We bought an "old-ish" sailing yacht to renovate and sail through the French Canals to the MED. When we get there, we'll turn left. Travel is our passion along with sailing, cycling, motorbikes, family, dancing, food, music and wine. We would be delighted to welcome you aboard as a subscriber to our channel and don't be shy about hitting the like button or commenting - feedback is good. We hope you enjoy these travels, trials, tribulations and joys. Keep with us though, we're learning - especially Sheenagh, who was not a sailor - she was a Midwife.

We just sailed 2,250 nautical miles from Chile to Panama and Zambezi gave it her all ⛵️ So did we. But here’s the truth: offshore sailing will always find your weak points. Here’s what didn’t survive: ⚙️ Steering wire 💥 Spinnaker (luckily @rollytaskersails_official is already working on our replacement 🙏) 🔩 Genoa shackle 🧩 Main sheet bloc 🛠 Engine acceleration lever 🐟 …and a shameful number of fishing lines 😅 No major damage, just a lot of salty lessons and toolbox hours. This is why preparation matters and why we carry way more spare parts than we used to. Tell us what’s broken on your longest passage? Or what spare would you never leave without? ⚓️ Want to feel more prepared? Comment “offshore” and we’ll send you our Offshore Sailing Bundle—real lessons, real tools, zero fluff. Stay Salty! Greta & Michael on Zambezi #sailing #sailboat #offshoresailing #sailboatlife #catamaran
