Web series / Nomad Citizen Sailing : Total failure at Alvor


In the previous episode we found the crew of Nomad Citizen Sailing at anchor off Portimao in Portugal. In this new episode, they will try to discover the town of Alvor, but things are not going to go as planned.

The day begins for Daniela, Marvin and Tara with the delivery of the races on the beach in front of their anchorage. With a beautiful sunny day, they plan to visit the town of Alvor, located 6 miles from their anchorage and recommended by their Venezuelan neighbours.

This is their first navigation in Portugal and especially the first time they will be able to test their Code D since their new installation.

But once there, it was impossible to find a suitable anchorage. The first one is narrow and many boats have already dropped anchor and their large draught - 2.30 m - does not allow them to anchor anywhere because of the tide.

So we find them again in front of the big beach of Portimao, after a bitter failure to visit Alvor. But the family is still optimistic and to console themselves, they do a weightlifting session on the beach.
