Yep, La Vagabonde reached 22.7 knots boat speed. We couldn’t believe it. With a max of 28 knots wind behind us from about 120 degrees, we surfed down one wave and then caught the next one in front of that. Before we knew it we were all looking at a 22.7 ...
In Search of Fish in Corsica (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 106

A Race in the Rain to pick up our Lucky Patrons (Sailing La Vagabonde) Ep. 108
Riley always talks about how the only thing that should be dictating your sailing plans, are the weather and repairs. When you have a schedule to keep, more often that not, things just don’t like to run smoothly. We would have loved to hang out in Bonifa...
