Since I’ve departed on my Winded Voyage, I’ve become reacquainted with sayings like “Getting Even Keeled” in the context they originated. In this case getting even keeled really means getting a new balanced keel for Galopin. It hasn’t been easy, ...
The eternal question of shaving or not. Will I or will I not? The beard does not keep me from continuing on with Galopin's projects. It's almost the holidays and my Dear friend Daniel not only helps but is kind enough to invite me to his holiday party with...
Life on the hard it certainly is. I even got locked in one day and had to make a run for it. And got down and very dirty in that keel pit. But it's not a very big sacrifice knowing I'm going to have a really sound boat. And when I want to go I'm gonna take...
Living the dream of sailing off into the sunset means that sometimes you have to live high and dry. Galopin is on the dry dock and so am I. While we’re getting him ready to take on the oceans, home is on Galopin up on stilts. The retractable keel was an ...
I'm not the only one to have a dream of sailing off into the sunset. Here you'll meet several others who are preparing their boat for a big voyage. And I'm continuing to do so my myself. It's a big refit job, and seems to never end, but in the end it will ...
Work, work, work. After a quick stint in Switzerland to do a paying gig, I board a train to my dear Galopin to do more work. And thanks to Neptune, I’m working with one of the best boat pros in the area. As far as I’m concerned, Daniel is probably the ...
This episode is far from distant shores and beautiful people. It’s about getting into the inside of things. Galopin is like a living being with a wired and tube network that gives him life. His inner workings were tired and needed refreshing. In comes my...
We finally were sailing downwind. I had prepared my spinnaker three times and put it away. But third try was the one. That was quite a journey and learning experience.
Later a whole other journey begins. The insides of Galopin are opened up. This when a n...
Once upon a time there was a tortoise and a hare. Each on their sailboats, they raced along the coast of Catalonia. The tortoise was lagging behind the hare, but made steady progress to catch up. Moral of the story, if you want to be a sailor, don't be afr...
Navigating at night is really cool when you're in the middle of the ocean. But when you're near the coast and coming into port it's less cool and sometimes hot. After a nice sail from Tarragona, we get into Port Vale in Barcelona in the darkness and I end ...
My first time coming into a big port alone. And not just any port, Barcelona. It's amazing to sail into the heart of a city. You step out of your little floating home to walk around the city streets and shake out your sea legs. And then you get back into y...
It seemed the sea and weather played with us. Rocked our boats and trapped us in Palamos for hours. We made the best of it and continued down the coast the next day. It was a nice sail until my engine refused to start. Another test to pass. Getting into po...
Winded Voyage Season 2 is off on new adventures. With my sailing license in hand I go back to Galopin in Port Leucate France to set off on an key challenge to my sailing apprenticeship. Solo sailing for two weeks. I’m supported by co-star “Bix”, a co...
Winded Voyage Season 2 is here! New destinations, new projects, new friends are all coming together to take you along the journeys of an ordinary 55 year old man taking a new course in life. I've sold everything and moved into my Jeanneau Sun Fizz 40, Galo...
M.O.B. or Man Over Board is an exercise every sailor should practice and master. It's also something one hopes to never have to do. Our skipper Nico was adamant we get it right. It took several tries until we got right, and finally we did. It was our last ...
In Episode 34 we go for the final push to get back to Port Leucate before a forecasted Tramontane wind. On the way we cross paths we cargo ships, big cruiser and the one and only French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. As well as some dolphins, lotes of...
We leave Corsica behind to make a three day passage across the northern Mediterranean. Steph takes on another big tuna for a two hour fight. The passage is long and full of surprises along the way. One being a most extraordinary sunrise on the Corsican hor...
The medieval city Bonifacio teeters on top of tall limestone cliffs overlooking the sea on the island of Corsica. It has to be one of the most spectacular port entrances to sail into. But before arriving at this impressive sight, we left Sardinia cruising ...
We're stuck on the very southern tip of Sardinia due to force 7+ Beaufort scale winds at a town called Villasimius near Capo Carbonara. We haven't been on land for three days so a walk around in the sand and rocks felt great. We got acquainted with our nei...
Part three of our journey of a 1000M takes us across the southern Mediterranean from Minorca island to Sardinia. A three day passage that is highlighted by fishing two big tunas, magnificent sunrise sailing, dodging giant cargo ships and gusty slap in the ...
Here is part two of our twenty-one days at sea to complete our required 1000 nautical miles for the Swiss Competence for Ocean Yachting license. We explore a bit of Ciutadella. Learn about lighthouse signals from our skipper Nico. We cruise all around th...
Winded Voyage is really under way! No turning back. We haven't been on land since we left Port Leucate France. We leave mainland Spain behind for our first major passage. First overnight sail for me and Steph. I though it would be somewhat intimidating to ...
The 1000M around the Mediterranean journey starts in Switzerland and quickly takes us to Port Leucate to prepare for the journey. I'm with my brother Stephane as we are determined to get our Swiss Maritime licence. We meet friends, fix a few things get pro...
We are off to sail 1000M in the Med for 3 weeks. It's not part of this episode, but will be coming up next. Meanwhile, in this episode, sailing coach François demonstrates port manœuvres and I take on the Man Over Board exercise. The weather is stil cold...
