Marina W Vilamoura

The marina in Vilamoura

W roku 2023, Marina w Vilamoura ponownie zyskała prestiżowy tytuł “Międzynarodowej Mariny Roku” przyznawany przez Stowarzyszenie Portów Jachtowych (TYHA). To już siódmy raz, a co więcej, trzeci rok z rzędu, kiedy ta przystań zdobyła to wyróżnienie. Chociaż osobiście nie jestem ekspertem w dziedzinie jachtów ani nie czuję wielkiego zamiłowania do samych rejsów, to mariny mają w sobie nieodparty urok, który przyciąga nawet tych, którzy niekoniecznie są pasjonatami żeglarstwa.



I enjoy watching the crew as they prepare for a voyage. The long checklist of tasks and equipment that needs to be properly stowed to meet the challenging conditions at sea. It somehow reminds me of prepping for a long road trip in a camper – everything has to be in its place for the journey to be comfortable 🙂

The atmosphere of marinas encompasses a whole spectrum of elements: various measuring devices, compasses pointing the way, precisely tied knots in ropes, anchors, faded and weathered planks tossed in a corner, and above all, the squawking seagulls bidding farewell and greeting travelers.

Sometimes I wonder how long I could last out on the open sea, confined to a small, relatively safe space... I think not very long, that's for sure .

Always on the move... though I do miss a little boredom from time to time 😉 Passionate about technology, photography, psychology, and getting lost in a good book. I love sports, especially anything on the water ... and I'm totally hooked on padel ;) By profession, I dive into the creative world of web design, visual branding, and digital projects… and I'm always up for the next challenge ;)
