LOL, "see you guys next week for ...err...ummm....whatever, um, really stay tuned"! very funny . BTW I Loved the tour of all the tiled houses in the fishing village. Thanks for another fun video
it actually makes a lot of sense to have paintball and a dive shop together since paintball uses high pressure tanks for the guns. You need a dive compressor to fill the paintball guns air tanks.
Ava you’re a star ,as well as becoming a very competent sailor you’ve become a big asset to the channel in broadening the content which we know was a concern to Mads well done to you both and continued success just love it
Your vids have come up for me several times. But I've watched hundreds of refit DIY ones so haven't watched your stuff. This... subbed and going to watch some more.
You guys are great! You need to double the length of your VLOGS! By 2023 each one should be a feature length film! I loved Ava's description of the different building facades! I don't think she repeated herself in any of them! Too bad you had to tie up in the marina's "red light' district!
Based on the sign off and closing tag to this episode, I see that the rigor of finely crafted and scripted videos has been wind swept and cruise-life time-warped. I LOVE IT! Keep on with the improv and au natural. Looks like your shifting into a beautiful cruising life. Chef’s kiss 🤌🏼😘
Safety ! Noticed last episode Ava was handing the mooring lines to dock hands and no PFD was being worn. You all have a great channel and no being safe could cost it all. Love watching . Watch a lot since Athena came home with Mass. Till next Sunday:
Im having a blast watching your travels, places I would not be able to personally visit. You have made a great transition from exclusive DIY to travel.
That'll be red wine then...! Fun video and very enjoyable viewing. There's always a small amount of anxiety and excitement leaving a marina for the next part of your voyage, you captured that perfectly in the video - the headsets do seem to work really well though. That is a small dive compressor in spite of the weight, invaluable though, what are the spec's on it? Love Ava's narrative - perfect and very engaging. Well done!
Hey guys welcome to my country, if you can do a rest stop in Sines small town south of Lisbon middle way between Lisbon and Algarve. I have my boat there and it was great to meet you guys and show you around. I live in Lisbon but every spare time I have i go south to my beloved Sv Noah. Let me know if you plan to stop in Lisbon and Sines so I can welcome you fair winds safe travels
Too bad you are stuck where you are down the coast are two of our favorite places - Nazare and Obidos. Ask someone about the fishermen wives and their petticoats in Nazare. Obidos is inland a short distance from Peniche. It is a fully walled Middle Ages community and is full of nice shops and cafes. It was really our favorite place to visit. This time of year there is a chocolate festival and Christmas there is beautiful. ( we are Americans who lived in Portugal four years 2007-2011). You should both find the people friendly as the Portuguese have a particular fondness for what they call expats (immigrants or foreign visitors). Enjoy. We are jealous of you getting to be there. We miss Portugal.
Great place, very exciting to add a dive compressor. Would it be possible at some time to make a dedicated video regarding the complete electrical system aboard, and how are you going to cope with 110V in USA?
Since you are trapped - I am a sailor but I haven't done much cruising, I would love to hear about what resources you for deciding which ports to stop in and to learn about the rules of each area you visit (like you mentioned in this video). I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the videos as much since you shifted from DIY but they are Frick'n Awesome! Thank you Mads and Ava
Congrats on arriving at Sagres ! That must be a massive relief for you both ! Excellent vids - referenced by Andy of Boatworks recently. Craftsmen 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
With the dive compressor and the electrical set up you have, there is no place that you can't got to and dive. You two are going to have an unbelievable time in the Caribbean and the Pacific when you get there. Take care and loved the tile presentation Ava.
Guys great videos! I'm based in Sagres, Cape Saint Vincent where I have a diving school, I ´m now restoring an old HRassy in the yard at Portimão, thanks for sharing your boat refit it has been very useful. I have a mooring in Sagres harbor if you like to stop by, you can tigh up. it's a lovely fishing village.... It would be awsome to meet when you get down south Portugal.
Moin Mads! I think it would be nice for every one to know the 'production date' of each Episode. Maybe there can be a date Info (week or so) in the trailer or the Description? When you Go back in time you can never Know this... Fair Winds!
Guys! You're practically in Coimbra! Just hop a train or a bus, pay for a night in a hotel, and report back! Portugal is such a great place (I can't believe you didn't spend at least a few nights in Porto, and given the state of the ocean, why not?), but it's not all on the coast. A guy that spends $2000 on a dive compressor can show their darling a night on the town or two, can't he?
My favorite village on the Portuguese coast is Vila Nova de Milfontes at the mouth of the Mira river. Unfortunately not accessible by boat but perhaps good because the small town is not devastated by the tourist industry. Have fun in Figueira da Foz. The surroundings of Figueira da Foz are wooded and the landscape is beautiful. Greetings from Portugal.
Nice you are in my country Portugal and Porto one beatiful city you have to come my island in Azores Sao Miguel island you will love it Welcome to Portugal
I don’t know the delay in uploading video, but if you are still in Figuiera da foz, a couple of tips. Visit the salt museum, and the town museum, both worth a visit. Coimbra, the old capital of Portugal is also worth visiting, especially the university. If you visit the Skipper bar, give them my regards (from Roger). You can buy fresh fish, fruit and vegetables in the indoor market, opposite the marina. Unfortunately I am not there at the moment due to health problems. Have fun!!
