    Rio de Alvor

    We enjoyed the beautiful (very shallow) estuary and river of Alvor… flamingos, nice village, great Pastel de Nata, and beautiful views!

  • Portimão II

    Portimão II

    Still in Portimão and in the marina for the holidays. Lots of celebrating and good cheer, projects, and more projects, and storks, of course!

  • Portimão I

    Portimão I

    We are here in Portimao for the holidays. Storks feature prominently in the landscape and we take advantage of being in the marina for projects.

  • To Portimão

    To Portimão

    Time to head south! We take a few days to sail from Lisbon to Portimao on the south coast of Portugal in the Algarve region. Good weather and sailing!

  • Lisbon – Part II

    Lisbon – Part II

    Oeiras: Scooter rides, the Palácio with its gardens and Carcavelos wine. Chestnuts, holiday lights, projects, travel, and a broken tooth.

  • Lisbon – Part I

    Lisbon – Part I

    We are in the Lisbon area for a month or more, enjoying all that our “city of love” has to offer… including our favorite: Castro’s Pastel de Nata.

This is how it all started…

Thanks to Lovesail.com, a dating and social-networking website for people passionate about sailing, two avid sailors and full-time live-aboard cruisers from different countries halfway around the world (who were otherwise unlikely to have ever met), found each other. And so began the journey to share love and life, and fulfill their dreams together!

Dione IV first gets some enhancements and spa treatments in the boat yard, and then we sail off into the sunset!….
