A Surprise Night in Barcelona | Sagrada Família, Sailing Skills & New Challenges - S03E46

In this episode, our sailing plans take an unexpected turn as we make a last-minute stop in beautiful Barcelona for the night. It’s been two and a half years since our last visit, and we’re excited to return and check in on the iconic Sagrada Família, which is now edging closer to completion after more than 100 years of construction. After soaking up the atmosphere of the city, it’s back to sea. Jude takes the helm as she continues building her confidence and skills, while we enjoy a relaxed motor-sail toward our next destination. As always, navigating into a new port brings a mix of excitement and nerves — even after years of experience, Richard still feels the tension of unfamiliar waters and unknown berths. Join us for city sights, sailing moments, and real-life cruising challenges as our Mediterranean adventure continues aboard Helios. ⚓ In this episode: Last-minute change of sailing plans Exploring Barcelona by boat Visiting the Sagrada Família Jude helming Helios Motor-sailing along the Spanish coast Navigating a new marina If you enjoy authentic sailing vlogs, Mediterranean cruising, and life aboard, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and sail along with us.
