Peniche and Berlengas, 20 - 22 September

Porto to Peniche is a 116 nautical mile ride along the coast of Portugal. No much shelter along the way, at least practicable at night. This coast is called the "European pipeline" in relation with the best surf breaks that can be found in European waters. Any surfer would know Supertubos and Nazaré, the best world class spots along this coast for surfing.

For the first time in this journey we are able to get the Code 0 out for most part of the night, making a big difference in term of speed in these light winds. But the winds did not allow Belisama to be surfing on super tubes.

Baiona to Porto, 17 September

We reached Porto Douro Marina around 18:00 Saturday evening to find it full in relation with regattas organised this weekend. After asking if we could stay overnight on the service peer, one spot was finally identified for us, with a view on the Douro bridge! Nice to have a spot in such a city.
