In Orca Territory on Our Longest Sail Yet | Sailing the Atlantic Coast to the Mediterranean

We have sailed into our eighth country, Portugal, on our journey from Sweden to the Mediterranean!🇵🇹 This video begins in the beautiful city of Porto, where we finally experience the sunny early spring days we’ve been longing for after our first month of storms and rain. We explore Porto’s charming streets, taste traditional Portuguese food and drinks, and soak up the atmosphere of one of Europe’s most beautiful coastal cities.☀️ Back on the boat, we install our new cockpit enclosure from Kapell & Annat and enjoy it for the very first time this season, a true game changer for liveaboard sailing life. We’re also deep in preparations for the long sailing season ahead as we continue south toward the Mediterranean.⛵️ We then set off on our longest passage at sea so far, just the three of us, heading toward Nazaré, 100 nautical miles down the Atlantic coast of Portugal. As we sail, we hope to avoid orcas, fishing nets, and heavy Atlantic swell. The wind is light, and although we enjoy a calm wing-on-wing sail, the passage takes longer than expected. We arrive early the following morning.

We started the journey in our unique 33 foot sailboat from 1980, which we sold in Kiel, and luckily one week after we bought a new boat, a Bavaria 37, from 2000 more suited for our adventures ahead. 🔔 If you love real-life sailing stories and adventures where we learn as we go, don’t forget to subscribe and join us on the journey! 🎬 Check out all our videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW5XfQ-xoWegVqr10z1ukHYnIOlh3kQfc 📱 Follow us on Instagram for more updates: https://www.instagram.com/sailanddoxie/ #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife #liveaboard #couple #adventure #dog
