Ep 69 We start sailing east again 4K

In this episode we start a new chapter of our journey so after the detour around the Atlantic islands we finally start sailing east towards the Mediterranean Sea but first we got to get back to the boat from our hostel in Sweden and fix our watermaker and install a UV filter that will purify our water from bacteria and viruses. But just a few days after our arrival in Lagos Gitte was rushed to the hospital. 00:00 Episode and channel introduction 01:30 We go back to Frida 02:16 AIS problem 04:45 Gitte needs an ambulance 06:54 Back in boat life 07:41 Splashtime 09:01 Watermaker service and UV-filter installation 13:42 What makes a cruising wife happy? 15:23 Next day will the watermaker work this time? 18:23 Provisioning with my new foldable trolley 18:42 We got to leave right now 21:17 Sailing 26:50 Anchoring 28:04 Meeting up with Salsa af Rindö We are a middle aged couple that has left our hectic business lives to go sailing with our boat Fridá af Wisby and our cat Litza. Our goal is not to go to a specific place but to reach a state of mind where we can really enjoy life. Anders has been at the sea most of his life and sailed for the Swedish national dingy sailing team as a young man. Gitte has also grown up with boats and spent every summer sailing with her father as a teenager but made a pause of about 15 years without sailing as an adult, had just begun to pick-up the interest before she meet Anders in 2017. Onboard we also have our cat Litza a 4 year old Devon Rex we call her the cattain because cats always decide over their humans. Fridá af Wisby is a Wauquiez 47 pilot saloon that we Gitte and Anders bought in UK in 2019 and that we have sailed to Gotland and in season 1 2020 we sail in the Baltic Sea. During season 2 We sailded south to Dieppe Normandy France. After a winter in France in Season 3 we started to sail the Atlantic coast of Europe to Xufre in Spain where we lifted the boat over the summer while we where back in Gotland to work at our hostel we got there. Season 4 got a short sailing season where we only sailed to Lagos on the Algarve coast of Portugal where we hauled out once again this time to go throug a long list of boatwork and to build a solar arch to make the boat more self-suficient with electricity. After 6 months in Lagos we kicked-off season 5 with real bluewater sailing first to the northerly Atlantic island Porto Santo and Madeira and then further out to the Azores that lays in the middle of the Atlantic ocean before turning back towards the mainland and south coast of Portugal again.
