What a Day in the Maddalenas Actually Looks Like | Sailing Helios S04E19
Crystal-clear bays, a quick paddle to a quiet beach, and pizza on the mainland — this is what a day in the Maddalena National Park really looks like.
We spend a relaxed day exploring one of Sardinia's most beautiful cruising grounds. The Maddalenas are known for their easy-access anchorages and stunning coastline, and this episode captures exactly that — a morning sail into the park, finding our spot in a lively bay, launching the kayak for a beach stop, and wrapping up back on the mainland with beer, pizza and a parcel pickup.
No drama, just life on the water in one of the Med's best-kept secrets.

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...
We Found a Boat Made of Rocks and Plastic Bottles!
We found an electric sailing catamaran built from volcanic rock and recycled plastic bottles. First, we tour the factory, then the boat, then we take her sailing. This episode starts at the Windelo yard to see how they build a durable, lightweight performance catamaran at a competitive price — with...
We Didn’t Plan to Stop in Canet – Here’s Why We Had To – Sailing Helios S04E25
We didn’t plan to come back to Canet-en-Roussillon. A few weeks ago the plan was to return west through the Balearic Islands. Then a chance encounter with some fellow Aussies changed everything — and we found ourselves heading back to Canet, the marina where we first laid eyes on Helios in May 2023...
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...
