Good sailing weather, all the time.

Portugal is lucky to occupy a southern position in Europe's mainland map. In consequence, enjoys a fair sunny weather all year round.

On this December Sunday morning, despite a not so friendly ten degrees Celsius, the sailing was great. Plenty of wind, as usual in the winter, for everyone's fun and adrenaline.

Nothing better than the sailing boat's perspective to really enjoy Lisboa's skyline, hills, landscape and historical buildings.

Mix the fun of sailing among friends with the dazzling of such a beautiful city view and you will get the perfect ingredients for a memorable day.

Good winds for everyone.

Crossing the Atlantic!

Sailing back to Lisbon, returning from Azores Islands, on a Dufour 385.

A storm forced us to return to São Miguel in search for safe harbour. That meant 100 nautical miles back, after four dificult days strugling to sail upwind in an average 35 knots and 5 metre waves. Gusts sometimes reaching 45 knots. Waves getting bigger and bigger.

After two days docked in São Miguel (Azores) marina, the wind shifted north and we could restart our crossing. It took us 6 days to reach mainland, on an average speed over ground (SOG) of 9 knots and surfing.
