Yesterday’s sail started off rough – choppy waves and headwinds all the way to Bilbao. Luckily, we weren’t the only fools who thought it was a good day to go sailing 😅 With the mainsail up for balance and the engine doing most of the work, we powered through the swell. Eventually, things calmed down, and we found our groove again – talking, napping - some napping more than others 🤭 And then… we got a bite! 🎉 Our first fish! 🎉 It’s been a pricey one, though – Three lost lures and probably over 50 meters of line before we landed this beauty. Surely, they only get cheaper from here… right? We’re pretty sure it’s a type of mackerel, judging by the pattern – but what do you think? 🐟👇 Let us know in the comments! Music: Lisa Ono, Quien Sera

It’s been the best day! We’ve had bright sunshine and light winds—perfect conditions to dress Vela up! We’re really happy with how our logo turned out on the sail since we made it ourselves! What do you think of the result? 🌊🌊🌊 #DIY #upcycle #sail #sailing #circumnavigation #reeloftheday #countdown

We were limited in how much we could explore, for a few reasons: – We weren’t allowed to declare Anker, so he had to stay on board. – The forecast hinted at strong winds coming in… – …and we couldn’t risk being stuck, since we’re dropping off a crewmember on Friday. So, we made the most of it! Wandered the charming streets, soaked up the island’s calm and authentic vibe, and of course — ordered cider and fish n’ chips at the local pub. What more can you ask for? Guernsey, we’ll be back. Next time, with more time and a dog who’s allowed on land 🐶🌞 #sail #sailing #circumnavigation #shortoftheday #guernsey #explore #adventure #liveaboard #dog #cutedog
