Running From the Wind, Coastguards and Tankers Ep72

#howtosail #sailingspain #smallboatsailing
After finishing schooling in the nearest town, the boys had a go at racing the happy cat on their optimist before more high winds were forecast so we decided to move on further North and discreetly cross provinces to find shelter.
We soon realised that the coastguards were more concerned with how we tied onto the buoy than where we had come from or where we were going.
The journey along the Spanish coast was full of tankers and we found ourselves dodging huge ships in an unofficial shipping channel.
In this video, we try to talk a bit more about how we set our sails…after a special request from one of our patreons…..we hope you like it !

Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing
We're a UK family who have saved over many years to live the dream of travelling the world with our kids. We sold our belongings, closed our business and rented our house to buy a 20 year old sailboat . We want to show the kids that there is a bigger world out there and to appreciate the simple things in life, things that you find in the sea, the woods, up mountains, along the beach , the sky and the stars. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of a live-aboard life! From buying a boat to homeschooling the kids, from cooking on a budget to making money while we travel, from sailboat maintenance to visiting amazing places - join our journey and share in our world adventure, as well as the challenges of family life, through our series of video blogs.
