Ep006 Sailing Portugal: Rio Guadiana, Wild Food and a Haul Out

In this episode we sail to the Rio Guadiana, on the border of Portugal and Spain. Here we anchor 22 miles upriver and find wild food growing in abundance...olives, almonds, herbs, prickly pear cactus, quince, pomegranate and asparagus!
With many nationalities living on the river full time, this is a true liveaboard community, and a special place we felt right at home.
We then sail back to Faro ready for our winter haul out, before the work begins....

Always best to turn round and motor into the tidal stream and slowly allow yourself using throttle control to gently run astern towards a tight bridge, if you touch you can motor forward and away safely minimising damage

I sailed this same area in Oct. 2012 and your video reminds me of a very good time we spent at Alcoutim. Thanks and Cheers, Richard

I like a short, flat keel; with supports you can easily sit on the mud of the eastern UK river beds as needed.

Excellent. I've just found your channel and caught up. I was supposed to be around the Faro area about now as my daughter is studying there. However, I'm out of the water in the UK about a year behind schedule. You are giving me some good ideas where to stop when I do get under way. You are also giving me the idea to treble check the holding tank fitment and everything to do with the toilet as yours seems to feature a problem every other episode. Very enjoyable videos - thanks for sharing.

Just about Sailing Yes the heads/holding tank has been a bit of a theme...#therealcruisinglife haha! Really pleased you've found our videos informative in some way, as that's why we started putting stuff on KZfaq 😊 thanks for watching and maybe see you out here some day!

Exactly one year ago!! Only about 1000 more hours of footage to wade through!

Risky move for such a nice boat . I would not attempt a bridge crossing without knowing 100 % of the clearance. You could side load the mast next time to insure safe passage . Take care, great Boat !

Hey Guys That was a great episode, loved the foraging topic, M25 ants, the fog shot and of course the beached sea poo creature thing 😂 Always a good sound track too. Stay safe 🌬⛵️🌏

I'm a new follower of your channel. Thanks so very much for sharing your sailing experiences. I recognized the big black steel hulled Princes Mia in this video. I know of Princess Mia and her captain, Martijn Dijkstra, from their visits to Oriental, NC in the USA. Martijn is somewhat of a hero in Oriental. Truly a small world. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks again Brunson SV Mystic

brunsonr yes we know Martijn quite well now after meeting him in Portugal, he's great! Hopefully meeting him again in the Caribbean next month.

Rewatching for a second time your vids. No I'm not bored but curious. What is in the deck box forward of the mizzen mast? Why is it louvered? Do you find that 2 heads are necessary, or would you prefer one? If you were to convert one, which would it be, the forward or aft head? Your blog link is busted, got another one? Or just to busy to do it (which I would understand.. its hard to do one let alone another...?) The one thing I find looking at these boats (victory 40 / Trintella lV) is the small galley. Do you find it a problem? Thanks. !!!!
