Plagues and Anxiety at sea! An unfortunate consequence! #74

Plagues and Anxiety!?.. An unfortunate consequence of staying inside the 20m contour! Staying in shallow water in order to minimise the risk of orca interactions on the Spanish and Portuguese coast we found unwanted, and very unwelcome, visitors being blown offshore onto the boat! Plagues of bees arrived one day ? followed by mosquitoes ? the next! As if that wasn't stressful enough, making day hops rather than sailing offshore meant dealing with standing waves in the entrances to the Guadiana River and the lagoon at Culatra, setting Kate's anxiety off and leaving her emotionally drained. The battle for home continues?. We took advice from the amazing team at www.orcas.pt who have scientists studying the orcas working with them to keep advice and information on orca locations up to date. Orcas.pt also have groups on Telegram where sailors and the team share information and up to date sightings and as they pass through the hot spot areas. #followintrepidbear #sailing #sailinglife #sailingaroundtheworld #saillife #liveaboardsailboat #sailinganxiety #boatlife #cruisingsailboat #orcaalley #rioguadiana #culatra #sailingcouple #sailingstories #sailingvideo #sailingstories #sailboat
