    Cascais ⚓

    2024年10月4日〜5日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Today we know it's going to be a long day, but we are ready for it! We have accepted we won't be sailing today and decided to let Perky work a bit harder today so that we will move quicker. Again another foggy day. It seems like the fog continues to overtake us just when we think today might be a little bit of a sunny day. It is just like another 9 to 5 day, but we add a couple more hours. It takes us about 10 hours to get to Cascais. Along the way we play some games and Bart enjoys, apparently, the most liberating feeling in the world by watering the ocean overboard 🤷🏽 When we are at anchor on Cascais Bart takes out his supboard to do a little trip around the anchorages and visit some of the other boats. He returns with half of a bonito from the Equinox! We enjoy a delicious dinner mix of sashimi and some grilled bonito 😋もっと詳しく

    Peniche ⚓

    2024年10月3日〜4日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Even though it is only 20nm from Nazaré to Peniche, sometimes these shorter trips feel like they last forever. When we leave the port of Nazaré we briefly feel very excited because it looks like we can sail today! Unfortunately, this joyful moment only lasts for about half an hour. We are "doomed" to turn on our engine Perky (Perkins 50 HP) again. We know we are spoiled to be able to do this sailing trip, but we do struggle a bit these days to stay positive and keep our energy up. We haven't been able to have a good sail in a long time now and we can barely see a thing because of the fog. You could argue, then why do you motor on? Because the weather forecasts tell us the south westerly winds will continue to blow along the coast here. And if more favorable winds are predicted, they blow up to 35 knots. We are still hopeful that now that we are getting close to Lisbon, we only need 3 good days of no southern winds to get to Sesimbra, followed by Sines and finally Sagres in the Algarve! We also look forward to have some downtime in Lisbon and to go back to Sesimbra. When we brought Nimrod to the Netherlands from Albufeira two years, we almost spend a week in Sesimbra. We don't mind to do so again!

     We had another motivation booster today, we caught 3 mackerels again! Bart had been texting Equinox, a trimaran on their fourth big trip already!, all day and we offered to donate one of our mackerels to them. Instead they invited us over for a BBQ dinner together with the Noordster since the Noordster had caught a mackerel as well. We were proud of our catch of the day, but we weren't ready for the size and taste of Noordster's mackerel! They had caught a Spanish mackerel, they look and taste more like tuna than mackerel. Delicious 😋 and nice to meet some new people, especially after another foggy day 😉    もっと詳しく

    Nazaré

    2024年10月2日〜3日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Today we placed a bet and we went all in 🃏. We bet on the fact that we wind would shift from a south western to a western direction. The shift should would start further down south around noon. For us, it would probably shift around 2 p.m. According to the predictions 2 o'clock turned into 4 o'clock, which turned into 5 o'clock, which in the end turned out to be 7 p.m. By the time the wind had shifted we had already spent close to 45 of nautical miles tacking and we were almost there. We think in the end we motor sailed about 50 instead of the 35 nautical miles we set out. We definitely lost our bet. Oh well, we have to try it every now and then.

    It does mean that we are now officially in the Valhalla of surfers: Nazaré. We mostly hoped there would be any of the magnificent waves by the time we arrived. The waves here are so big because there is a big trough (trog) very close to the beaches of Nazaré. Which makes that within less than a mile the water depth goes from 150+ to 20 or less. Since we arrived in the dark we were extra happy there weren't any big waves when we entered the area. Instead we were welcomed by another fog party. But we made it!

    The next day we went into town a bit before setting off to Peniche. There is supposed to be an escalator that takes you literally up town. Since we were covered in fog again, and expected we wouldn't be able to see anything anyways, we skipped this one. The parts of Nazaré we saw were very much accommodated to the summer surf tourists again. Also, as most of the towns we visit, a lot of the town's history lies in the fishing industry. And they seem to have a bit of a cat problem. Since we saw so many stray cats, who are able to stay in some sort of diy cat hotels. We didn't love it, so back to the Nimrod we went for another day of cruising.    もっと詳しく

    All different seasons in these trees were pretty cool though

    Figueira da Foz

    2024年9月30日〜10月2日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    It's only been a couple of days, but the both of us already don't remember how our trip from Aveiro to Figuera da Foz was. If we had to guess it was probably another motor sail one. Along the way Bart has been in contact with Tjeerd and Marieke from the Ella. The both of us are trying to get on the good side of the low pressure zone further south. We invited them over for dinner and since we still have a lot of tomatoes we start with some bruschetta followed by a tomato, walnuts and burrata risotto. A very tasty leftovers meal 😋 and a very nice evening together.

