#281 We're in the not-so-terrible position of being stuck on the Azores. Our old foe The Weather has delayed our departure for Madeira but nevertheless we're making the most of it. Join us for some roaming around on Faial and some of our last moments on th...

#279 Thanks so much to our patrons on http://bit.ly/SLVPatreon for making these videos possible x
We're sooooo excited to get in the air. Our friends have come to the Azores and on their expert advice we're heading to the mountainous Pico Island to get the...
#278 Thanks for your support on Patreon (http://bit.ly/SLVPatreon)
Being offered 10 million dollars via email. Crazy right? Would you have replied to the email? Are we naive to think it could have been real? We'll never truely know what went on there.
We'...

This is boat life and we're getting our life on the road again and hitting the waves. After some truly Top Gun piloting from yours truly to escape the marin...
#276 It's truly one of the best walks we have done. What is this place?? We go on a massive descent down the hills of Sao Jorge, hiking on to a little surf village. The Azores have been dotted by these beautiful settlements by the sea but this one might ju...
#275 Utterly perfect day for a spot of spearfishing don't ya think?
We get the full Azores spearfishing experience with our new doctor friends, we've traded sails for engines and we're speeding around some of the best spots here in the middle of the Atlan...
#274 Seasickness..... It really messes with your head but fingers crossed we can resolve it and get back to the glory days of not feeling ill on sail. It certainly doesn't worry Lenny.
Sometimes you just gotta go for it, change it up, break some plans. So...
#273 That's a lot of days of sailing. Hope we calculated that correctly.... Join us back in the Azores as we slowly make our way towards Sao Jorge! We catch up with Pete who you might remember helped us out with some rigging back in this episode (https://w...

Thank you to our patrons for supporting this video. This video was not sponsored and is purely my own opinion. I wonder at the size and agility of the cat which has been placed amongst the pigeons.
This video took quite a bit of work to pull together, we d...

#270 Equipped with the best local advice (thank you Nuno and Julia!), we're moving onwards from Ponta Delgada. Thus far we've only hit the first island of the Azores and we're making tracks...
#269 It's certainly feeling like we're never gonna leave Ponta Delgada. This time though it's because of the mounting pile of tasks, dodgy ovens and fibreglass repairs. La Vaga is looking more like a construction barge than home right now. As much as we wa...
#268 Hello, yeah, look, we blew up the quadbike. Or it blew up on us. And it wasted our day. And it gave out in the middle of a highway and we nearly melted in the sun. And yet, yet, this is the Azores. And being the Azores, nothing can actually go that fa...
#267 "I don't get blown away like this ever, I'm a jaded old traveller..."
It was all worth it. Out in the middle of the Atlantic is a paradise we can barely describe and we're so lucky to be here given that 2020 was, well, a 2020 of a year. Seriously, thi...
#266 "I think I'm missing certain parts of my memory, I think they're stuck to a cotton swab..."
Look it's not the most pleasant of welcomes, but we're happy to prove we're not harbouring the virus. Because the Azores, guys! Finally!
These are truly some ...
#265 "I've never been this sick before..."
It's pretty rough when you have some bad seasickness which you can't escape. Lenny and Riley at the helm as we wrangle some bad weather at the very first stretch of our foray into the Atlantic. The Azores better b...
#264 It's all sun and games on the coast. Sheltered coves, predictable winds, calm sleep. We had some really good times in the Portuguese summer, it's been great. But something makes us wanna go out into the big wild Atlantic, out of the protection and pea...

#261 Life in close quarters can be full on when you're carting your life around on a boat together, so we're spending a bit of time apart as we head back westwards along southern Portugal.
We want to take the varnish off and speak our mind about some issu...
