In an attempt to escape from the recent run of windy, wet winters in Southern England I have it in mind to sail Southwards next autumn. One area I have been considering is the Algarve in Southern Portugal. I am, however, concerned that maybe the winter weather factor is not that much better than UK. I would plan on visiting the Algarve for several short trips during the winter and then return to UK in springtime (I am aware this is not so easy as it sounds). Could anyone that has done this please offer advice and any recommendations of suitable marinas for the winter.
Alternatively, recommendations on better locations within 1000 miles of Southern UK would be most welcome.
