Three bread, two tomatoes and some old cheese And so, time had caught up with the crew of Gianti after 6 months messing about in Lagos. We’d soon be heading towards Gibraltar and beyond to start the next stage of our journey. No more would Captain Mac loose himself at the local gym with such …
Fit to sail
We try and exercise regularly with anything from resistance bands workouts, yoga, going for a run, cycling and generally walking everywhere. One of the benefits of having a static base is that we've both been able to have a regular exercise routine. Trev's been hitting the local gym pretty hard & I've been mainly working …
Happy St Patrick’s day
Trev doing his best to create the Irish flag in honour of St Patrick 😊
It’s the most wonderful day in the world!
OK so that's a Christmas song, I do love pancake day (or Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras or any of the other names it's known across the world). Have a brilliant pancake day everyone.
A velo for the Algarve Volta
What an exciting day. On this mornings run 🏃♀️ I noticed that there were lots of TV cameras and events 'things' set up along the main promenade through Lagos. When Trev got back from the gym he bounded down the stairs and with unbridled excitement, announced that 'there was something big going on in Lagos …

Not to mention the fact that we've spent more time together as a couple than at any other point over the last 20 …
Living la Vida Lagos

Everyone in the marina is really friendly and the offers …
Captains Blog 14 “And you can put that away”!
Lagos, a small town in the Algarve on the South coast of Portugal. It has some very positive things going for it, for example the first mate and I are here, the coastline and the beaches are stunning and there is always plenty going on. Of course, there are some less attractive aspects, such as …

Fish who stare at bikes
The unfortunate incident came to light when I returned to the boat after being out for a couple of hours. Both bikes were padlocked together through a cleat on the pontoon. I unchained mine, put the padlock in my rucksack and was off. When I returned I noticed that the first mate’s bike was gone …
