Our sailing life is taking us to North Africa. Before our Atlantic Crossing we are on a short stop over in Morocco. One of the greatest things about boatlife is that we can explore new places. Today we took the time to go shopping! But not for us 😊😊 We are on the hunt for some authentic souvenirs for our dear Patreons Heidi and John! - We love you guys!

Velejar é a personificação da liberdade. Quando os ventos acariciam as velas e a água se estende diante de nós, sentimos uma sensação indescritível de liberdade. Navegamos pelos mares, livres das amarras terrenas, envolvidos pela vastidão do oceano. O velejar nos proporciona a oportunidade de escapar das preocupações diárias, das responsabilidades e das restrições da vida moderna. É um momento em que nos permitimos ser guiados pelo vento, explorando horizontes desconhecidos e abraçando a aventura. Nos tornamos os capitães de nossos destinos, guiando nossa embarcação em busca de novas experiências e descobertas. No velejar, encontramos uma liberdade que nos liberta das correntes da rotina, nos conecta com a natureza e nos permite voar nas asas do vento. Sailing is the embodiment of freedom. When the winds caress the sails and the water stretches before us, we feel an indescribable sense of freedom. We sail the seas, free from earthly constraints, enveloped by the vastness of the ocean. Sailing provides us with the opportunity to escape the daily worries, responsibilities, and restrictions of modern life. It is a moment when we allow ourselves to be guided by the wind, exploring unknown horizons and embracing adventure. We become the captains of our destinies, guiding our vessel in search of new experiences and discoveries. In sailing, we find a freedom that liberates us from the chains of routine, connects us with nature, and allows us to soar on the wings of the wind.

► Full test in Multihulls World N°191: https://www.multihulls-world.com/review/motor/prestige-m8-powercat-or-yacht-why-both-captain ► This new model announced at Boot Düsseldorf confirms the ambitions of Prestige Yachts regarding the M-Line range they inaugurated in 2022 with the M48. A catamaran configuration is indeed where the manufacturer placing their bets! The M8 should have been called the M58, but Prestige's management preferred to emphasize the “monohull equivalent comfort”, in the same way that Fountaine Pajot did with their MY range. The M8 intends to offer features comparable to those of an 80-foot monohull yacht. Looking at the very first 3D views and the specifications presented, this will indeed be the case: the total living space extends over 2,900 square feet (270 m²), including 540 sq ft (50 m²) for the flybridge, 510 sq ft (47.5 m²) for the nacelle, 345 sq ft (32 m²) for the aft cockpit, and 320 sq ft (30 m²) for the forward owner's cabin, which occupies all the available width... A great deal of effort has also gone into the design, the materials used, and the quality of finish, such as the access to the flybridge from inside, surrounded by glass to avoid breaking the view, the bar between the two aft openings and the hydraulic platform that can be used as a terrace at the same level as the cockpit. While the M8 isn’t a semi-custom powercat, various options, such as having the galley down, will allow this new model to be personalized. The shipyard is also taking a step towards respecting the environment with a Silent Yacht option: a lithium battery bank combined with solar panels will allow the crew to spend the night aboard without having to resort to running the generator. The M8's low fuel consumption is also worthy of note (at least at slow speeds) as the twin 600 HP Volvo D8s require only 5¼ US gallons (20 liters) per hour at 8 knots. Like the M48, the maximum speed remains modest, at 20 knots. On the other hand, the range this catamaran offers, while comfortable, won’t allow you to envisage too much in the way of ocean passage-making. ► TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Builder: Prestige Yachts Length overall: 67’11” (20.7 m) Hull length: 60’ (18.3 m) Beam: 28’10” (8.8 m) Drivetrain: 2 x 600 HP Fuel: 978 US gal (3,700 l) Water: 211 US gal (800 l) Maximum speed: 20 knots Range at 10 knots: 850 miles ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!

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.
