First Look at Our EZRaft Dinghy + Induction Cooktop Install & Good Friday in Spain
Welcome to Season 4 of Sailing Helios! 🎉
After a long off-season, we’re getting the boat ready for another year of adventures. We kick things off by finally putting our brand new EZRaft inflatable dinghy in the water for its first test run — how does it perform?
While Jude builds beautiful new dressers for the summer, Richard tackles a major galley upgrade: installing a new induction cooktop and completely rethinking the storage.
After a productive day, we head into town for Friday night drinks with the local cruiser community… It’s Good Friday, and another spectacular parade is taking over the streets of Cartagena! What was meant to be a quick trip to the bar turns into a fun, immersive evening soaking up the culture and community of Spain.

After a short hop along the Maddalenas, we tuck into a secluded anchorage and slow right down — a few days away from the hectic world, with nothing but calm water, warm sand, and no schedule.
