In this video we use Wago connectors to repair our binnacle electrics. Would you use them on your boat?? After a quick repair crossing the Atlantic, we decided to make it neat and tidy. We discovered these connectors and thought we would try them.

Welcome to another repair video where we fit a new saildrive bellows (gaiter) to our Bavaria. We hope this gives you a helpful insight into the process of changing the bellows/gaiter. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ PLEASE READ THE DISCLAIMER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO ⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️ This was how we replaced the saildrive gaiter on our boat. It was quite a simple operation, especially as we had the engine out at the time. It took a couple of hours only to do (it took us longer as we had to stop and film it 😁) This is a video of how _we_ did it. Your installation might be different.

In this video we arrive in Plymouth after sailing 1400NM from the Azores. The weather was a bit gloomy on arrival, but we anchored in the lovely Cawsand Bay and were pleased to have arrived. This marks the 3rd UK/Azores passage that we have done and the trip was good overall. It also marks the completion of our Atlantic Circuit. Now it is time to haul out, do some work, and then back in the water for more sailing adventures...

This is how we repaired our damper plate on our Volvo Penta MD2030. We discovered it was damaged when we removed it to change the rear oil seal during the engine rebuild. It was made by a company called Centaflex and we found the correct spares by referencing the number found on the coupling. It was a straightforward DIY job...

Happy New Year to everyone. Here is the full and uninterrupted firework display at Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, Azores for the New Year celebrations. What an amazing display.

We had to change our mooring lines here in Ponta Delgada. The 'proper' ones that we usually use just made sooo much noise! After talking to a local, we were directed to the following shop: Honorato Moreira & Monteiro, Lda., Estr. Regional da Ribeira Grande 68A, 9500-296 Ponta Delgada Phone: 296 385 047 Walking from the direction of the marina, the shop is just past the prison on the same side of the road. We bought several lengths of 18mm line. The rope is actually sold by weight (?) but you ask for the length you want. They measure the rope and then weigh it. It worked out around 1 euro per metre. They only spoke Portuguese, so google translate is your friend here. They were really helpful and have a wide range of boating/fishing accessories. The polypropylene(?) mooring lines are so much quieter, and have good elasticity. The boat is much more pleasant to live on 😁 We also have mooring compensators.

Bit of a storm here today. We weren't expecting to try out our new LOMO foul weather gear in the marina. Winds expected to reach gusts of 43knots by 1600. We have added many extra shorelines to keep Nova Vita safe. There is considerable swell in the port and marina. The stormy weather is expected to last until around midnight and the all will be calm again.

We planned an early morning departure for the 150-nautical-mile sail to Ponta Delgada. But unfortunately, our anchor was fouled, so we had to call a diver to free it. To make things worse, the motor on our anchor windlass stopped working. We checked the solenoid, wiring, and all connections, which meant it could only be the motor. The divers from https://www.norbertodiver.pt/ arrived around 5:30 p.m. and quickly freed our anchor for €80. They were friendly and efficient - great service if you are unfortunate enough to get stuck. After manually getting the anchor on board, we were finally able to set off. It turned out to be a brilliant overnight sail with amazing conditions. We arrived in Ponta Delgada after dark, but since it's an easy port to enter and we've been here twice before, it wasn't an issue. We'll be staying in Ponta Delgada until November, when we'll decide on our next destination. *Thank You to all of you who support us in your different ways* ❤️ Please SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, and COMMENT as it really helps the channel and we love to hear from you😁😁 ➡️➡️ *FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:* https://www.instagram.com/sailingnovavita/ ➡️➡️ *SEE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE:* https://www.facebook.com/SailingNovaVita ⬇⬇⬇⬇ *CLICK THE LINKS* to find excellent sailing-related items😁⬇⬇⬇⬇ As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

We finish sailing across the Atlantic after 28 days at sea and arrive at Horta on the island of Faial, Azores. We had to sail very conservatively to protect the rigging so the journey ended up taking much longer than we had hoped. Getting into port with the rig still up was our priority, so we took the win 😁 We are very pleased to have made the crossing back to the Azores from the Caribbean. Nova Vita performed brilliantly the whole way. The rigging was repaired whilst we were here. We ordered 2 new inners which came from the mainland and which we fitted ourselves (a simple task). Horta is a great place to spend some time and it was good to relax here after the crossing.

Here we are again, in the middle of the ocean, trying to fix stuff! The inner shroud began to fail, the wind instrument packed up, and the engine decided to increase the amount of oil it was leaking. This is a normal part of sailing. When you sail offshore, you expect gear to fail. Whilst it can really lower the morale of the boat, it also provides you with an opportunity to learn. You learn about yourself and what you are capable of doing in a new situation. Is there a way to overcome this problem? How do you get the crew and boat safely to port? What can you use to improvise a repair? "When you are going through hell, keep going" - Winston Churchill - is one of our guiding philosophies on board. We always persevere until we have resolved any problems. We know that eventually the hard times will pass.

Another one just for fun 😁 The story of Blackbeard the pirate is extremely interesting. Blackbeard, born Edward Teach (or Thatch), became the most notorious pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy in the early 18th century. Likely starting as a privateer during Queen Anne's War, he turned to piracy around 1716 in the Caribbean. ✅ The Life and Legacy of History's Most Famous Pirate ➡️ https://amzn.to/3JGdCjQ ✅ Blackbeard: The Birth of America ➡️ https://amzn.to/4nHVowr Under the command of Captain Benjamin Hornigold, Teach quickly rose through the ranks, eventually taking his own ship and renaming a captured French vessel the formidable Queen Anne's Revenge. Blackbeard cultivated a terrifying image—a thick black beard, often tied with ribbons, and lit, smoking fuses tucked under his hat and in his beard during battle—to strike fear into his victims and encourage surrender without bloodshed. His short but impactful career saw him terrorize the American coasts and the Caribbean, most famously blockading Charleston, South Carolina, for ransom. Blackbeard's reign ended dramatically on November 22, 1718, in a fierce hand-to-hand battle against British naval forces led by Lieutenant Robert Maynard at Ocracoke Inlet, North Carolina, where he was finally killed. ✅ The Life and Legacy of History's Most Famous Pirate ➡️ https://amzn.to/3JGdCjQ ✅ Blackbeard: The Birth of America ➡️ https://amzn.to/4nHVowr If you love the sailing life, please SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, and COMMENT as it really helps the channel and we love to hear from you😁😁 *Thank You to all of you who support us in your different ways* ❤️ ✅ *INSTAGRAM* https://www.instagram.com/sailingnovavita/ ✅ *FACEBOOK* https://www.facebook.com/SailingNovaVita #sailing #yachting #boatlife #adventure As an Amazon affiliate I earn from qualifying purchases.

In this video, we experience all kinds of weather. From sunny and calm to windy, wet, and rough. Lots of sail changes and course changes.

This is how it can be when there is very little wind crossing the ocean. It can be a little frustrating, but it is nice to just sail along slowly sometimes.
