    Gastronomic distress- kinda like... sea sickness is sorta.
    A lovely first mate for date adventures.
    Smooth seas ahead for you & Pickle.

    I did that same trip in January, was much colder. Once we rounded Cape Finistre, it was great. However you have to watch out for the fishing boats, some times they transit at night with nobody on watch, a very dangerous practice. oh and all the fishing gear.
    We stayed in the same marina outside Porto, it was easy to get the bus right out side the marina directly into the heart of he old town, near the clock tower.

    Somebody built a sailboat out of wine corks ( in the US) and got the portuguese cork industry to sponsor him sailing it down the Duoro. I think it went through those locks. It was quite a trip to get it up the river to the starting point involving several trucks.

    • @stephenburnage7687
      @stephenburnage7687 11 месяцев назад

      That's a good question. So much depends on the waters you are in. Generally, bottoms get fouled quicker in warmer waters but it also depends on what may be in the water - for instance, sewerage or fertilizers in the water can rapidly increase growth. Conversely, if you go up river into predominantly fresh water, all the salt water based growth can simply drop off.
