E29 Our SAILING adventure is almost OVER (for now), but first an UNEXPECTED roadblock

Join us this week as we travel from Lagos to Vilamoura. We run into trouble attempting to negotiate the bureaucracy that is exporting and importing our dog (Walter) out of Portugal and into Morocco. First we tried to get a rabies titer test performed only to find out the Portuguese labratory may take 2 weeks or up to 1 month to get the results back to us. This would mean we massively outstay our Schengen visa, and we won't get to Morocco in time for Christmas, where we have friends meeting us. We need to make sure we have all the paperwork sorted so that we can get him into Morocco without a hitch, but also get him back into the EU after our Morocco visit. Morocco is high-risk for rabies so there are more stringent controls in place. To move a dog from Portugal to Morocco, Morocco requires a health certificate to be issued, but it is only valid for 3 days. All other EU countries the health certificate is valid for 10 days. 3 days is not a long time, and puts us in a tricky position for sailing to Morocco. It means we have to compromise on the weather window! We also explore Vilamoura slightly, and get to meet up with my brother Elliot Hanson, an Olympian, sailing in the Laser dinghy.
