SDA186 Whales, Wind & Ribs
May 17, 2025 by Sailing Dark Angel | Language: EN Play Time: 00:17:55 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, we weigh anchor at Elizabeth Harbour and finally set sail for the remote and breathtaking Conception Island. Along the way, Dave discovers damage to our port trampoline, but with the spinnaker flying and ribs slow-cooking in the galley, we settle into one of those rare, peaceful passages. And just when the day couldn’t get any better, we see whales for the very first time.
By the way, at around the 2:00 minute mark, Dave says “it’s a west wind and we’re sailing west to Conception”. We were actually sailing east to Conception.

Sailing Dark Angel
We're Lisa & Dave. We love to travel anywhere warm and friendly, to explore, meet new people, see new places, and share what we see. Sailing Dark Angel is our unscripted tale of learning a whole new life. Freedom and adventure on the water, living an alternative lifestyle. We decided our YouTube channel would reflect the new experiences and discoveries we make. We don't have a ton of experience for 'how-to' videos and the only advice we offer is to get out and live life. Don't wait for it to come to you. We hope to inspire people the way we've been inspired. Join us aboard Dark Angel, our beautiful 2006 Island Spirit Fortuna 401 catamaran. Share our dreams and adventures with us
