Sailing the Atlantic Ocean with my father.
!NEW! Video includes English subtitles.

This is part 2, from Falmouth to Madeira. We experienced quite a lot of problems with our material. Also, it was very cold and we were quite tired...

  • Thank you for the English sub-titles, my Dutch is terrible.

    I have heard it said that December is not a good time for a trip across Biscay, perhaps you didn't plan this very well?

  • @blueskyredkite You've heard it right. Normally you sail your boat to Portugal in summer, and continue in autumn / winter from there. We did a lot of work on the boat before we left, and simply weren't finished in time... So the thought was: we'll go to England first and ask local fisherman how they do their work. Bottom line was you can still do it if the weather forecast is good for 2 / 3 days to sail clear of the Atlantic rig.

  • What costs are involved when you port into a harbour abroad?

  • @JustWonderingHowToDo Depends very much where you go. Touristic places can cost up to 20-30 euro's a night for a 33 ft / 10 meter boat with 2 persons. But most places it's much cheaper (between 10-15 euro's a night) or even free. Of course countries like Suriname (Dutch Guinea, near Brasil) or some less well known Caribbean islands are even cheaper still.

  • Falmouth where? MA?

  • Falmouth, South-West England. You know it?

  • Ouch. Big yardsale in the bow. Hate it when that happens.

  • She's a nice looking boat. We had a Rival 41 and took her from Lagos, Portugal to the cabo verdes then across to Fortaleza, Brazil. Back in 1999 - 2000

  • I like the music at about 3:00... pretty relaxed sailing then! ;-)

  • tnx
