Sailing from Culatra to Ayamonte. Of Portugal we go, and Spain were we go!

 Small trip to Ayamonte, but our first (of more to come) dangerous mistakes!

So we wanted to go and stop on the frontier between Portugal and Spain, we needed to buy a Spanish SIM card for de internet and we wanted to say hello to Soraia's mother that live in Ayamonte, and buy some stuff from the nautic store there.

The store name is Ayamar, have a many things and good prices.

And of course we wanted to start our food and drinks journey.

TAPAS AND CANÃS!!!

So, and this is important, let me explain for those who don't know what are tapas.

TAPAS are small dish's that cost around 3 or 3,5€ depending of the place, and they can be so many different things. Like small "tortilha" (eggs batatos and onion), "Croquetas" small fried pasta with meat, Small salades and more, much more.

And canã is beer, simple as that.

So we arrive at  Ayamonte and we anchor on the river, and that was our big mistake, let me explain why...

First we knew that bad weather was coming , but we also knew that will be more severe the next day, when we plan to be on the marina. 

And that was our first mistake, because bad weather before even worst weather, normally means that the weather will be already very bad and the forecast is not perfectlyyyy right. HAHAHA

So we anchor and we draft 90m, we didn't sleep nothing because of anchor alarm going off all night, and all the things that was going on. 

We didn't use a rope between the chain and the boat to realease tension.

Over all, was a mess 😮‍💨

The next day we went to the Marina, and a leave you with the video of that.

After that we meet with Soraia's mother and we go out to enjoy the city.

See you on the next Stop, fair winds!
