We have found great new owners for Njord and we will be passing her on to her new owners on May 1, 2023.

We have had the most amazing seasons sailing her in the UK from June 2012 and then from May 2014 in the Med until April 2023; 11 fabulous years of Njord’s glorious adventures

The year has started off with very cool evenings and cold overnight, the days very windy but with some beautiful sunny days. This weather is somewhat different to the previous winters we have spent here, but then the weather in the UK and rest of Europe has been unusual too.

This photograph was taken mid January on our pontoon by Njord. I managed to do my yoga practice this particular day here as there was no wind at all, beautiful.

Vessel Name: Njord of London
Vessel Make/Model: Malo 39 Classic
Crew: Vic Farhi & Clare Harrison
About: Learnt to sail together and the first sailing experience was in Lanzarote in 2005. We then bought Mandarin, a Bavaria 39 and in June 2012 bought Njord, a Malo 39 from the Baltic.
Extra: As attributed to Mark Twain: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

The beach at Porto de Mos looking towards Rocha Negra. Around the promontory is Luz
A beautiful beach at Salema for sunbathing which was deserted when visited in January

At Almadena the small local fishing boats are dragged back onto the slipway by the village
Looking towards the surfing beach in Almadena from one of the pretty terraces above the old Customs House.
Below is a pretty secluded beach which you can only get to by boat. This is just infront of the exclusive golf and spa resort, Cascades in Lagos
The cliff face on the coastal walk just above the grottos at Ponta da Piedade.
On our January walk we were trying to walk around this headland, Rocha Negra to get to Luz. However we were walking too slowly and once on the beach at Porto de Mos it was obvious that we were not going to make it before the tide came in.
Early January cliff top walk from Ponta Da Piedade, the promontory before Lagos Bay, towards Praia do Canavial

New Year
Chocolate cup cakes waiting to be baked and baked. They were delicious

Not exactly The Algarve! We went on a trip back to the UK and stayed with our good friends Robert & Deborah. They took us to Stourhead Gardens a National Trust property for a Sunday walk. It was a beautiful autumn day, cool and crisp

Luz, near Lagos in The Algarve
Looking from the restaurant terrace at Fortaleza da Luz.
The gardens at Fortaleza da Luz looking towards the church in the main square in Luz. This (now) privately owned 17th century fortress is a great place for lunch on the terrace or dinner in the baronial hall with its candlelit vaulted ceiling
The views from these villas in the centre of Lux are stunning over the bay
View from the Fortaleza da Luz terrace and looking West towards Sagres
Praia de D. Ana, This is one of the many Lagos beaches. It is very tranquil and sheltered bay
Praia de D. Ana looking towards Lagos bay. There are several coves and inlets along this part of the coast which link the beaches together
Praia de D. Ana. Praia is the Portuguese for beach.
In the back ground is the Ponta de Sagres that we sailed around. This brings you to a semi-circular bay where you can anchor if the conditions are right
Sagres bay
The Church of Our Lady of Luz is a renaissance chapel from the 16th century in the small fishing village of Luz. It has been carefully restored
The coast looking West from the main square in Luz. Luz has a rocky coast line here with clear water lapping the rocks. There are small (renovated) fisherman

Marina Suite Hotel. As a berth holder we can use the swimming pool and for a reduced cost the gym, jacuzzi and sauna. The sauna is probably not required in the summer as it is beautifully hot during the day.

Roman Villa in Vilamoura
Remains of a roman villa in Vilamoura: Remains of a noble mansion and a public spa which is testament to how important the Roman presence was in the region
