4 days at sea, NO WIND!!! | SAILING AEQUUS Episode 23
November 26, 2021 by Sailing Aequus | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:29 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
– As we continue our 4-day journey towards America, we have issues with the wind throughout the whole trip.
– We pull in and out the code zero and the other sails more times than we can count..
– However, we are blessed for the amazing GULF STREAM which has pushed us along, albeit between 3 and 4 knots, but this was not to be sniffed at.
– We surpass ourselves and catch another fish.
– We meet Mike our friend in the middle of the ocean! I am slightly nervous as the last time Mike met us at sea we broached and Mike got very close and nearly collided..
– We approach Moorhead City and the channel is busy
We finally ‘put our anchor down’ and after not seeing Mike for nearly 16 hours after he turned his engines off and drifted away from us at sea, he finally emerges and anchors near us
– The anchoring in the bay at Moorhead City is very tight although it looks like there is loads of room..
– We head into the dock and it is TOUCH DOWN in the US!!!!

Welcome to our channel and thank you for being here. After 2.5 years of sailing full time we thought we would share our wonderful journey across the sea with you. After a trip to South Africa to visit close relatives, we met a guy called Darryl.. he was a sailor who had started his sailing adventure back in the 1980's buying his first boat at the age of 28, he told us some awe inspiring stories that literally captured James' heart and mind! He was hooked....line and sinker... With barely any experience between the two of us, we bought a Bavaria C57, ''a bit like my flat in London'' is what I said. With that, the deal was done and there was no turning back. James sold his business, I left my career in London, and that was it, we had 6 months to prepare and get ourselves ready for the biggest challenge of our lives.... Hope you enjoy watching Philippa x
