of fun :)
