“The weather was very windy and they should have cancelled the tour. But they didn't. We didn't make it to the Ria Formosa due to the windy weather. We only paddled up the cove by old run down homes with barking dogs. The guild gave us NO information and did not stay with us. He was always far ahead. The kayaks had no back support and the paddles had no grips, just metal.”
