The castaways reportedly arrived on the 1st and were attempting to sail south towards Cascais or Lisbon. “We didn’t say much, they just asked us where the supermarket was and then we warned them. We couldn’t tell if they had been making similar trips for many years or if they had any experience,” the couple says. Upon learning of the fatal outcome, they expressed regret that the sailing ship’s crew “decided to leave, which we could not avoid.” “We were shocked.”
