One month to get there, 3 hours to get back
Day 22 Day 32 One month to get there, 3 hours to get back Here are my favourite photos of the trip. It is difficult to pick my favourite as they all represent highlights of different aspects. It was a real privilege to be able to travel during the pandemic. Living on a yacht is […]
The Day Before
Day 22 Day 31 The day before ….. I slept until 9:30am and awoke to whatsapp messages from Sue wondering what had hapened to me. Ugh…. sleep Marco noticed that the cafe at the top of the ramp was doing a full English.. well why not, we had already had a curry so why not have […]
Sailing With wind
Day 22 Day 31 A day trip Viv and Lukas were leaving at 9am. They had managed to get a lift share on a ride sharing app. Their lift would pick them up at the marina dn take them all the way to their van at La Coruña airport. This was an absolute result for […]
Final Destination
Day 22 Day 30 Final Destination Lagos After 3 hours sleep we got up for the next shift. Virtually nothing happened, so we did sudoku and glanced at the vague horizon occasionally. Back to bed at 6am and then up 7 for the sunrise, which was OK, but nothing special. I keep remembering L’Aber Wrach. […]
Oeiras to Lagos
Day 22 Day 29 Oeiras to Lagos Day One We had a surprisingly restful night in the marina, although there were some hoodlums on jet skis earlier in the night upsetting people, including Marcello. A leisurely get up and breakfast. Quite bizarrely they deliver bread to your boat every morning. Decent stuff too! As we […]
Porto to Oeiras
Day 22 Day 28 Porto to Oeiras After getting up at 12 for the next watch, the night was looking pretty hazy. It is difficult to tell if it is hazy , misty or foggy. The only way to really tell was to look at the stars, or not, depending on its fogginess. Viv and […]
Porto to Cascais or Oeiras?
Day 22 Day 27 Porto to Cascais or Oeiras? I had a bad nights sleep. Sometimes I get a little bit of eczema on my hands and at night, the itch never goes away. The only positive is that it helps me identify a little with Sam’s condition. Plus I think there is a mossy […]
Porto layover
Day 22 Day 26 Porto Layover After a solid nights sleep I thought I had woken up too late to take pictures of the sunrise through the old Porto bridge. Thats what the iPad told me. I thought, oh well, I’ll just have to go back to sleep then :-). Sadly it was an hour […]
La Coruña to Porto – Day 2
Day 22 Day 25 Portugal La Coruña to Porto Day 2 Viv and I had the 12am until 3am slot. I was sleeping so soundly that Marco had to wake me up. I did set my alarm, but for the wrong time! I made some tea and went up on deck in time for the […]
La Coruña to Porto – Day 1
Day 22 Day 24 La Coruña to Porto Day 1 Previous Next We woke up pre-dawn, a last visit to the toilets in the dungeons of the marina office before setting off. The Norwegian boat next to us had already gone. We saw and spoke to them, on the VHF radio, later in the day. […]
