GOOD FRIENDS IS KEY TO SUCCESS!
Busy days for both BE FREE and Wanderfull. When she splashed BE FREE is hauled out. Lots of work ahead but luckily I'm blessed with good friends helping out. I have had a great progress and are trying to keep up with posting...
Valentine’s Day on my boat in Cape Verde was quite an event. My friend Wendy organized a small party with three of her friends. It went on until dawn when more people came aboard and the fun continued on. Man, can Cape Verdeans party. Before that I did v...

To replace the dripless seal, the boat needs to be out of the water. This gives me an opportunity to inspect the keel following the repair work last Sept, dealing with a crack and a lingering question: does Wahine have a loose keel? But alas even more is...
Yes, I got mugged but not robbed. Me and two friends of mine were ambushed in the street. A rare event in Mindelo. But since Covid, people seemed to have gotten more desperate. Less tourist, less work. It’s hard for the locals, but thats no excuse. And t...
A few days ahead of schedule, but with a conducive sea state, the engineers decided to go early. The sea was calm but air temperature was frigid. But 6 hours later we arrived at Nishi Fukuoka Marina, where I haven a cradle booked for one week from Feb 14th...
This the season of good byes or rather see you laters, au revoir, hasta la vista. Sailors are hopping on the Tradewinds West. To the Caribbean or South America. I meet a friend I had met three year ago in Cape Verde. We catch up and I get more things done...

I see sailboats leaving Mindelo Bay everyday to cross the mighty Atlantic Ocean. And I'm trying to sail on myself. But me and my boat Galopin are still getting some things done. But we have time to explore a house perched on the cliffs above the ocean whic...
In trying to be cheerier, I set about cleaning the floorboards and the bilge, while managing the leak which we have slowed to 4 drips per minute. ( about a table spoon a minute). But to move on from a temporary fix I need to resolve three issues
1. Findi...
It was the day before my birthday and I had forgotten. In January, just after all the holidays festivities, you’re not really in the mood for a birthday party. But the party came to me. So I live to live another birthday. Then the realities of being a li...
DRUG BUST AND MEDICAL EMERGENCY AT ANCHOR
One of my sailing friends out at anchor ending up at hospital, and my neighbor boat was arrested having 1100 kg Cocaine onboard!
What a week with action, drama and as always a good end.
In between all this there ha...

To be disabled at sea was unsettling in itself, but when i discovered my boat had a leak once in harbour, self-doubt flooded in.
This is an account of what happened on January 15, 2021. With only a 24 hour notice I had to change plans and rather than a...
Back aboard Galopin. Back to the reality of living aboard a sailboat full time. First things are, problems to resolve. There is always something. But as wel I see friends like Peter and the gang as well as lovely Wendy. And I bring back a machete for my bo...
Breaking out of routines is doing something thats not in your schedule. Even as a sailor, life can easily become routine with a constant feeling of something you need to do. I sometimes need a bit changes in scenery and experience. Happy to have Kylie back...
Another wave of Covid washes over Europe. Portugal tightens its rules. All travelers must be Covid negative and prove it with tightly secured documentation. Traveling during Covid times sucks! This is how I got from Europe to Cape Verde Africa and back to ...
Is it okay to just enjoy life? It's so easy to forget to relax because it's always something I can do. I will try to be better at doing nothing. At least this was something I was thinking about when I felt like cruising into a New Year even without a NYE p...

In this final video of 2021, I attend to an electrical problem on board (back on shore power for the first time in nine months), install new lines, hoist the flags and then cycle around Nagasaki to revisiting places like Martyrs Hill where I have led bicyc...
Tropical x-mas is still exotic to me even after my forth Christmas in the Caribbean. I'm sharing my Christmas with you and wish you a happy new year! Going to the beach is something I should do more often, but so easy to take for granted after so long time...
