Our last stop in Europe was Sagres in Portugal. This is a small fishing town in the south-west corner of Portugal. We stayed there for two nights waiting for the right winds to sail to Morocco. It was 2,5 days sailing from Portugal to Morocco. Most yacht tourists visit Rabat in Morocco. However, since …

A week ago on the 9th September, we hopped on Salacia. It has been a week of getting to know the life at sea. We were greeted by Margus at the Leixous harbor. It’s a yacht marina and commercial port next to Porto. We had a quick coffee at the harbor so we could briefly …
As we have mentioned in a few previous posts, our intention is to cross the Atlantic Ocean with a sailboat. The reason for this is that Jaanus has always dreamed to sail around the world and when we started to plan our around the world trip Jaanus was trying to sell this idea to Kaija. …
We woke up petty early and started moving towards mountains to deliver our car to Margus.

After Madrid, we started to drive toward Portugal. Since we did not know exactly how much time we have until our sailboat can pick us up, we did not do any specific planning what we will do in Portugal. We knew we wanted to see the nature and also spend some time by the coast. …
After 2 nights camping in Andorra, our next goal was to reach Porto, Portugal. Why? Well, did we mentioned already that we will cross the Atlantic ocean with a sailboat? And Porto is the place where we will board. The amazing thing about this story is that another guy from Estonia is sailing around the …
We went to Andorra with the plan to conquer its highest mountain Coma Pedrosa. First, when we arrived, we right away noticed the difference in temperature with Spain. It was much much cooler. For the first night, we found a camping near La Mansana. It was quite pricey, but not also overly expensive as we …
The Coma Pedrosa hiking day started cheerfully. We slept in (totally), but it did not bother us much, because we thought that the 7 hours trail would probably be a piece of cake. The guy from the information center at least left us with such an opinion. So we started the hike around 10.30. Already …
