And it was another one of those bad news days. After pulling up the deck on the outside we realised that the wood rot got into the samson post right on deck level. After poking a knife into the samson post to determine how far along the wood rot has gone (hoping we could safe the samson post) we quickly realised that it's rotten almost halfway through and it was a hard decision, I do have to admit it took a bit of convincing, I really wanted to save the old post, I really didn't want another project, it's all getting a bit overwhelming lately, like what the hell was I thinking, buying a timber boat... But yeah the boat builder and a few other friends did talk some sense into me, it is probably not the safest idea to moor your boat on a half rotten post. So here we go, winching the old post out to use it as a template to make a new one :) IG: @ yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy

All major port brands are represented in Porto. Once we entered the city, we saw them all along the quayside: Sandeman, Kopke, Graham’s, etc. We are no Port connoisseurs, but we like the sweet and strong taste of Port. We walked in a few of the port houses and some were very elegant and made a real experience of your visit. With live music and live cooking. So you could combine drinking a glass of port (with the date of your visit printed on the glass!) while eating the famous Portuguese pastéis de bacalhau (fried codfish with melting sheep cheese inside) and hearing the lovely music at the background! We did this and made a video of the unique atmosphere of this porthouse.
