Some of you that may have read our other blog, some of this will be a repeat, but we have tried to fill in some of the details for you about our trip thus far since leaving Lagos. As you may have figured from our previous entries we have been somewhat anxious to get moving again. We definitely enjoyed our stay in Lagos, Portugal but figured it was time to start moving north toward the Baltic. We ... Read Full Entry

Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal. It's time to sell the house, get rid of whatever doesn't fit on our 40 foot Caliber LRC named Tsamaya (this means Travel Well in Setswana) and set off to see the world. Our reasons for publishing this blog is twofold, first to keep in touch with our friends and family and secondly to share our experiences.

Grass on the Roof?

Wonder how they maintain the grass on the roof here??

Where to Hang the Laundry

When you don't have a yard, the laundry is hung in front of your windows.

Gardening is Important

Everywhere we go flowers are important - they even have outdoor sinks along with climbing roses.

Tree With Wings?

Take a look at how the tree bark grew around the wall - almost looks like a sting ray going up the wall

Some times the ocean is flat

It is hard to believe sometimes how flat the ocean can be.

Another Lighthouse

North of Sines the coast is stark and there are numerous lighthouses to help with navigation.

Entrance to River

We sailed past the entrance to the river which leads down to Lisbon, Portugal. We recognized the bridge from our previous travels here.

Cascais, Portugal

We decided to anchor in Cascais for the night before continuing our travels north. It is a combination of old and new.

Some of the New

This is quite an impressive new building seen when coming into Cascais anchorage.

Night View

It was nice of them to light up this building in Cascais as it gave us a beautiful view from the anchorage.

Moonlight is Important

We didn't have much of a moon on this trip but it is still impressive -sorry the photo isn't!

Lots of Fish Pots

Fortunately most of the fish pots have good markings on them as they are numerous along the coast.

Lighthouse Near Bayone

The lighthouse is situation quite low near Bayone, Spain but still impressive.

Safely in Cangas Marina

It was misty but could still see the town ahead that we are looking forward to explore in the next few days.

Wine In All Sizes

Stopped at the local market & saw they even have wine in boxes that are the size of juice boxes as well as quart/liter size! Handy for picnics?!

Thanks for explaining things...
to us landlubbers. I find all this nautical detail fascinating. However, Linda will never let me sail again after our near hurricane event in the Virgin Islands. Even canoes on lakes are out ask far as she is concerned.

sorry to hear
Sorry to hear as we seem to enjoy being near the water - even when we have had to go through some rough times, it is satisfying to know that you can handle it. Best wishes to you and thanks for following us - glad you have enjoyed it!