They also close the bars here in the pacific northwest of the United States, for the same reasons. As others have said, it's worth checking out the university at Coimbra, it's one of the oldest continuously operated in the world. I am sure you wouldn't miss Lisbon, but I would recommend Cascais and Sintra too. You can buy those pastries you ate, at the place that invented them in Belem. Enjoy Portugal; I am more than a little jealous. It's a long sail from Seattle.
I had a coltri gasoline powered compressor. Loudest thing I have ever owned. I hated to use it so much I sold it. If you've got the pixies, AC powered is the only way to go. Oh! and we ordered a Starlink! I had been waiting and waiting for it to be available here in Saint Martin, and consulted the map regularly. I finally got tired of the crappy cell phone data service and was about to order it from Florida, when a friend told me it IS actually available on the French side of Saint Martin (as it is in Guadeloupe and Martinique). The map was kind of referring to the Dutch side of Sint Maarten. I'm happy to learn that because the hardware and service is WAY cheaper in French Saint Martin than ordering through Florida.
Great tour of the beautiful buildings in Afurada! I'm sure you will find something interesting at your next stop. What's it called? Praia de Fugedaboutit?
My Catalina 30 has a dive compressor as well. it cost 300US with the 5ft of filter housings. It is also the size of a kids lunchbox or so. The cooling system utilizes water from our water system to cool the unit. It is a Yong Heng and is typically used for paintball as well. Just make super sure that your compressor is using synthetic food grade compressor oil for maximum safety. A lot of people forget about the oil in the compressor needing to be food grade. Also you may need additional filtration.
Great Video!! Mads I often think, of how many cruising adventurers have accomplished what you have done, along with Ava, in the totally extensive rebuilding of Athena. I don't thing I am overstating the smarts you have in regards to software based equipment. People should be in awe of what you have achieved. By the way, Ava does not seem to require any direction from yourself when it comes to her role as an integral part of the crew. From this end of the computer screen, Ava just gets on with it when you are docking or anchoring, and so on. Oh!, and AVA, you have the natural ability for story telling, and make the little tours around the cities so interesting and funny as well. Who would have thought a few short years ago, that you would be sailing around the world with a Dane, whose long distant ancestors, as you quite rightly pointed out, had a very violent culture. 😊
Hi guys, glad you enjoyed your (short) stay at Porto. There is a lot more to see, when you return. As you are sailing south, I would suggest stopping at Berlengas (small island near Peniche), and power up that dive compressor. Some interesting shipwrecks to dive over there.
Hi , the home of English Port , there is an amazing trip up the river to the vin yard area and a lot of history about the drink and the families who started the industry . Another interesting video and thank you both .😃👍
We have 208 and 240 V here in Americaland. But it is 60 Hz, not 50 Hz. A 240 V 60 Hz motor will usually run fine on 230 V 50 Hz. Just a bit slower. Still I agree it is best to make the purchase in Euroland.
It was a pity they had already left the beautiful city of Porto. With a little more time having tried 2 dishes from the land, tripe a moda do porto and frassesinha. In Figueira da Foz there is good fish, as the Pasteis de Belem are on their way to Lisbon, stop in Setubal to try a fried cuttlefish. All are traditional dishes. Sorry my english is not the best.
My wife is often cold in the cockpit too. She has her foulies on, layers of fleeces, silk long underwear and her hood cinched up tight around her face while I sometimes just have shorts and a T-shirt on with a fleece jacket and a wool watch cap. We all have different comfort levels.
At 7:20 I’m sure you said you had bought something that was absolutely bog standard. I rewound several times but I keep hearing the same. Please confirm this was an issue with the edit 😂😂
That was a really interesting observation. The Red light on the harbour wall prohibiting you from leaving the harbour. Is that red light standard for all harbours. Or just unique to that harbour ? Sorry I'm not a sailor but follow your channel and it the first time anybody has mentioned this subject. Ta Graham
A couple of years back a very experienced german crew got hammered by a wave at Cabedelo. I think only one survived and sadly one of the Portuguese SAR died too.
I watched a very very scary sailing video a few days ago ..I was wondering if you know how to shut down a diesel engine runaway I hope so because if you don't Athena could go up flames and sink shortly after.......
Ya might check out using a fishing Yoyo! Been using them for years from our boat. Did a short RUclips vid on it. They WORK GREAT and ya can get them from many places in the US. Can send a link if interested.
I really enjoy Ava's travel guides. She does a great job and her enthusiasm is infectious.
Yes indeed! The detail shots are great along with the history briefs. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the pictures from Porto, where I started my journey across the Atlantik at the beginning of this year! Greetings from Costa Rica!
9:45 ... Sweet Mother of Pearl ... Best of luck to you Mads.
Ava's talks about the areas are fun.
Figuiera da Fox is beautiful! Take advantage of the time. The Portuguese are the best people you will find!
The way Ava chooses was an 'norwegian style' one.😄great job, Ava.
I clicked 👍 early then wanted to 👍a couple more times. It should count as 2 when we toggle on->off->on.
I can't get enough of Sail Life, love every episode keep it up.
LOL, "see you guys next week for ...err...ummm....whatever, um, really stay tuned"! very funny . BTW I Loved the tour of all the tiled houses in the fishing village. Thanks for another fun video

