Winded Voyage 2 | Episode 3 | Anchoring Woes & Engine Failure
It seemed the sea and weather played with us. Rocked our boats and trapped us in Palamos for hours. We made the best of it and continued down the coast the next day. It was a nice sail until my engine refused to start. Another test to pass. Getting into port under sail only. We got the engine fixed ...
Winded Voyage 2 | Episode 2 | Challenged In Solo Sailing
In my opinion, there is no better way to learn about your boat and how to sail it than by doing it alone. I set out for this challenge with a 20 knot wind in my face.

We went back for more sailing out in the sea. With more trial and error now I'm getting a little more familiar with Galopin. The sea was littered with jelly fish that looked like garter belts for can-can dancers. And it rained like it never rains in the south of France, so we went to discover m...
