Review of our first year sailing the Med - Sailing Helios S01E35
In March 2023 we flew from Australia to start this great adventure, a new chapter in our lives, living onboard a sailboat. We have spent the last year sailing the Mediterranean Sea - the south coast of France, the beautiful west coast of Italy including its spectacular islands, Sicily, Malta and then settling in Tunisia for winter.
We have been making videos of our adventures and we look back and review our trip, what we have learnt and whether it met our expectations.

Passage to Cap d’Agde – Sailing Helios S04E24

The forecast, however, has ot...
