Porto Santo – I
Porto Santo, Yay!!! We love this beautiful paradise and are so glad to be here. Lovely weather, clear water, easy-going lifestyle, and fun scootering!
-
To Porto Santo
Our first offshore ocean passage together on Dione IV. No orcas, but rolly seas at first, beautiful skies, a few dolphins, a squid, and more…
-
SE Algarve
On our way eastbound along the Algarve coast. We spend a few days in Alvor, then on to Culatra near Faro… the last stop in Portugal!
-
Boatyard III
Still here, but getting a LOT done! From top (wind generator) to bottom (transducer), and from bow (anchor chain) to stern (prop)!
-
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
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
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!
