New episode! We make it to North Cape—without sails this time! As you know, we’re on our bike, and we’ve now officially reached 71° North. While we’re here at North Cape, we run into someone who biked all the way from Cape Town to here—Cape to Cape. Super impressive! After soaking in some absolutely stunning views, we head to Tromsø, a place we last visited after our Svalbard/Spitsbergen adventure—when we sailed all the way up to 80° North. Yeah, that was pretty epic too. We take a stroll along the dock and relive memories from sailing into Tromsø back in 2022 and longing to get back on the boat again!

For centuries sailors have navigated their way across the oceans by celestial navigation or nautical astronomy - using a sextant with the sun, moon, planets, and stars. For the modern sailor, it is essential when crossing oceans as back up to the modern and much relied upon electronic navigation. If you are curious about how to use a sextant or have taken the RYA Yachtmaster or Ocean Theory courses, or are even self-taught, our celestial sailing weekends are ideal offering both an introduction and a refresher. All are welcome. A big advantage is that you learn in a small group, under the supervision of an expert instructor. The weekends involve sailing along the south side of the Isle of Wight and back up through the Needles. A beautiful area to sail whilst offering ample opportunity to practice using the sextant. To find out more head to our website or follow us on our social channels. Please do call or email if you have any questions.
