The best part of sailing is that you can go anytime. Or can you? After a fun outing with Peixe and family, where young Nelson shows off his captain and dancing skills, we decide to sail to Boavista Island. It's all systems go... or not. We are stopped shor...
Adventures in the company of Canadians Dave & Pete continue. We get a flat in the middle of nowhere and manage to get a lift of Cape Verde manpower. What luck. Then we go to what some call Africa's Woodstock. A massive outdoor music festival that is mi...
When a story starts this way, it's gonna be a pretty good one. I'm Back on Galopin and sort my things for life aboard again. My Swiss friends Jean tries to get out to sea, will he? Then we go to one of the best Block Parties ever. And the Canadians Dave an...
My visit in Switzerland is not over. There is more food follies and festival fun to eat up. La Fête des Vignerons, a festival that happens every 20 years cant be summed up in one episode. You'll go backstage and meet star cows getting milked. A nighttime ...
Living aboard is a not always the dream life. Your boat is vulnerable to a whole lot of potential hazards. Which was the case one night here in Mindelo Bay, Cape Verde. But overall, the good times here are also abundant and weigh out the challenging moment...
Sometimes you mess up and it works out for the best. Fortunately for me and Mamadu, I messed up for a better passage. We left early in the morning and about 3 hours into the journey we had to turn around. Why? You'll have to watch to find out. Once we were...
Falling asleep at the helm is not like falling asleep at the wheel. We did and went off course and not off a cliff. Nat was hungover and I was tired from basically solo sailing most of the day. Which started good, than got hard because of poor judgement an...
We have visited 4 out of 10 Cape Verde islands. And now we're preparing the boat to sail out Mindelo Bay. Next is the eastern most island called Sal. After about 7 months here, Galopin has grown quite a bit of undergrowth on its hull and it must be cleaned...
Just a few nautical miles away from Mindelo is a hidden gem of a cove. Protected from the constant trade winds which can get on your nerves back in Mindelo Bay. SO here we are to escape the wind and the city anchored in the wild west of Cape Verde. We are ...
Getting to really know a place is when you have gotten to really know the people. For me it's most notably Peixe. One of the first guys I met who helped me fix my outboard motor and invited us to his home over six months ago. He's with again a journey to T...
For seasoned sailors the answer is obvious. As well for arm chair sailors. But we begin this episode with a pretty lousy day at anchor. Which is a consistent 35kts of wind for most of the day hoping your boat won't drag. (My friend Tito's does). But we've ...
There's a lot of fear of pirates on the high seas. They do exists, and this episode will prove it. You will meet Tito, a "Conojero" from Lanzarote Island in the Canaries. You'll also meet a couple of young pirates from Argentina, as well as a straight shoo...
Amazing celebrations like Carnaval in Mindelo is also what sailing is all about. And this will blow you away! It's got beautiful girls of course, but Carnaval in Mindelo has got lots more than that. Creativity, humour, music and local friend who really kno...
We must leave the island of Santa Luzia and head East to the island of São Nicolau. There we explore the town of Tarafal and meet a jolly Italian who shows us his house. We blown around with sudden gusts that flip over my dinghy and outboard engine and se...
Want to know what sailing is about? Plain and simple it's about the wind. This is what sailing is all about. And in Cape Verde there is no shortage of wind. We sail from Sao Vicente island to the island of Santa Luzia. A uninhabited island and nature prese...
What is a Bitch Slap Sailing Lesson? Before this, I could not tell you. But after this nautical experience you'll understand. We had to get out and sail. Just me and Natacha. She needed to continue learning. So we sailed out of Mindelo Bay in common Cape V...
We are leaving Mindelo to sail over to the Caribbean!

Not many people can go from sailor to Mandingo warrior, but in this episode you will see that one person can. And that is Peixe. A very special individual and friend. We start off from Tarafal de Mont Trige on the island of Santa Antao after a unsuccessful...
That's not a real sailing video, we just hang around on different islands of Cape Verde to prepare ourselves mentally for the big Atlantic crossing in a couple of days which we will do just the two of us.
We stand next to sharks in the water, Nina get her ...
We're going back to rescue the lost drone with help. Not just any help, but the crew from Bela Vista. All Cape Verdean! And yes, all black when we include Nat. So far I've never seen an all black crew on a sailing yacht. And passing yachties rarely take lo...
What's the difference between a beached Frenchman, a Trippy Viking and Black Cape Verdean Milkmaids? For the moment they all live in Mindelo, Cape Verde and, no joke, are starring in this episode. When living aboard a sailing vessel sailing around the worl...
What is a Mandingo? Fierce African warriors and in Cape Verde also great sailors. We set off with a crew of Cape Verdeans. It was great to have them aboard as they know the local waters. That's probably why we caught a big Mahi Mahi. Peixe was my go to guy...
When you see what we saw, you'll hardly believe we are in Africa. But we are! On the island of Santa Antao, Cape Verde. The western-most island of the archipelago is the greenest of Cape Verde. In places it ressembles the Alps with it's high mountains. In ...
A bunch of young city folks go camping on a deserted beach. No it's not a pitch for a scary movie. It's what many Cape Verdean do on weekends. My dear friend Peixe invites us to share this experience. And it's quite a special time eating, swimming, fishing...
