Thanks for the tip of the São Jacinto anchorage - looks dreamily calm but close to things. Will be there later this year, following in your wake.

Cheers Bruce! It's a super safe anchorage and we were very confident leaving Kittiwake there for 10 hours at a time. Sao Jacinto is a little weird - it feels like it's an abandoned ghost town, but the dunes are worth the walk through the desolated streets. There are a couple of mini markets hidden away in secondary streets (visibile on Google Maps).
We highly recommend taking the ferry to Aveiro - this cute little town really took us by surprise.
For Porto, if you visit from Sao Jacinto, it's a bit of a trek (dinghy, ferry, bus and train). For us, it was worth the peace of mind of not being stuck up in Porto in the pricey marina, in case the port closed. We didn't check, but it may well have closed down in those 30+ knots of wind.
Wishing you the very best of luck for this season, Bruce. Elena & Ryan

Great video as always! :-) Exciting part about you sailing at night and in fog. Do you have a radar reflector? It is a very cost effective way for small vessels to significantly improve their odds of being seen on other ships' radars. One might think the mast would be enough as a reflector, but it's rounded shape isn't very well suited because it reflects the radar signal in all directions and will appear weak on the screen. A radar reflector's square angles does a very good job reflecting the signal back to the other ship and you will appear as a much stronger echo on their radar screen. A reflector doesn't use any battery and it is much, much cheaper than an AIS (or other types of transponders).

Hello Elena and Ryan :-) Good to hear that you have one. Without it, your radar signature would be weaker and more confusing. Large ships usually have a 24/7 radar with an automatic collision warning system that triggers on echos over a certain strength (just so it won't sound for every reflected wave). That's why a strong echo/signature is important. But, as you said, it isn't of much use if there's no radar, much the same as with AIS transmitters/receivers and all the other nav equipment. I'm sure you'll have good use of your AIS receiver. It is a great way of seeing some of those who are around you. Stay awesome and have fun on the seven seas! :-)

Cheers Tom!
We have a radar reflector permanently mounted high up on the mast. However, we don't really trust radar - we've heard people say the signals are often weak and confusing and not all boats have one or bother to use it (especially in crowded fishing areas). We've saved up and bought a basic AIS receiver now, which should make things a little easier.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting :) Elena & Ryan
