In the early hours of a September Monday morning, three friends set off from the harbour near Sagres in south west Portugal. They were attempting to stand up paddle all 160kms across the Algarve in 5 days. This is the story of how they prepared for this trip and what happened on a day by day basis. Lots of laughs and an incredible fun time led to the question: was this a holiday or an expedition?