Very much behind the curve of spiffiness thanks to you both
Your vids have come up for me several times. But I've watched hundreds of refit DIY ones so haven't watched your stuff. This... subbed and going to watch some more.
Live the life you love. Love the life you live. 💪♥🇩🇰
Amazed your boat wasn't damaged in that bad weather against that dock
i love Ava's travel guides.Happy Holidays Guys.
You guys are great! You need to double the length of your VLOGS! By 2023 each one should be a feature length film! I loved Ava's description of the different building facades! I don't think she repeated herself in any of them! Too bad you had to tie up in the marina's "red light' district!
Welcome to Portugal. Enjoy your stay.
I do enjoy a good glass of port. Have fun in Portugal.
Based on the sign off and closing tag to this episode, I see that the rigor of finely crafted and scripted videos has been wind swept and cruise-life time-warped. I LOVE IT! Keep on with the improv and au natural. Looks like your shifting into a beautiful cruising life. Chef’s kiss 🤌🏼😘
Porto is a beautiful city. One of my other favorite RUclipsrs, Get Hands Dirty, lives there, and the view from their place is amazing.
Enjoy your time in figasomething. I for one am curious as to next week's content. Stop motion shorts of mergulls perhaps?
Looks like you'll both have lots of time to sort out where and how to install the spiffy new compressor 😀
Safety ! Noticed last episode Ava was handing the mooring lines to dock hands and no PFD was being worn. You all have a great channel and no being safe could cost it all. Love watching . Watch a lot since Athena came home with Mass. Till next Sunday:

