Trip to Portugal
Road trip from Saint Malo to Guarda Portugal. Sher has to go to her appointment to apply for her residence permit.
-
To Saint Malo
We anchor and “beach” the boat to clean the bottom, and have a bit of excitement! Then we head into St. Malo
-
Iles Chausey
Only a few rocks visible at high tide and lots of dry land at low tide. We skip the packed holiday-time mooring jungle and anchor.
-
Normandy Coast
From croissants and baguettes in Cherbourg, we stop and wait for good conditions to sail around the cape to Jersey.
-
To Cherbourg
Our passage into France was 280 nautical miles in 3 days/nights. That’s not fast, but we’re not in a rush… great trip!
-
Out to Sea!
After inland waterways, locks and bridges, it’s time to head to the open sea and salt water… North Sea, here we come!
-
Braassemermeer
Our trip through the canals south of Amsterdam to visit Wim’s daughter and newborn grand baby!
-
Amsterdam
On to Amsterdam, our home port! We have a good crossing, anchor two nights, then stay at Sixhaven marina.
-
“T” Day!
Finally! July 1st… “T” day. The day we planned to sail off. But wait, should we really leave today? Maybe tomorrow?
-
Preparing for “T”
One month left to complete all the preparations for leaving, and LOTS to be done and even more to store!
