'It's definitely a flare - call the US coast guard!!!'| Episode 31
May 08, 2022 by Sailing Aequus | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:57 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode
We arrive at Cape May and lay the anchor down for the night after getting very wet and cold, what a difference a day makes!
We get up early the next day and explore the town of Cape May, we don’t find treasure but we find a little piece of heaven, a peanut shop, you are screwed if you have an allergy!
We head to a little restaurant in the town and discuss our sail plan to Sag Harbour and the time we think it will take.
We head back to Aequus and take a quick route past a boat that was going to cause a huge wake.
We wake up at the crack of dawn to start our journey to Sag Harbour
We have some wonderful sailing weather and are able to put both sails up
James cooks some nachos and I get to eat a whole chilly and can’t feel my mouth, James decides he should do a cookery book!
We have to motor at 5am as the wind dies. We finally get some wind and manage to sail again downwind
We make an emergency call to the US coastguard as we see a flare go off, after telling us what is happening, the US coastguard doubt their response to us, as they further question the situation. It becomes increasingly painful as they continue asking the same questions again and again and eventually conclude the situation. We hope they are right!!
We realise we are not going to make it to Sag Harbour in time as we face the sun going down and we still have a long way to go, we decide on plan B which is to head to Montauk.
We find our friend Mike on Ellipsis… we watch the sunset and Mikey decided the hill is our workout, likely he will be gone by dawn lol, knowing Mike
Next time aboard Aequus

Sailing Aequus
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
