- This week we travel to Monsaraz to sail the biggest artificial lake in western Europe, the Alqueva reservoir! We'll be spending 3 days here camping on a desert island. The scenery is just amazing!
Our skiff, although only 12ft long, has a huge load capacity so we managed to carry gear and food for the 3 days, including a big cooler with fresh food and 12l of frozen water...while keeping the cockpit clear of stuff!! what a great little boat!

Once again, this proves that good times and enjoyable sailing do not depend on the size of the boat. Thanks for this video
Glad you enjoyed it
You two are too cool what a lovely couple ❤ from Liverpool
What a beautifull spot and amazing lake!!!
It really is!
what a great life!!!!
OMG 😮, a giant Optimist dinghy !
Ahahah, it might look a bit like it but it is a LOT more than that! 😉
Looks like a very stable boat..
it sure is! 😁
Nice trip Teo.
Good to see you 2 having so much fun with the boat.
Also good to see her learning the sailing thing....soon she will be hooked😂
I think Teo should consider himself already extremely lucky with a partner that actually enjoys sailing and doesn't mind to get her hair wet once in a while :) Women who do are already pretty rare in my experience, letalone women who enjoy sailing the boat themselves. Fun per euro spent on this boat can't be beaten by anything from my point of view.
She just loves anything sun and water!
But she does miss her hair drier and straightener! Every morning she goes like "omg! look at my hair"....but always with a smile. 😁
I think this is going to be my winter build project for sure : )
Nice one!
@5:34 Nice save.
First one here! I started my Puddle Duck this week which is a scaled down version of the oz goose. I look forward to seeing you having so much fun with yours.
Hope you enjoy it! If it's anything close to the Goose it's gonna be a great little boat!
Top. Que boas férias essas. Parabéns!
Obrigado Alex
Ola! Fico surpreso como ele navega bem. Vou fabricar o meu neste final de ano. Obrigado pelas dicas de construção e por compartilhar as experiências. Abraço do Brasil.
Parabéns pela decisão de construir um barco Alexandre!
Abraço
Bonjour vous deux. Voilà trois jours qui s'annoncent vraiment très agréables. Au début de la vidéo je me suis demandé comment Marina allait faire rentrer tout le matériel plus la nourriture dans un bateau de cette taille mais cela ne lui a posé aucun problème. Ce skiff est vraiment très étonnant. Marina se débrouille très bien à la barre. Dans le vent soutenu mieux vaut avoir de bons abdominaux pour tenir le bateau à plat. Bonne balade. Hâte de voir la suite. Prenez soin de vous. Amitiés. Olivier.
Hi Olivier,
The goose really is a little box of surprises! 😁
You can keep the boat leveled by just easing the main sheet, a lot easier than hiking hard for many hours!
Cheers.
Thanks for sharing.... you are living right friend!
Thanks for watching! 😉
I hope to hit the water this weekend as well!!! I love the location!
Top!
Mais um vídeo excelente, parabéns! E obrigado por compartilhar a aventura com a gente.
Wonderful!
Many thanks!
it looks like a very nice vacation lake.
We will return there eventually, and this time with fishing gear! 😁
@@TheBoatRambler oh totally...might as well eat for closer to free, and bring home your catch of the memories.
está lá tudo e anda bem! Boa!
Ainda me surpreende!! 😁
Fabulous location.
Boa viagem, bons spots
Top! 😉
@@TheBoatRambler n~~ao conheço o Alqueva. só o 2º maior lago artificial,na altura era Barragem de Santa Clara.(?)
great Tao, cheers Paul
Thanks for watching!
Great vid as always
Appreciate it!
Marina, with such a beautiful and appropriate name, it’s almost mandatory that you learn how to sail 😅
Right?! 😁
bom video bela aventura adorava fazer o mesmo
Estás tb num sitio previligiado, Setubal! Que saudades tenho de uma pescaria ao choco no Sado, a ultima foi há 20 anos!
Abraço
what happened to the upgrades on mother goose video? did i somehow miss it?
Hi, they have been on holidays, then we went on holidays and we just haven't been able to schedule it.
But I will do it when possible.
yo what kind of fishing is there here? any largemouth bass? smallmouth?
There's large mouth bass, perch and Zander I believe.
Great video, as always! Any permits needed to sail in the alqueva?
Thanks!
No permits needed, you just need your skipper's license.
And you can't run any 2 stroke outboards in fresh water venues in Portugal.
That's it as far as I know.
@@TheBoatRambler Very interesting video, So is it a Portuguese skippers license, or Eu, or American , or ? That would be interesting to know. Thank you very much for your help on this matter.
Could you say the distance covered each and how much sailing time. My oz racer is a little limited in range. Looking forward to going farther with the goose. Much thanks!
The Island is only about 3 NM away and beating we sailed maybe 4NM and took just over an hour as there was little wind.
é legal acampar nesse sitio? tiveram que pedir alguma autotização?
Oi João!
que eu saiba não é permitido acampar em nenhum lugar em Portugal a não ser em parques de campismo ou areas designadas para o efeito. Por isso montamos sempre a tenda depois do pôr-do-sol apenas para pernoitar e desmontamos ao nascer do sol. Para ser sincero não sei qual seriam as implicações legais em relação a pernoitar...
It is the biggest lake in Portugal, but the biggest lake in the EU is Vänern in Sweden.
The Alqueva is the biggest artificial lake in western Europe as mentioned in the first 6 seconds of this video and fully explained in the video 😉 ruclips.net/video/2Kjdqkm_b8E/видео.html
Biggest Lake in Europe 🤔 I dont think so ! There are bigger ones like Balaton in Hungary
@matiquintanoah4206 If you watched the first 30 seconds of the video you will learn that it is the biggest artificial lake in western Europe. The biggest artificial lake in Hungary, Lake Tisza, is only half the size. 😉
Great video but the " biggest artificial lake in western Europe" is not the same thing as "the Biggest Lake in Europe". A bit misleading there...
Not the biggest lake in Europe. The biggest ARTIFICIAL lake...
Yes, as shown in the first 5 seconds of this video...😉
@@TheBoatRambler But not in the title
@@01blaval I cant put every single word on a title.... "I'm sailing the biggest artificial lake in western Europe on a small 12ft dinghy" you would give up half way through that!! 😏
@@TheBoatRambler Don't worry about my comment, all is good👍🏼 Have a good sail👍🏼😊
Not even nearly the biggest!
Right on the the first 5 seconds of the video...It IS the biggest artificial lake in western Europe! more details in THIS video!
