Navigating adversity to success - sailing Thailand
We are sailing our floating home through world famous Phang Nga Bay, heading north to Thailands only floating fishing village, which is famous, but not for the reason you would suspect. It's a beautiful story of how the children of Panyee flo...
Hi Everyone, join us this week as we depart Double Island Point to cross the notorious Wide Bay Bar and let's just say it wasn't smooth sailing. We are 3 days in and we've already broken a few things, one being the boom! We are pleasantly relieved to cross the bar and get to the calm...
The Sao Vicente Canal, most of the time it's a rough patch of ocean to navigate. Which is the case in this episode. It was at times harrowing, with winds sustained at 33kts. It was an uphill battle against wind, current and waves. I took on water and my friend Peter tore his sail and lost his a...
Me and my boat Galopin have been wanting to sail with our friend Bruno for some time. And we got the perfect opportunity. A weekend jaunt across the Sao Vicente canal and on to the island of Santa Antao. I've done this passage on many occasions, but never with a professional skipper. And this p...
Being a full time live aboard sailor is often a life full of surprises. Some people don't like surprises, but I do. And in this episode I get a lot of them. Some good, some not so good. For the most part I can say, "WOW! What a nice surprise!"

We did what few recreational sailors do or even attempt to. We circumnavigated the island of Santa Antao. It was an epic six day journey beginning in the town of Tarrafal de Montrigo and ending back there several days later. It gave us time to make a short visit and take a sweet shower under a tumbl...
We continue our tour of Santa Antao island. We start from the Northwest Bank to the town of Cruzinhas. A precarious anchorage, but with the help of locals, we stay for the night. We have a day discover the local scenery which is stunning. And later we take a leap into the local swimming hole. As we...
We're about to embark on a Cape Verde navigational feat few have done. A full circumnavigation of Santa Antao island. Conditions were perfect for this. So here we are starting a major sailing adventure. I'm accompanied by two great friends, Jodie and Sidney. A Brit and a Kriulu. We start f...
The forecast was pretty accurate. A tropical storm was on our way and I would be sailing right into it. I was beating into a tropical storm. We had left our last anchorage in Tarrafal a bit too late and found ourselves crossing the Sao Vicente canal as the storm was coming. I was a storm that hasn...
After sailing from Mindelo with my friend Wendy, we met up with our other two friends in the little town of Tarrafal on the island of Santa Antao. There I took the three city girls to a big deserted black sand beach. We could swim and escape the sweltering heat. At the end of the day, we go and anch...
So what's it like to be in between two storms in Cabo Verde where hurricanes are born? Well tune in to this channel if you want to know. In reality it's not that bad if you pay attention to the weather predictions. And in the end you make the best with what mother nature gives you. And tha...
I'm back out on the ocean with my friend Paul Lou who goes fly fishing. As well we meet meet Akko who goes kite surfing on Mindelo bay while Wendy watches clad in her new canary yellow bikini. I'm invited to a birthday party on my neighbor's sailboat and with the help of Andrea we org...
We're out sailing again! This time with Gilson and family we take Galopin for another test sail in Sao Vicente canal and catch a tune. We go and listen to our friend Jodie sing and play guitar and I get a boat project done. Then we tell the story of Lucas and David as they haul out their catama...
After a wake up call of what it's like to sail in these Cape Verdean waters by breaking something, we sail into a favorite bay of ours to make repairs. Our man Peixe begins by fishing for dinner. Then cooking a fried fish dinner under an orange sky. And in the morning he's up on the mast ...
Covid19 is sill holding us hostage with our sailboats. But that doesn't mean we cant go out to sea. So we took the ferry across the Sao Vicente Canal to the island of Santa Antao. One of the most spectacular Cape Verde islands.The pandemic is still with us, as you will see and we must adapt. Bu...
Life is slowly passing by here in Cabo Verde. As Covid19 restrictions continue to make international and inter island travel by difficult or closed. We can't go but life goes on. But life in Mindelo is relatively open which you'll discover in this episode. As well you'll see part of o...
There seems to be a magnetic force to this island. Some of us try to leave and are drawn back to Mindelo like a magnet. As well, many of us are stuck here. Borders are closed, quarantines are in place and sailing around the islands is not quite possible. Our Canadian friends are trying to sail acros...
That's what I should have done. Treat sooner or suffer later. I had a nasty infection that I thought I could treat on my own, rather than go see a doctor. Well I waited too long and boy did I suffer. I'm still stuck in Mindelo Cape Verde. I cant's sail for a variety of reasons. Main o...
This Sahara dust storm is so big, it will cross the Atlantic and disrupt the formation of hurricanes. The islands of Cabo Verde get covered by Sahara dust pretty regularly. Here they call it Bruma Secca or Dry Fog. And when being at anchor here in Mindelo Bay you have to live through these storms. I...
Life in Mindelo, Cape Verde gets back to somewhat normal. Our friend Lucious the rapper takes us to the city beach, that is open only until 18:00 which Lucious finds out the hard way. Life is great in Marina Mindelo, except for one important thing, discrimination. We find a way around that by rentin...
These two have been stuck on their boat more than two months. They started in Spain just when the pandemic struck, then sailed directly down to Cape Verde. It took them 17 days, and 14 more of quarantine in Mindelo Bay. It was a return trip for one of them, Peter. He was in Mindelo several months ag...
In light of recent events, I have spoken out in support of Black Lives Matter in this episode. I am in Africa and a minority. I have been treated with respect by the wonderful people here in Cape Verde. And it's with absolute pleasure that I share what I have with friends I have made here. For ...
