We Didn’t Plan to Stop in Canet – Here’s Why We Had To – Sailing Helios S04E25
We didn’t plan to come back to Canet-en-Roussillon. A few weeks ago the plan was to return west through the Balearic Islands. Then a chance encounter with some fellow Aussies changed everything — and we found ourselves heading back to Canet, the marina where we first laid eyes on Helios in May 2023...
Passage to Cap d’Agde – Sailing Helios S04E24
After waiting a day for better weather and getting some rest, we leave at night, sailing to Cap d’Agde — the only window that keeps us clear of strong westerlies around Toulon. This is the final leg of a week of sailing that has taken us from the west coast of Italy, near Naples, all the way to the...
Leaving Italy for the Caribbean: Sailing Helios S04E23
Our visitors have gone and it’s time to get going. This is as far east as we sail this season. From here we turn around and start heading west — west all the way to the Caribbean. First, though, we have a date in Canet in mid-August. With a break in the westerlies, we need to make haste and get mov...
Italian coastal adventures: Ponza and Gaeta
We’re back in Ponza after sailing across from Sardinia.

The forecast, however, has ot...
Crossing the Tyrrhenian to Ponza – Soft Sailing Before Italian Summer Hits – Sailing Helios S04E21
It’s time to leave Sardinia and cross the Tyrrhenian Sea to the small Italian island of Ponza. This passage is pure soft sailing — light winds, gentle seas, and those quiet, beautiful hours at sea that make everything else feel worthwhile. Ponza may be small, but it carries a long and fascinating hi...
The Maddalenas’ Secret Beach You Can’t Photograph
After a short hop along the Maddalenas, we tuck into a secluded anchorage and slow right down — a few days away from the hectic world, with nothing but calm water, warm sand, and no schedule. We swim, we paddle, and we kayak across to a beach where clothes are optional and cameras are off — so this...
What a Day in the Maddalenas Actually Looks Like | Sailing Helios S04E19
Crystal-clear bays, a quick paddle to a quiet beach, and pizza on the mainland — this is what a day in the Maddalena National Park really looks like. We spend a relaxed day exploring one of Sardinia's most beautiful cruising grounds. The Maddalenas are known for their easy-access anchorages an...
Isola Piana Sunrise: The Best Way to Start a Sailing Day – S04E18
We wake up to a calm, idyllic morning at Isola Piana on the northwest tip of Sardinia. We start sailing early, across the top of the island toward the Maddalena archipelago, where we’ll be meeting family in a few days. The quiet beginning soon turns into a fresh sea breeze and a cracking sail across...
We Left Without the Vang? Menorca to Sardinia Passage — 2 Days at Sea | S04E17
We're leaving Menorca — with or without the vang part. 200 nautical miles stand between us and Sardinia. This is our longest passage yet: two days at sea, sailing from the Balearics to Sardinia. It's only a short hop compared to what's coming (hello, Atlantic), but it's the perfe...

Broken Vang in Stiff Breeze! North Mallorca Coast Adventure – Sailing Helios S04E13
We leave Palma Bay and set off along the beautiful north coast of Mallorca. In a stiff breeze, the boom vang suddenly breaks with a loud bang, forcing us to drop sails and motor the rest of the day.
