Beer + Laundry = The Best Cafe In Iceland! | #81 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
It's a stormy day in the marina in Iceland and we're dodging waves that are blasting over the breakwater. In between setting up extra storm lines it seems like it's the perfect day for some laundry which leads us to a very cool place. Anyone care for a bee...
Arrival in Iceland | #80 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
It was a rough sail to Iceland. Paragon has taken some damage and the crew is spent, but now is not the time to rest. We're closer to our end destination in Ireland and there is much to do. Time to get to work! Actually, maybe it's just time for a celebrat...
Rogue Wave | #79 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
Sailing the North Atlantic can be tricky in the best of times, and these are not the best of times. It's a challenging sail with rolly conditions and strong winds, but a rogue waves causes damage that leaves the crew rationing. Will our equipment make it t...
Sailing In The Land Of Giants | #78 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
We are sailing in the land of giants. The crew of Paragon thought we had seen proper icebergs on the western side of Greenland, but we had seen nothing. The east coast towers with massive icebergs 15 stories tall (or more!) that are essentially floating mo...
Pushing Off From The Weather Station In Greenland…AGAIN! | #77 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
The steering is fixed, the boat is secured, and we have an...acceptable weather window. Kind of. But our time has run out as the frequency of storms increases and the tiny, unprotected harbour fills with icebergs. We can't stay any longer, so we leave. We ...
Trapped Between a Rock and an Iceberg in a Gale | #76 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
With a report calling for 50+ knots of wind off the southern coast of Greenland, we stayed put in the semi-protected harbour of the weather station. After all, we needed to have access to internet and weather reports. But then came the icebergs. Should we ...

What does an iceberg look like underwater? | #75 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
We've got company at the weather station in Greenland, and it's not just another boat. The grounded iceberg is breaking apart and starting to cause concern in the tiny harbour. Where is our weather window? If you enjoyed this video, then give it a thumbs ...
Figuring out what went wrong docking | #74 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5

Pushing off from Greenland. | #71 | DrakeParagon Season 5
We're pushing off from Greenland aboard our 42 foot sailboat bound for Ireland...or are we? The boat is stowed and the crew is rested, but even the best laid plans cannot compete with the raw nature in this harsh land. A few icebergs and gale force winds m...
How Do We Get Out Of Here? | #70 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
The crew of Paragon awakens to white caps and gusting winds that turn the boat into a rocking horse straining and bucking against her lines. Submerged rocks and the appearance of an iceberg suddenly makes everyone question how we're going to get out of thi...
Safe Weather Window to Ireland? | #69 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
We've checked and downloaded the latest weather report, said our goodbyes to the men at the weather station, and given the dogs one last belly rub. The time has finally come to push off from Greenland and sail to Ireland. The weather isn't ideal, but at th...
Safe Harbor At Last | #66 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
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 fri...
A Very Dangerous Anchorage | #65 | DrakeParagon Sailing Season 5
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! If you enjoyed this video, then give it a thu...
