The Voyage of 'S/V Röde Orm'

Ria Formosa is a huge National Park, 170 square kilometers and today we explored the little part of it consisting of Ilha Culatra. Just the northern part of this island took us a good 5 hours.

Long beaches, the little bay with all the long-term live-aboards, sand dunes and nothing much more.... well, one thing is not very nice about it.... it's garbage everywhere, plastic crap and beached floatsam piling up at some spots. Unfortunately this impression ruins a bit of the experience.
