Season 7 : Episode #149 : Diving at Little Fisherman's Cove and Welcoming our friends
Hello Friends,
On this weeks episode we explore Little Fisherman's Cove below the water. With great visibility we swim through some kelp forests and find someones lost anchor and see their chain wrap a...
Sailing in more squalls and even more squalls...I try to ride them at the best position so as not to get stalled in the lulls. We need to make it in as early as possible Tuesday morning otherwise the prefrontal conditions will slow us down too much...here's hoping we get in Grand Cayman asap.

After Gilson successfully changed my Cutlass bearing, we had to go and test drive Galopin. But before all that, we saved a boat from drifting. Organized a going away party for Peter. Cast off Peter and Ayrton on their journey across the Atlantic to Nova Scotia. Did a satisfying boat project and set ...
We have a small weather window to escape Cartagena....usually skirted with gale force winds, Chris Parker, the weather guru, has predicted a break of a day and a half so we must leave Friday to the Cayman Islands.
It all goes well although we are a bit late in leaving but we are blessed with beautif...
Taking the propeller off its shaft underwater to change the Cutlass Bearing is impossible some say. But in Cape Verde doing the nearly impossible is possible. We end our stay on the island of Santa Antao by visiting Dona Maria's charming hostel with a view. But back in Mindelo is wher the real ...
Greenland makes its own rules. Any port in a storm doesn't quite work if there is a glacier calving icebergs in 30+ knots of wind. Forced to leave our anchorage we set our sights on a tiny weather station where we hope to find refuge and perhaps even a friendly face.

We finally got to move the boat to a marina where we are able to live on it - thanks to the help of our amazing delivery captain! But as soon as we arrive at the marina, we are confronted with a tropical storm brewing off the coast threatening to upgrade to a full blown hurricane. We have to decide...
We buy an old sailboat and spend months working hard to fix it up during lockdown in the South of France. We live in the marina for 4 months working on refitting the boat to get our tiny home ready to sail full time. We take on the project of renovating our teak decks and install hot water, a shower...
We went to the island of Santa Antao for the weekend and stayed a week. The tiny coastal town of Cruzinhas has adopted us. Kids and adults come and visit us. There is an huge deserted beach I went to see and ventured swimming, alone. The girls put on a dance show and gets most of the town involved. ...
We set off for an easy late afternoon sunset sail but it's sailing and it can never just be easy. Right?! Ryan to the rescue yet again! Man am I happy I have such a smart dude onboard...and funny...and cute...and well, you know, his humor keeps me around too. ;) Enjoy!

What a feeling sailing the Florida Keys. Since the wind is still not cooperating for heading to the Bahamas we decide to explore Elliott Key, Key Largo and Pumpkin Key.
We start getting a taste of cruising warm weather as we snorkel in Biscayne Bay.
Some last provisioning in Key Largo and we wait ou...
Beauty comes in many for and is in the eye of the beholder. But behold a few of the places we visit on this wonderful island. As well as whom we visited with. All very beautiful. But you'll have to decide for yourself when you see the amazing village of Fontainhas and the warmth of Cruzinhas, a...

In each video we'll take a closer look at something that makes ou...
Covid19 is sill holding us hostage with our sailboats. But that doesn't mean we cant go out to sea. So we took the ferry across the Sao Vicente Canal to the island of Santa Antao. One of the most spectacular Cape Verde islands.The pandemic is still with us, as you will see and we must adapt. Bu...

Life is slowly passing by here in Cabo Verde. As Covid19 restrictions continue to make international and inter island travel by difficult or closed. We can't go but life goes on. But life in Mindelo is relatively open which you'll discover in this episode. As well you'll see part of o...

What to do when it becomes too dangerous to stay in an anchorage? Should we head for the unknown option or backtrack to a possibility? With limited daylight we have to make some tough decisions...and quickly!

First we thought we'd be leaving the marina at the beginning of April, but after COVID, that idea was pushed to mid-May. Well, while day sails were allowed, it wasn't until July 4th that cruising became permitted again and we were let out of lockdown to begin our season.
As we're re...
There seems to be a magnetic force to this island. Some of us try to leave and are drawn back to Mindelo like a magnet. As well, many of us are stuck here. Borders are closed, quarantines are in place and sailing around the islands is not quite possible. Our Canadian friends are trying to sail acros...

That's what I should have done. Treat sooner or suffer later. I had a nasty infection that I thought I could treat on my own, rather than go see a doctor. Well I waited too long and boy did I suffer. I'm still stuck in Mindelo Cape Verde. I cant's sail for a variety of reasons. Main o...
This Sahara dust storm is so big, it will cross the Atlantic and disrupt the formation of hurricanes. The islands of Cabo Verde get covered by Sahara dust pretty regularly. Here they call it Bruma Secca or Dry Fog. And when being at anchor here in Mindelo Bay you have to live through these storms. I...
