Sailing from Portimão to Culatra. First trip with no return!

First trip with no return. We are far from were its starts, far from the day we thought about "lets take boat lessons and learn how to sail, just for fun"  so now is the time, now, we are really doing it. Two years had pass since the first though, sometimes it look just as "an ideia" other times we were really focus on the project. But  time passed and step by step, we sold everything and the strings to land, confort and security start to be less and less. So, we are here, and despite of all the days we did sailing, this will be the first trip with no return. Our hearts were beating fast, not because is a difficult trip, but because the journey had started, and we set sail to culatra... 

So let me tell you a little bit about Culatra.

Culatra is a little fishing town sitting an a little island near Faro, South of Portugal.

It has a great and big anchorage area, a pontoon for the dingy, some restaurants/bars and a small market. Is peaceful and safe. 

First of all let me tell you about the sunsets and sunrises on this place, they are (see for yourself):




 And the town is very nice with a lot of personality, i will leave you with a post i did about culatra on instagram

After all the efforts and "Ups and downs", we were there. At the time, in that present moment it felt like a bird getting out of the egg shell. A new and exiting world was present in front of us, we didn't know what the future would bring, we didn't know how big the challenge wold be,  but we knew that for the first time we were really alive.