    The next morning we set an alarm for 8 a.m. to see if there was going to be any wind so we could move on. Unfortunately, there wasn't any. The day after there should be some wind especially later in the afternoon. We decide to turn off the alarm and turn around for a bit more sleep. After 2 hours I woke up a new person ready for the day. Bart had already been awake for at least an hour 😅. We explored the town of Figueira da Foz for a bit. Compared to the other cities and towns we have been to, Figueira da Foz felt a bit neglected. A lot of the buildings and streets could really use some renovation. Furthermore, since we are getting closer to the surfing Valhalla 🏄🏽, the widely stretched beaches are accompanied by lots of high(er) rise buildings and tourist accommodation and attractions. Foz, as the locals seem to call it, isn't our town. We return to Nimrod to watch the Rings of Power (prequel series to Lord of the Rings), it's nerd time 🤓.    もっと詳しく

    São Jacinto⚓

    2024年9月29日〜30日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    From our anchorage at the Duoro we moved on to São Jacinto. The bigger town on the other side of the river, is probably a bit more well known: Aveiro. Since there is an electricity cable hanging over the water, it prevents sail boats from going into the Aveiro side of the river. We had a very quiet night here, especially compared to our stay at the Duoro where we always had to keep a watchful eye for the current of the river.

    The trip to São Jacinto was also very relaxed. We have decided to move further south at a bit higher pace, to try to get on the good side of the low pressure zones. So far we're happy with this decision.    もっと詳しく

    Duoro (Vila Nova de Gaia) ⚓

    2024年9月27日〜29日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    As we were getting closer to Porto the last couple of days, we, but mostly I, looked very much forward to anchoring on the Douro, not just on our boat, but on our own home, in Porto. As the weather hasn't really been in our favor it didn't look like we were going to do so. One thing we have to consider as we cruise along the coast of Portugal is that many of the harbors and the entrances (barras) leading up to these harbors can close due to big waves. Meaning we are not able to enter or leave a place. As we were making a plan for the coming days the Duoro Barra had been closed for a couple of days now. The Aveiro Barra however, about 35 nm further south, had opened up again. We decided to give it a try. However, this could also mean we would turn around again again since the waves were still between 2 and 3 meters.

    We left Leixoes, hoisted the sails, stuck our nose out and quickly turned around again. No wind and still massive waves. We would wait this one out. We went back into the port and dropped our anchor. For the first couple of hours we waited to see if the Duoro had openend yet, since that would be a trip of only 3 nautical miles. Unfortunately, no luck. After reading for a while we decided to try and fix our beam problem again and this we were succesful! First aluminium bending, I always knew I would turn out to be an earthbender, project, done! By this time we had forgotten about the Duoro, but Bart checked for a final time: "it's open". Let's go.

    Anchoring on the Duoro also meant we would finally meet Esmee and Dante of the Nova Mahea, one of the few other, even younger 😉, vertrekkers. We had very briefly met on the Vertrekkersdag in March, but a handful of boats has been telling them and us that we should realllly try to meet each other because we would have such a good click together. Well, I don't know what they were thinking...

    No, I'm just kidding. We had a really fun evening together. Even though we have had lovely evenings with all of the other very friendly people, it just is different with fellow young ones. At first we thought we would move on to Aveiro the next day, but we rather spend a really fun evening together with the Nova Mahea, some more time in the Porto area and as it turned out a very fun very Dutch borrel with the Nova Mahea, Lotus, Ella and Audrey. During the day Nova Mahea was very generous to serve as our private dinghy taxi to take us to land. We walked about 40 minutes to the main thing of Vila Nova de Gaia (on the southern bank of the Duoro): port houses. No tasting, or way too expensive tours for us, but we did have a good time walking around and having lunch in the park. We even bumped into some cool street art.

