Quarantined in Lagos Portugal
It’s not so bad being tucked away on our pier aboard Big Sky. We manage to get enough groceries and the store shelves are stocked. Each morning, I have a workout routine on the bow, and there’s a secluded back path where we can get some exercise walking through the wild flowers and back. Nobody is out on the streets. No planes fly overhead. Traffic on the main road is almost zero. People have taken the quarantine seriously as we all battle this virus.

COVID-19 exploded while we were in South Africa, and the window to return to Portugal was shrinking. We managed a route back to Portugal which resulted in four planes, one hotel, and two trains. Three days later, we were back aboard our beloved Big Sky and self isolating.

Visit: South Africa for updates on our trip.
