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.

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, Galopin, and taking off to sail the world, ...
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 chapter in our 1000M journey and the fi...
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 waves, some queasiness and rain. It was a g...
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 horizon.

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 through the Madallena Arpichelago and throug...
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 neighbors who happened to be American...
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 sails.

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 the south coast of Minorca Island and catch our...
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 be alone out at sea in the dark, but it...
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 provisions and get to know our skipper, Ni...
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 for June in Switzerland so we take on a ...
I passed the theory test! And there's more. Eye test, hearing test, first aid course. And now I must do the lake sailing license. In this episode I'll take you on a short flashback in my home town of Lausanne Switzerland. And it's on to the water with a sailing coach to show me exactl...
Finding peace and solitude by going solo is one thing, but when sailing you’ll inevitably find friends. They’re generally all helpful, generous, knowledgable, interesting, brave and congenial. We’ll meet a few of my new friends that help, party and work. Even show me where to jaunt for Tapas in neig...
It's time for another boat project from our Life Aboard series. (The fact that we have slow internet and this is a shorter video definitely helps!) We had trouble with the top two battens in our mainsail "popping" over when we tacked. The solution was to take them out of the mainsa...
Re-bedding a deck hatch is the focus of this "Life Aboard" video. A fairly straightforward process, the key is to make sure that all surfaces are well cleaned, and use enough sealant to ensure a good seal.
For more "Life Aboard" videos, as well as to see video of our cruising a...
From our "Life Aboard" video series, this video shows the step by step process to swap out a windlass gypsy (our boat has a Quick "Dylan" model). Completing this project allowed us to use a smaller anchor chain (3/8" vs 1/2"), saving space and weight.
For more "L...
Sadly this is the last episode in the summer cruising series as we make our way home. I hope everyone enjoyed the 2015 cruising videos, but now it is time to get settled back at the marina for the upcoming winter season. If you liked the video please give it a thumbs up and if you're not alre...
From our "Life Aboard" video series, Amy shows how to pull and clean an Airmar Transducer, which needs to be done periodically, or whenever the boat remains still for long enough, in order to clean out any growth.
Please note that you should specifically check your transducer for suggeste...
This video from our "Life Aboard" series shows how we converted our electric heads to flush using freshwater rather than saltwater. There are two big reasons we did this:
1) Reduce smells
2) Eliminate buildup inside the hoses
To follow along with our cruising adventures, please subscrib...
I head up to check on Obelix for the first time after getting back from the US. In this video, I talk about the five projects/tasks I want to get out of the way before moving aboard the boat. The house still hasn't been sold but I'm so excited to become a full-time liveaboard! Fingers cros...
The second video in our "Life Aboard" series which shows more of our day to day life on our sailing catamaran. This video shows how we swapped out our main halyard and run the new line through the mast.

The first in our "Life Aboard" series of videos that will be focused more on details of day to day life aboard a sailboat. This video shows how we can make water (at 30 gallons per hour!) onboard Starry Horizons with our CruiseRO watermaker.
To learn more about CruiseRO watermakers, you ...
The last day of my first two-week long liveaboard test. I try to sum up what I've learned.
