Solo sailing to the keys & the 6 minute refit | Sailing Zingaro Ep-1
Finally done with the first episode! Super exited to share this. Flew from Hawaii to Ft Myers, Florida to look at a catamaran, and ended up living there for 2 months while refitting and getting her ready for sea. It was tough, and a great learning experi...
One week ALONE AT SEA: Solo Sailing 600nm from Cayman to Panama – UNTIE THE LINES S2E57
Wow, this was the longest solo sail I have ever done so far. Not much for many, but for me, these 600+ nautical miles of solo sailing were quite the accomplishment for myself. Things went rather smooth, no engine failures, only a small tear in my sail whe...

I'm not the only one to have a dream of sailing off into the sunset. Here you'll meet several others who are preparing their boat for a big voyage. And I'm continuing to do so my myself. It's a big refit job, and seems to never end, but in the end it will ...
Winded Voyage 2 | Episode 9 | Hi Ho, Hi Ho & Off To Work We Go
Work, work, work. After a quick stint in Switzerland to do a paying gig, I board a train to my dear Galopin to do more work. And thanks to Neptune, I’m working with one of the best boat pros in the area. As far as I’m concerned, Daniel is probably the ...
Winded Voyage 2 | Episode 8 | Spaghetti Wires and Hoses
This episode is far from distant shores and beautiful people. It’s about getting into the inside of things. Galopin is like a living being with a wired and tube network that gives him life. His inner workings were tired and needed refreshing. In comes my...
Winded Voyage 2 | Episode 7 | Ze Wind In The Ass
We finally were sailing downwind. I had prepared my spinnaker three times and put it away. But third try was the one. That was quite a journey and learning experience. Later a whole other journey begins. The insides of Galopin are opened up. This when a n...

Once upon a time there was a tortoise and a hare. Each on their sailboats, they raced along the coast of Catalonia. The tortoise was lagging behind the hare, but made steady progress to catch up. Moral of the story, if you want to be a sailor, don't be afr...
Sailing alone from Cuba to Grand Cayman. And TURTLES!!! – UNTIE THE LINES II #53
Sailing alone from Cuba to Cayman Island was a short overnight sail with good wind and moderate sea state. I decided to stop in Grand Cayman to split the voyage down to Panama. I was positively surprised by the zero formality fees, but not so impressed by...
Winded Voyage 2 | Episode 5 | Not So Silent Night
Navigating at night is really cool when you're in the middle of the ocean. But when you're near the coast and coming into port it's less cool and sometimes hot. After a nice sail from Tarragona, we get into Port Vale in Barcelona in the darkness and I end ...
Winded Voyage 2 | Episode 4 | Viva Barcelona
My first time coming into a big port alone. And not just any port, Barcelona. It's amazing to sail into the heart of a city. You step out of your little floating home to walk around the city streets and shake out your sea legs. And then you get back into y...
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 po...
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. Heeling at close reach, I had to go to the bottom of the mast to take reefs. It was the f...