    It is quite bizar to be anchored on the Duoro, in Porto, in Portugal and to be surrounded by 4 other Dutch boats. It does however make for some very fun evenings. While hundreds of tourists on boats paid hundreds of euros to quickly go up and down the river on their sun set cruise. From the Nova Mahea, we were able to take some beautiful pictures of our home, the Nimrod, peacefully anchored on the Duoro as the sun was setting. It is still surreal this is our life now.    もっと詳しく

    Porto

    2024年9月24日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    It is always quite nice to be in a city again after spending a lot of time in more remote or small town places. We found some really nice warm pastel de nata and walked around the older parts of Porto. We really like Porto. There's a nice vibe in town and all the colorful buildings and orange rooftops make it very charming. We also treated ourselves to some drinks, I enjoyed a very good Porto Tonic (white port, tonic, a cinnamon stick, mint and orange slice) and Bart had some beers. For dinner we went to a place looking out over the Douro (river) which more looked like a football canteen than a restaurant. We we had a great and cheap dinner at an awesome spot. Somewhere during dinner it had started raining again so we had to walk to the bus stop in the rain.もっと詳しく

    Leixões

    2024年9月23日〜27日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    After just one night in Viana do Castelo we already moved on to Leixoes. Why so quick, you might wonder. Well for the last couple of weeks one low pressure zone after the other has been hanging around the Portugese west coast. This doesn't only mean that we are left without any wind on many days, but also very strong winds at some points. It was forecasted that during the night of Tuesday to Wednesday up to 45 knots of wind were about to hit land coming in from a southestern direction. We wanted to make sure that we would arrive early enough in Leixoes, the more industrial and much cheaper harbour of Porto, to get a good spot. So, we left Viana do Castelo to move on to Leixoes.

    After such foggy days, we were treated by a gorgeous sunny and windy day! It turned into a beautiful 🌞 s out and sails out kinda day🥳. Of course, we still had to zigzag around the fishing pods. When we arrived we were told we had to stay on the visitors pontoon since all of the other berths had already filled up in the harbour. Maybe the next day some boats would move on and we could take one of their spots. We hoped this would happen, since the visitor pontoon is, as it is often, the first pontoon when you go into the harbor. This time the visitors pontoon also was faced right into the direction of where the wind would come from. Yes, there are 1,5 piers, as they're still building the most outer one, protecting the harbor, but still. This spot did not look like it was going to be a great one to ensure the coming storm.

    The next morning it was raining a lot, so we spent the first half of the day inside watching Industry and the Bear. Once it cleared up we decided to spend the rest of the day in Porto. By bus or metro we should be able to get into the centre of Porto in about an hour. As we walked over the pontoon towards the land we discovered two spots had opened up at the end of the pontoon. We looked at each other, turned around and quickly moved our Nimrod into a more peaceful berth. Feeling even better we went into Porto.

    While we were away a young Danish couple (Oskar and Ana) and their crew had slipped into the other free berth next to us. We had already met them shortly in Finisterre. We meet so many other Dutch boats along the way, that it is very nice and refreshing to meet people with different nationalities once in a while. They had just come from their anchor spot on the Duoro also to wait out the storm before leaving to Madeira. We spent the day doing some boat jobs. We finally finilazed installing the watermaker, so now we can actually use it to fill our water tanks and we stopped the watermaker pipes from leaking. Fixing this took us about the whole day 😅 But, it works now so we're happy and satisfied. As it was getting later, the wind started to pick up more and more.

    After a nice chat with Oskar and some dinner we walked back to our old spot on the visitors pontoon to see what it looked like over there. We couldn't have been happier to have moved spots. Wow. It looked like the ocean swell had fully made it into the harbor. The boats docked further out of the harbor, but also the pontoons were moving up and down like crazy. Another young couple (Artemis) who had taken our old spot, we trying hard to secure their boat again since one of the cleats had been ripped off the pontoon. We offered our help but they said they had it under control. We went back to our Nimrod. I tried to call my parents for the third time that day, we had continuously been interrupted, when Bart told me that the Artemis needed help because they were going to switch spots. They already had 3 people on board, but could use our help to prevent the boat from crashing into the pontoon, as they would be pushed against it, and to tie up their lines. Once they were safely docked we all grabbed the extra fenders we didn't need ourselves to make sure they would also get through the night without damage. Luckily, all three of us did.

