It's the final leg of our journey sailing around Cabo Verde with our guest Ferdi. We return where we started from two weeks prior. There he talks of his experience in a one-on-one interview in our segment Galopin's Guest.
Some say it’s The Best Sa...
Having decided to focus on coastal cruising for the foreseeable future and not a solo crossing of the Pacific, I am trying to adapt myself and Wahine to the new plan. Three changes have taken the lion's share of my attention.

I’ve been to this anchorage many times before. And it’s usually a pretty laid back spot. But the past few days were different. Because of the incoming swell. It’s a shallow bay and the waves can break at any moment it seems. I did not feel so safe here with Galopin...

In our continuing series with Ferdi on his journey to get his ocean sailing license on Galopin. He's come with me to accumulate nautical miles and knowledge on the ocean. We do some safety training, like anchoring in a secluded golden beach and sail overnight...
#sailing #sailinglifestyle #seamanship
Seamanship, can it be taught? In my opinion no. You either got it or you don't. Like talent. You can't teach an artist, musician or athlete to be great. They just are. And should one have a sailing license? I didn't for several years and nothing ...
Hearing the words "remote island Japan" is one thing. Seeing it in person is another. And having the opportunity to sail through its clear, blue waters? That's a dream come true.
In this episode, I sail to my third port on this unique Island called Amami. The port is called Koniya i...
#sailing #solosailing #howto
Let me start by saying that I’m Swiss. So how can someone like me, Swiss, get one of those? We’ve got no ocean, no sea, no coastline. I’m from a country that is landlocked. So how do we do it? Precisely how did I do it? Recently I was commissioned to help a fellow Swiss ...

We were about twenty miles away, and it was getting dark. The wind had dropped so I started my engine. But it was not running right. I spent several hours trying to purge the injectors. It didn’t work. Thorfinn kept on helming. It seemed like the Gods wanted us to ...
Following my two rather sorrowful Videos earlier this year, and after much reflection and consultation with my advisors and sponsors, I have decided to keep Wahine and focus for the time being on exploring Japan from the sea. The goal of solo sailing across the Pacific, through the North Pacific G...

The latest of Galopin’s Guest interview is with Thorfinn who rode his bicycle from the most Northwestern point in Scotland to Senegal. Riding all the way through England, France, Northern Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal. And the...

We say "Au revoir" to all the beautiful people I met in Dakar. The dilema for us sailors. But "Au revoir" means "See you". We head out in the afternoon to beat the fishermen who lay out their nets in the late afternoon. But they wer...
It took two years and three attempts, and I finally arrived in the deep inlet of Uken; I was welcomed by my mate Matt Pride and the Mayor. Also, I made new friends: Mitsu and his colleague Kenchan. Also, It was Shintaro`s final days with me on board Wahine.
Matt took me on some adventures, and I ...

I wanted to do some shopping at the popular Colombane market. So the ladies, Chantal and Sorna offered to take me there to protect me and to help in negotiating. When they see a foreigner the prices double. We still got some fair deals. And the oil leak on my P...
Episode #292 : Season 9 : The South Pacific
Hello friends,
On this episode I depart Makagai Island and make way for the Yasawa Group, also known as the Western Group. Leaving at midday for the 96NM passage so we are sure to reach the dangerous coral pass near Yasawa Island in the daylight.

I needed to upgrade my solar energy system so I set off walking the streets of Dakar alone to find a store named Solar Solutions. I walked throughout the city alone for more than four hours. I wanted to save money on taxis and time because the streets are clogged with ...

I was without an engine, and a sudden storm was blowing me toward an active volcano, I could take refuge on a tiny island with only 59 residents. For three days, I enjoyed the rugged beauty of the island, the hot springs, and the kindness of the locals. Thanks to the shore team for your help and M...

One of the main reasons I came back to Dakar Senegal was to get my sails repaired and more. I do not have the budget to simply order new sails. Here people don’t just replace things, they fix things. I was impressed by Diego the sailmaker's professionalism and...
#sailing #solosailing #collision
I was motor sailing fast at seven plus knots. I wanted to beat the sunset so I could anchor in daylight. But then I had to get through this monumental maze of fishing nets until I hit a dead end. This was bad. Very bad. With forceful wind and smashing waves, I manag...

#sailing #offgrid #solosailing
We were underway. Just me and Galopin. This would be my first long solo passage. I felt I needed this challenge. To get to know myself and my boat. Being alone puts you more in touch with your environment. Your reality. It’s just you, your boat and the ocean. It can be...
Part two of my passage from Oita to Amami. Having spent a week in Abaratsu ( Nichinan), first by the Ghost Ship and then at the wonderful Calm Lanai Harbor, we set off for Tanegashima, Japan`s Cape Canaveral. Shin Taro, who helped me install the new alternator, joined me as crew and I was so glad ...
