Moving faster than the wind in the Gulf Stream: BUT WHO lost the fish, was it Philippa or James??
We can fish, we can’t fish, we can fish, we can’t fish – WE CAN FISH!!!! whohoooooo
In this episode, we have dinner at the dockside before leaving the next day towards America
Within 10 minutes into our journey we have already caught, not 1 but 2 fish, although we are not perfect at fishing, we cannot believe our luck and we use a more humane technique a friend of ours told us about.
There is very little wind and have to put the sails away and motor
We have a fresh feast for lunch with the delicious Mahi Mahi we had just caught
We question our sail plan as all the other boats that left Westend that morning were heading in a straight line towards Hatteras, we instead had decided to head up the Gulf Stream and hopefully, get pushed along by the tide.
James wakes up to a beautiful school of dolphins
I attempt to fish on my own but get into difficulty and need to wake James up much to his disgust, only to then lose the fish which was also a tuna on the end of the line, who’s fault was it!! Philippas or James’?
We realise we are moving faster than the wind
Philippa explains how to get diesel from jerry cans into the diesel engines on the boat

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
