    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.

    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

    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.

  • Porto to Lisbon

    Porto to Lisbon

    Porto to Lisbon is 3 day sails away, and there’s a hurricane coming across the Atlantic. But Figueira do Foz is a safe harbor to hide along the way!

  • Porto!!!! ❤️

    Porto!!!! ❤️

    An amazing few weeks in Porto! Tasting/buying delicious port, visiting with friends, and the highlight… our trip to Quinta da Devesa!

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!….
