This is it we are on our way to the Abacos. We decided to go through Indian Cut at higher tide to save us a good 4 to 5 hours. The wind has been blowing 20 knots with higher gusts but luckily here the waves are much smaller. Stay tuned for more updates and subscribe to watch our Thursday weekly full lenght episodes.

Giorno 26 - EGADI Il ritorno dal paese, dopo cena, è stato tosto. Il motore del gommone ha deciso di abbandonarci a circa 2/3 miglia dall’arrivo e controvento. Quella sensazione da “siamo esausti, ma se ci fermiamo adesso perderemo tutta la strada fatta finora e verremo sospinti verso il mare aperto”. Un’ora di vita in cui cambiano le tue priorità in modo del tutto repentino. Mi rimarrà la cena sullo stomaco? E chi ci pensa più, quando smettere di remare equivale a dire perdersi nel mare nero? Il vento rinforza, le braccia bruciano, gli schizzi bagnano i vestiti. Ci si incita, poi si cerca di capire se stiamo guadagnando terreno o se siamo sempre fermi nello stesso punto. Poi lo sconforto. Stiamo arretrando? Gli scogli sono più lontani? Che stanchezza. Come possiamo remare con maggiore forza? Tutto è bene quel che finisce bene, perché alla fine il dream team ha vinto la resistenza del vento e siamo tornati sani e salvi in barca. Adesso ci aspetta una bella dormita, perché alle 6 di domattina andremo verso la marina di Marsala per una sosta tecnica di lavori. A domani! C.

The current Greece / Turkey border crisis reminds me of our encounter recently at the Greece Turkey sea border off the coast of Kos. Not exactly 'Greece under attack' as some media reports have been saying but it demonstrates how it's not just about rubber dinghies full of immigrants or refugees. This jetskier easily evaded the Hellenic Coast Guard high speed boarder patrols, dropped off a passenger on Kos and returned to Turkish waters in the space of about 20 minutes! Now we're in Spain the border crisis feel just as bad with near daily Maydays on our VHF from migrant boats entering Spanish waters from Morocco. _________________ PLEASE NOTE: YouTube have disabled comments on most of our video blogs (and on other family channels) due to safeguarding issues regarding minors on the YouTube platform.
