Day #3 - and we want more sun to see

Saturday, March 09, 2024
Praia da Rocha, Faro District, Portugal
It rained today…again.  At times it was the heavy, sideways rain that soaks and chills you to the bone. We headed out this morning in spite of it and made our way down to the marina where there was a regatta of sorts on.  Appeared to be school aged kids.  I felt sorry for them waiting around for the event to start in the rain and heavy winds.  We gave up the wait in favour of finding a dryer spot.  
                                         
We did return later on when the rain cleared and caught the last race which was many kayakers plus 1 stand up paddler…who finished last in the race.  No surprise as he definitely fought the wind a lot harder than those kayakers who were low to the water.
As rain threatened again we headed to our ‘local’ called The Irish Rover.  It was where we spent many a day on our last trip down here and when we returned on Thursday we were happy to find our regular server still there…and she remembered us…or at least CLAIMED to.
                                          
We put a lot of miles on today, exploring some streets in the neighbourhood that we hadn’t visited before.
The highlight of the day?  I found a good use for our bathroom garden hose!!
