    Boatyard II

    Still in the boatyard with lots more to do and taking (as always) longer than planned… see what happens during our haul-out and projects.

  • Boatyard I

    Boatyard I

    Time for our girl to get some maintenance done. We’re in the boatyard for a week (we hope not longer) to do some work that requires holes in the bottom!

  • Rio de Alvor

    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.

  • 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!
