    None of the beaches at Cascais, near Lisbon, are dog friendly. Looking around we spotted this; looks like a pen for mini submarines perhaps?

    Be brave – go inside….

    Didn’t expect this!

    Steps, perfect, handrail and all!

    Tuck the boat back inside, and unless you look down through the grating it is hidden. (Notice our electrified rudder which we charge from our solar panels. We are completely silent and cost free.)

    The folding trolley on the right is how we move our shopping.

    At the entrance to the boatyard there are three parrots. They say ‘Hello’ in English.

    Its pretty demeaning to have to lie here whilst your humans try and talk with them.
    But I got one of their feathers, smell and all, back to the boat!
