Time is running out, and there’s still a mountain of work to do before we can set sail! In this episode, we test our brand new Seldon mainsail cars, give the mainsail a much-needed deep clean, and then dive into the big installation of our new Lookout AI camera system.
Richard spends over two hours at the top of the mast pulling new cables for the camera and upgrading the VHF system — and of course, not everything goes to plan! Meanwhile, Jude is back at the sewing machine as we finally solve the tricky boom tent project with a clever fix that makes it all come together.
Boat life, technical upgrades, problem-solving, and pre-departure prep — the real side of sailing life on Helios!

We Sailed to Gibraltar and Climbed Inside the Rock’s Wartime Tunnels – S04E31
Gibraltar is our last stop in the Mediterranean and the jump-off point for the passage south to the Canaries. We sail in and anchor in the bay off La Línea, which gives us a great view of the Rock — even when morning fog rolls in and most of it disappears. Then the engine refuses to start. We suspe...
Exploring the Streets of Granada – Sailing Helios S04E30
We take a break from sailing and head inland from our marina in Motril to explore the historic city of Granada. A short train ride brings us into one of Spain’s most storied places — a city with over 2,700 years of history that has shaped cultures, kingdoms and daily life for millennia Granada does...
Stepping Back in Time on Richard’s 60th Birthday – Exploring Salobreña – Sailing Helios S04E29
It’s Richard’s 60th birthday and we’re spending a few days at Motril Marina on Spain’s Costa Tropical. We borrow bikes from the marina and ride through the countryside to the historic hill town of Salobreña. Built on the slopes of a rocky promontory, Salobreña’s old town rises above sugar-cane fiel...
We Forgot to Open the Seacocks! Light Wind Sail to Motril – Sailing Helios S04E28
Almost fried the engine minutes out of Cartagena. After finishing the service, we left the seacocks closed — and only caught it once we were already underway. This is the slow leg sailing southwest along the Spanish coast toward Motril Marina. Light air, glassy nights in open bays, and a passage th...
6 Days of Sailing, Sunrises and Thunder – Sailing Helios S04E27
We say goodbye to Canet-en-Roussillon and set off on a mission: reach Cartagena in just 6 days. That means a few overnight passages down the coast of Spain, and a forecast that just says "variable." So the plan is to make the best of whatever wind we get, and motor when it gives us nothing...
