Ship’s Log
-

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

Trip to the NL
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.
-

Olá Portugal!
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!
