June 21 - June 30, 2019; 858 nm and 100 days after departure from La Rochelle What a warm welcome to Portugal. This is not related to the temperature of Porto🤪, but to the Portuguese in general and specifically to the nice ladies of the Marina Douro. We arrived in the morning of the 21 …
May 26 - June 20, 2019; 787 nm and 88 days after departure from La Rochelle It is absolutely amazing. The four rías (Ría de Muros, Ría de Arousa, Ría de Pontevedra and Ría de Vigo) provide so many beautiful caribbean like beaches that it is unbelieveable that they are not more touristically developed. The …
May 25 - Mai 26, 2019; 652 nm and 63 days after departure from La Rochelle OMG what a ride! We had two unbelievable perfect sailing days. Downwind sailing with the swell pushing us and the sun warming our bodies. I think, that must be sailors delight as I can't think of better conditions for …

April 22 - April 28, 2019; 388 nm and 35 days after departure from La Rochelle The people in Gijón love their "sidra" and we loved how they served it. So funny to watch. Why that? To get more air in the drink?! Amazing that they don't spill half of it :-), thumbs up and …
What an amazing place to stay! It was so worth to enter the narrow, difficult (definitely to us) entrance to the "ría de Villaciosa", the estuary of Villaciosa. It is only possible to enter and leave the ría around high water, in daylight and in suitable weather conditions with possibly no waves or swell. Due …
Leaving San Sebástian was a bit sad as we had to say good bye to this beautiful scenic city with it's delicious food. On the other hand we were looking forward to discover more of the Basque Country. The passage was unspectacular. The most exciting part was the unexpected heavy winds in the beginning of …
Wow! Almost 3 weeks have been gone since our last entry. Time has been flying; probably because of so many impressions and new adaptions. I need to keep up better with the blog!