    We spent one more day on the harbour because the ocean was still recovering from the storm. We didn't feel like going out with up to 3 meters of waves. Instead we did some more boat jobs: we installed the relay that we got in Vigo, tightened the sea rail again and made an attempt to forge our aluminium from Vigo into a topping lift holder (the beam project). Two out of three were successful, pretty good score.    もっと詳しく

    Viana do Castelo

    2024年9月22日〜23日, ポルトガル ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    We are in Portugal! From the moment we turn left out of Baiona onto the Atlantic Ocean we are surrounded by fog again. All the way even into the port of Viana do Castelo. Without any sight and barely any wind this makes for a very boring trip. The most exciting part is that we get to change our Spanish courtesy 🇪🇸 for a Portuguese one 🇵🇹, somewhere halfway along the way.

    Since we barely have any sight, I spend quite some time on our bow this time, to spot all the fishing pods as soon as possible to make sure we are able to maneouver around them in time. When the pods start to appear less frequent I started my first Portugese lessons on Duolingo. Very happy to know leite 🐄🥛, which we don't drink, carra 🚗, which we don't have, but also the so far impossible to pronounce pão 🍞, which we do love to eat. Luckily we are able to pass all of the pods, without getting stuck in it's nets or lines. We did however lose another paravane and some other fishing gear to the pods, rip ✌🏽.

    After arrival in the port of Viana do Castelo the fog finally disappears. It was quite an experience to sail into a new port without any clear sight of the pier or any of the buoys that are supposed to guide you into the port. As we move further into the port the fog slowly disappears and a very cute, except for the heavy industry that basically comes with any sea port here, town appeared to us. Once we are cleared by the marinero we venture into the town. We have one mission, find the bakery that sells apparently the best and most delicious some sort of Berliner pastry. Yes, we are also very surprised by this. But no we can't tell you what is what like, since unfortunately the bakery for some undefinable reason was closed... We didn't want to settle for a not so delicious supermarket attempt at the Portugese Berliner pastry. So after strolling around town for a bit, but without a clear goal which made Bart lose interest rather quickly, yet mostly because we were both pretty tired after being so alert all day, we returned to our Nimrod.    もっと詳しく

    Baiona ⚓

    2024年9月21日〜22日, スペイン ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    This day was a Bart and his .... day

    Bart and his 📣
    It was another foggy day to get from Moaña to Baiona. This time we were lucky if we could see 50m ahead of us. We heard other boats in the distance use a fog horn. So Bart also brought out our, let's call it traditional, fog horn to announce where we were since we couldn't see any other boats around us.

    Bart and his ⛵
    We were tipped by Square One (Kiki and Harmen) who had arrived a day before us in Baiona to visit the paradores (castle walls) of Castelo de Monterreal. From there we had a beautiful view of the ria de Baiona, the harbour and our Nimrod in the distance.

    Bart and his 💣
    Up until the end of the 19th century Baiona was the main city of trade until Vigo took over. The first ship to return from the new world, la Carabela Pinta, arrived in Baiona in the 15th century. As a result, the city of course had to be protected. A lot of canons, some dating back to the 1800s, are still present on the paradores.

    Bart and his 🥩
    Behind the promenade are some very cute smaller streets where a lot of smaller stores, bars and restaurants are hidden. Bart spotted his first piece of picanha. We probably wait till we're in Portugal to get some.

    Bart and his 🏎️
    The dinghy takes us everywhere. It's our ride. An outboard motor has been stolen here before, so we secured two locks to prevent this from happening to us. We also used a long rope to the dinghy to the stairs because of the upcoming tide. We didn't take into account that when we would come back that the stairs would also be flooded😅 Bart came to the rescue though. And we were able to go to Square One for some drinks and eventually home.    もっと詳しく
