My house seems at times a black and white film. Some groups above 45 years and others with less than 30 years, all at the same time. It's a great mix of colors. I like that. They are very active, enjoy being in water all day, come home and mingle if necessary all night, talk a lot. With these people feel I rejuvenate every day by walking around the globe, sitting in my chair.
Maktub is a resting place for my tribe, when there are regattas; here are these crazy kids, my friends, who travel long distances in boats so small, I respect them very much. Every two years, we met here. We lived. We tell our stories. Now also receives other types of radicals, paragliding, hovering over the mountain and bike riders. Young crazy people who go down the slopes with their bikes, I do not know how because there are no paths set for this purpose and I also welcome the walkers. Those who want to walk I taken them hiking on paths of great beauty that exist in this area. I am not a trained guide, but every now and then I gather a group of people and we do three days' march. I love walking. I'm at sea, or at the mountain. The balance does me well. Now I have a bar, which is also called Maktub, in Paul do Mar is a special place where there are no televisions or other distractions, is a bar were without knowing anyone you start talking. The music is reggae and also my face. It's my other house.
There is Sebastiao, Sebastian for foreigners. If you come to my house you will know him. It is a very special dog; already ply the seas, a thousand adventures shared with me and my daughter, Andrea. I only brought him on board as a puppy, because she asked me. He loves the sea. Like all my children. It's a great traveling companion. He growls when it senses that something is wrong. He doesn't makes his needs the vessel, rather goes to the bow. Now, he's older, likes it more being on land. Sometimes disappears for days, go with people he cares about go through the mountain, or even to the house of some neighbor, until one day it our daily news we saw a photograph of him, we were surprised, is the friendliest animal I know. He only barks to three people. Do not like them. They live here and they were nasty to him, Sebastian does not forget. He is known throughout the island. In the world. He has even entered the Madrid metro and there was never any problem. The one thing he lack it's to talk.
Then there's Andrea, my daughter. My right arm in Maktub. An accomplished sailor and surfer. All my children were taught to love the sea. She is no exception. It started as a punishment; she was not progressing in school and came with me on a journey. She is the lady of the house, which provides everything, including beauty treatments to our guests. So if you like what you read, come here and be happy.
