Ibiza Old Town & Unexpected Wildlife | Helios S04E09
After a refreshing morning workout in the cockpit, we set sail back to Ibiza! This time, we head into the stunning Old Town (Dalt Vila) for some exploration.
The crossing is wonderfully calm, and we're thrilled when a pair of dolphins come to play right beside the boat as we approach our anchorage.
We treat ourselves to a delicious vegetarian paella with a view, and catch-up with our good friends Stu & Di from @thecampbellgamble. There's plenty of boaty camaraderie as Stu shows Richard how to clean a carburettor and Jude makes them a new outboard cover. This is what the sailing community is all about — helping each other out on the water!

Passage to Cap d’Agde – Sailing Helios S04E24
After waiting a day for better weather and getting some rest, we leave at night, sailing to Cap d’Agde — the only window that keeps us clear of strong westerlies around Toulon. This is the final leg of a week of sailing that has taken us from the west coast of Italy, near Naples, all the way to the...
Leaving Italy for the Caribbean: Sailing Helios S04E23
Our visitors have gone and it’s time to get going. This is as far east as we sail this season. From here we turn around and start heading west — west all the way to the Caribbean. First, though, we have a date in Canet in mid-August. With a break in the westerlies, we need to make haste and get mov...
Italian coastal adventures: Ponza and Gaeta
We’re back in Ponza after sailing across from Sardinia. The island is as pretty as we remembered — a colourful Italian seaside town with a long and surprising history — and we have a few quiet days before Richard’s youngest son, Oakley, joins us on his European holiday. The forecast, however, has ot...
Crossing the Tyrrhenian to Ponza – Soft Sailing Before Italian Summer Hits – Sailing Helios S04E21
It’s time to leave Sardinia and cross the Tyrrhenian Sea to the small Italian island of Ponza. This passage is pure soft sailing — light winds, gentle seas, and those quiet, beautiful hours at sea that make everything else feel worthwhile. Ponza may be small, but it carries a long and fascinating hi...
The Maddalenas’ Secret Beach You Can’t Photograph
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. We swim, we paddle, and we kayak across to a beach where clothes are optional and cameras are off — so this...
