    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!

    What a joy to fly back to the NL to celebrate! We are here for Wim’s daughter’s “hand fasting” ceremony and to spend time with family.

    Our 1st stop in Portugal… Viana do Castelo. Scooter rides, hull cleaning on the drying grid, and yummy bolos de Berlin and pastel de natas!

  • Ria de Vigo II

    Ria de Vigo II

    We enjoy the Ria de Vigo and get some projects done as we wait for the package, our Sailrite, to arrive. It finally shows up!

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!….
