A long open water passage from Minorca to Carloforte, Sardiana. But along the way, a favorable tidal stream and brisk winds shortens our trip by almost 12 hours, leading to an almost dark arrival. The channel into Carloforte is notoriously tricky and it's a nail biter for us the entire way in.
We take our two friends, Shanna and Kelly, aboard for a passage over to the Balearic Islands. From Ibiza town (as opposed to Ibiza island) we head over to Palma de Mallorca and the Oyster Brokerage outpost there. As promised, the Oyster folks totally took great care of us while we were there, findin...
A postcard from our time thus far in Svalbard aboard Paragon with Drake, Mo, and Éanna reunited!
I used to love 'Where the Sidewalk Ends' by Shel Silverstein when I was a child for all its wonder and absurdity and pure fun. And what a question...what lies beyond the end of the sidewalk, o...
We get up early to make a long day run to Alicante, Spain. The sailing conditions were epic, and although we were close hauled for the first half, later it was beam-on and fast. What a joy it was!
I've got to get from Santa Cruz de La Palma to San Miguel de Tenerife and it's about a 100 nautical miles. I have a good weather forecast of 15kts coming from the north. As usual in the Canaries the real weather conditions are stronger. The wind and sea are punishing as there begins to be ...
We finally head east and north, across a long expanse of Mediterranean open water. It's a big passage, nothing like our short shakedown across the Strait of Gibraltar. We pass through weather fronts and sail during the night dodging shipping traffic.
This is it! After years of preparation, thousands of miles sailed, stormy weather, breakdowns, spectacular sights, brilliant weather, and old and new friends we are about to set foot upon the land we yearned to explore...Greenland! Of course, even in these final moments of our epic sail, landfall do...
8 days at sea in the North Atlantic and now, after weathering high winds, no wind, equipment failures, and fatigue, we are so close to arriving at our destination on the west coast of Greenland. The crew is positively giddy with excitement as we begin the final approach.

With just 2 to 3 days until we make landfall, the winds increase in speed and intensity. To ease pressure on the boat and, more importantly, the crew, a decision is made to heave to. How long will we drift off the coast of Greenland? Stay with us!

This is more of a maintenance video, as the Hood Formula electric mainsail furler we disassembled in the previous episode is reassembled, painted, installed, and used. There is a real skill set to using in-mast furling systems of all types, and I list some tips on these at the end.
Following our major furler failure, which damaged our sails and scared the crap out of us, the furler becomes the center of attention for a full rebuild.
My stay in a little corner of Paradise had to come to an end. I had to sail from La Gomera to Tenerife Island to pick up a package and some friends. And to get from one island to the other you often are faced with the locally well known acceleration zones. And this one was up to its notorious reputa...
What to do, what to do. The winds are increasing and we weigh our options. Stay the course? Tack or Gybe? Should we avoid the stormy waters south of Greenland or oncoming winds.

The winds are increasing, the waves are building, and the gusts are getting stronger. What do you do? Do you run with it? Do you heave to? A lot of decisions are going to be made as we continue our sail to Greenland in the North Atlantic. Stay with us!

When is the right time to reef a sail offshore? Some say once you realise it's time to reef, it's already too late. The winds are increasing and the waves are building as heavy weather approaches. Can our cautious captain keep us comfortable and on course? Stay with us!
Craving real time ...
What happens when the navigational maps and charts and cruising guides do not match? Which one is right? Which one is wrong? And, most importantly, which one do you follow? Paragon sails through rolling seas while the crew has just a few days to make some important decisions. Stay with us!

Day five of sailing offshore to Greenland and everyone has settled into a rhythm. Like a pendulum, Paragon rolls from side to side as she moves forward in variable wind and we struggle to find a balance with our sails. The droning of the engine wears on the crew at the best of times...can a burst of...

Sailing offshore is a mixed bag...crazy activity followed by extreme calm and everything in-between. A Canadian fisheries plane buzzes by to check us out as we battle with light and varied winds. Perhaps a look ...
