Everyone says "Don't Go To Praia!" Well we did. We sailed into the bay and moored at the fishing pier next to fishermen. The beauty of living on a sailboat is that you can live one day near a deserted beach and the next in a busy city harbour. We are living in the city, the Port of P...
This is one of the best anchorages in Cape Verde. But a good anchorage is only as good as your anchoring, so I go down and check. As well I check out Cidade Velha, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The location of the anchorage. One of the most significant places of history in Africa. Where pirates wrea...
NOTE: This footage was filmed in the beginning of the year, when COVID-19 was not in a full swing… Nowhere to what it is now... We understand how bad is current situation and most of things we do seems meaningless at the moment, but just in case you feel this might take away your worries even for fe...
So far seven out of ten Cape Verdean islands I've sailed to and anchored, this may be the best spot to anchor. Santiago island is he largest of all the archipelago. There is much to see, and in this episode we see some more like the city of Assomada and then Cidada Velha, where I consider one o...
We prepare our boat to be left for 6 weeks while we travel to Europe. We have to take her over and tuck her in at a marina, Our friend Alia comes along for the ride. We get to see a busy port in Vancouver, float planes, Stanley park, and go under the Lions Gate bridge. We also do some trouble shooti...
We have found a paradise of goodness in the village of Ribiera de Barca. It's rare that sailors anchor in front of their village, and we are welcome like royalty. Kids swim out to say hello, fishermen come for coffee and girls come for a beer and curious to see what the inside of a yacht looks ...
What are the chances to get tangled in the trash so you can’t move? Or you barely can move -- max RPMs at 2 KNTS! How about this happens in the busiest place in the World? Let’s say Malacca Strait - also most dangerous place according to TIMES magazine… Oh and let’s top it up with pitch dark…

We have weeks of frustrating waiting on the hard in Portlnd Marina while our drive leg gets completely stripped down and rebuilt. Thankfully they do a great job and we refix the saildrive back onto our beloved Pickle , get relaunched and Sail on in big sees towards Brixham. While we wait we for the ...
It is great seeing young couples stepping out of their comfort zones & choosing an adventurous sailing lifestyle.
It was without hesitation that we offered our time to help a young cruising couple with the mammoth job of sanding, faring & antifouling their hull for the first time.

Sometimes sister luck parks itself right next to your boat and opportunity knocks. We are in Tarrafal on Santiago Island and Dutch schooner Oosterschelde weigh anchor besides us. I'd met the Captain in a few days ago in Mindelo, and as he passed by with his dinghy waved him over. He stopped an...
Sometimes good times get the better of us. But not during our passage to Santiago Island. We waited for the right conditions and the wait paid off. Beautiful conditions for the three of us to reflect that f good times in Mindelo. Once anchored in Tarrafal I get horribly sick. Just part of the voyage...
We have been in marinas & the winds have been wild, but we never thought we would experience Force 8 winds & what an experience it was.

Being out in the middle of the ocean is a very lonely place, and being in the middle of the city is quite the opposite. Nat and I are with a few very special people in Praia. Namely Manu, a Cape Verdean native who lives in Marseille France, and in Praia. He shows us his amazing house he has built an...
A huge THANK YOU to Stanley who was so kind to take me out in his little boat to give me a crash course in how to catch Salmon.
This episode is all about meeting people during my travels. I am always amazed how many beautiful souls cross my wake. Wildlife and landscape are breathtaking, but often i...
It's something that can happen to any sailor. This is the story of Jurgen, German solo sailor who left his boat at anchor for a couple of hours only to come back and find his boat had disappeared. A few moments later he received a call and was told his boat was beached. It's a story that w...
We find a hot spring on the beach and spend a couple of hours relaxing before setting off for Porto Rafti where we say our goodbyes to Joanne

We leave early in the morning together with our friends SY Notorious and SY Ocean Fox.
The day starts ...
On this episode of Sailing on a Whim, we have yet another boat project fail as we attempt to complete the installation of our solar panels and try to finish some of our final projects before heading off to go cruising!
This crazy adventure started in early 2018 as we started researching learning h...
In this episode we sail and arrive in Milos. Jenny & Joanne go and explore the volcanic formed beach and then we sail off to our next destination. This is the place where the video This Girl by the Kungs was filmed. (Thanks to Paul for that info).

I recently met Eduardo who makes up the amazing whale research project in Mindelo, Cape Verde. Since then he's done a survey of locations at all the islands of Cape Verde where there is cetacean activity. We met again later in Mindelo and he showed me some amazing footage of his surveys. We dec...
Our tour of the Barlavento islands of Cape Verde is almost over. We have one more day to discover more friends and family in Sao Nicolau island. Then we make the passage from Sao Nicolau to Sao Vicente. It's back into the mighty Atlantic, and you feel it's power and mystique. Peixe is anxi...
We are weatherbound in Conwy - an area of the UK with a large tidal range - and we get impatient and make a bit of a blunder.

We have begun a liveaboard adventure on our Bavaria 36, Salty Lass. It is our ongoing mission to explore strange new ports, to seek out new to us cuisi...
This island is really something. Me and Nat had come here a few months ago, but did not visit the interior of the island because there was the "Bruma Seca". The Dry Fog. It's when the air is heavy with Sahara sand and the visibility is none. But this time around I discover the wonder ...