Really enjoyed the field trip. Thanks for taking us along.
Wellcome to Portugal Mads and Ava!! Have a great time!!!

Those tile walls are just incredible. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.
Wow, what a view of Porto.
So cool to see you reaping the rewards of the all the effort put into restoring and refitting your yacht. Love the Portugal segment, so far!

Welcome to Porto, the greatest city in Portugal ehehe. I also recommend that you try food like francesinhas or feijoada.
Guys great videos! I'm based in Sagres, Cape Saint Vincent where I have a diving school, I ´m now restoring an old HRassy in the yard at Portimão, thanks for sharing your boat refit it has been very useful. I have a mooring in Sagres harbor if you like to stop by, you can tigh up. it's a lovely fishing village.... It would be awsome to meet when you get down south Portugal.
When stuck in Figueira, take a trip to Coimbra- the old University and Library.
Moin Mads!
I think it would be nice for every one to know the 'production date' of each Episode. Maybe there can be a date Info (week or so) in the trailer or the Description?
When you Go back in time you can never Know this...
Fair Winds!
Welcome to the most beautiful country in the world! (I'm not saying that because my wife is Portuguese!🤣🤣🤣)
Great video as always, and great musical choices this time to boot!
We look forward to your videos every week! They’re ALWAYS enjoyable. So glad you’re safely tucked away. 😎💕💕💕

Not sure why but I love watching you guys get new stuff
It feels like I’m traveling with when you give us your toor. Love that, please continue on doing that.
Love Mads' technical DIY but Ava is such a wonderful tour guide finding the less traveled places.
Really good video. One like is not enough, it should be 1000!😃

May I ask what the currant draw is on your shiny new compressor, and also wondering what size inverter you have.
You guys are great. I am sure you will make the most of every stop on your journeys!
Welcome to Porto my home city!
What a beautiful city!! What an amazing place .. an Ho, Ho, Ho happy holiday....
This episode was great fun!! ✌🏼💗😊
Maria Pia Bridge was constructed by Gustave Eiffel 1877. The same Eiffel who constructed a tower in Paris!!!!
Grrrl got her miniatures fix!!

it is what it is and just enjoy the stay and maybe you could work on the mounting the air compressor. take care and have a great week ahead
Really beautiful. Wow walk

Surf's up bro! Time to go to Nazare! :O Hope you all have a great time...uh...relaxing?
Thanks you two!! Enjoying your travels.
enjoy your touristy days :)
Stuck in port? Time for a road trip!
Love you guys x
It feels like 5 years since you're giving us a proper boat tour. Do it!
Porto looks very nice 2x👍
Awesome videos!
Ava can find the most interesting things to point out.
Was 'Westwird' from Harlingen by any chance? The 'Zeezeilers' school has a boat named like this that is often down there during winter!
At 7:20 I’m sure you said you had bought something that was absolutely bog standard. I rewound several times but I keep hearing the same. Please confirm this was an issue with the edit 😂😂

Can you post the link to the bars site mentioned at 14:50?
Moar outtakes!!!
A couple of years back a very experienced german crew got hammered by a wave at Cabedelo. I think only one survived and sadly one of the Portuguese SAR died too.
You failed to mention the most important piece of equipment aboard Athena. That blue fly swatter...
I can't be sure, was Mads excited to get his dive compressor? May be a little? Ha.
I’m wonder if you could mount the dive compressor on sliding rails.
I watched a very very scary sailing video a few days ago ..I was wondering if you know how to shut down a diesel engine runaway I hope so because if you don't Athena could go up flames and sink shortly after.......
Ya might check out using a fishing Yoyo! Been using them for years from our boat. Did a short RUclips vid on it. They WORK GREAT and ya can get them from many places in the US. Can send a link if interested.
Aaah Pastel de nata, Nice!!
Happy (Orca free) holidays from Montana !
About the fishing culture. Maybe that is why there are so many Portugese fishermen all over the east coast.
The streetviews after the port tasting were kinda shaky. Must have been good port after all 😁
Thanks for the videos
Diesel heaters won’t need servicing where you’re going to be doing the bulk of your diving…..(:
Oh, you mean Figueira da Foz. I love to pronounce that. Really not that difficult.
