Exploring under sail

Time is becoming even more precious as our tidal sailing adventure comes to an end for this year. We have finally managed to free up some time and are planning to explore the upper reaches of the river Guadiana that separates Spain and Portugal. This area shows whats cruising is all about and with an excellent blend of river/lagoon anchorages and marinas, it is challenging without being too restrictive and tests your skill at every level. This week we are heading up river, there are no charts other than the pilot book despite being able to penetrate upto 25 miles inland. The fishing gear, nature books and camera are primed as we hear that the wildlife is superb,  visit our facebook page for pictures.
Most Sea Schools concentrate on sail training in their local area, our ethos is different, we believe that a sailboat is for exploring and thats exactly what we set out to do, the more places we visit the more we learn and because everything is fresh and exciting our enthusiasm never dulls.
Unfortunately those that could not join us this year have now missed the boat, however just like the tide we will be back, it won't be until next year but this fantastic area is not to be overlooked and with so much still to discover I am looking forward to coming back even more.

Naked Lady spotted in Tomas Maestre

We have now closed the school for the 2010 season, El Rubicon has been totally stripped and winterised giving her a rather Naked appearance, strange on the eye considering she is normally laden with safety gear, sails, outboards, etc. However our Naked Lady will be fully dressed once again next year when we return from Asia in April to continue sail training courses and yacht charters in Spain. You can still contact us in the normal manner or drop us an email and anyone looking to sail in paradise can join us in Asia as part of a relaxing sailing holiday or to further RYA qualifications in Tidal waters.
