Passage to Portugal

We have a fabulous 20 minute visit to our bow from Dolphins- they are a great diversion in the middle of the 11 hour passage from Bayona to Porto.
We stow the Spanish courtesy flag along with the oilskins and raise the Portuguese flag - we are sailing south, chasing the sun.

The entrance for Porto is beautiful. A long beach on either side as we enter the river through the breakwater . A palm tree line road with houses and apartments on our port and to starboard a nature reserve beach. In front of us and high up is an enormous bridge linking the hills on either side of the river and behind it, just coming into view, the start of the city. Here we turn to starboard into Douro marina.Læs mere
