The Swells Are TOO BIG - Get Me OFF This BOAT!! (MJ Sailing - Ep. 162)
September 30, 2020 by MJ Sailing | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:28 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
While in the Helford River, we knew that we were getting Elements scheduled for a survey in Falmouth, and if she sold, this would be our last time out fully enjoying the cruising life. No schedules, just bumming around with friends, and sitting around enjoying sunsets.
We take a stunning hike ashore in the afternoon where everything is SO GREEN that it almost feels unreal. When we get back to Elements, there are some bad swells rolling in due to the exposed nature of the anchorage, and so we happily take a few hours to get off the boat by having a bonfire ashore with our new friends on Polaris.
Going from glass calm our first night to rocking and rolling all over 48 hours later, I don’t think it’s the kind of tranquility either of us were expecting when we first arrived!
Much love from Cornwall!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie

Sailing the world to see the world! We're a couple of high school sweethearts in our late 30's that have been on the move for 9 years; creating videos of the ups, the downs, our triumphs and our trials. After circumnavigating the North Atlantic in our last boat Serendipity, (1989 Sabre Targa 34), we took on a 2 year complete refit of our new boat Elements of Life - a custom aluminum 37' monohull. After sailing her to the Arctic, we sold her in 2020 to begin our newest project of building a 42 ft catamaran.
