Sailing on SV Humpback with the Beck family

Portugal

São Martinho do Porto

A beautiful near-circular bay, stunning beach, more life than we expected. Frost on the windows, playing in the sea.

More dolphins!

July 9, 2022December 4, 2017 by David Beck

On the way from São Martinho do Porto to Peniche Arthur and Dave enjoyed “following a pod of dophins” (as Arthur shouted in the most joy-filled voice we’ve ever heard).

We didn’t intend to stop here, but it was beautiful. Marina in a good location, lovely feel to the place, great Christmas fair.

Autopilot failure, diverting to Figueira da Foz

The autopilot heading-input broke in the middle of the night. I decided to head to a marina rather than hand steer.

A small sheltered anchorage next to a lovely quiet village. Some fun on a sandbar.

While on passage from Porto to São Jacinto, we enjoyed the winter sunshine and some dolphins followed us for a while.

We spent a month in Duoro marina, just outside of Porto. Lots of photos, very little text.
