My boat Galopin and I are waiting for Simone, our Perkins diesel engine to have her full makeover by Arona, greatest shade tree mechanic I know. We’re living here during Senegal’s rain season. Which offers the most surreal views and bitch slapping storms. And through all the wet and dry weather we get a lot done on Galopin thanks to the great pro artisan who get things done. Like my engine bilge. My dinghy. My main sail traveler. Just a few of the many things I can get fixed and serviced all in one place.

His story is one of an old geezer living the life of a full time sailor with all it’s perils and pleasures. So hang on, eat, dance, laugh, love and discover the world with him and his boat Galopin. It’s their Winded Voyage. A real living adventure series.
