North Sea Sailing: Helgoland to Holland in Heavy Weather | Ep. 4

Our North Sea sailing journey takes us from the Kiel Canal and Elbe River out into open water. We set course for Helgoland, our first real offshore passage with Zoé. The sea was calm, but Anna still struggled with seasickness, until a few birds lifted her mood. Little did we know, the real test with heavy seas and strong winds awaited us on the passage to Holland… We spent two days on Helgoland, hoping to see rare birds and stock up on duty-free supplies. Things didn’t quite go as planned and we left instead with just a few cans of food and a bottle of rum. The weather forecast promised nothing but gales for weeks. After much hesitation, we had to make the call: sail on to the Netherlands. The crossing to Den Helder was exhausting. After three exhausting, sleepless days at sea, we finally made landfall in Holland, tired but proud of the passage. Join us on this challenging leg of our sailing adventure, from Helgoland to Holland in heavy weather on the North Sea. 🌊 If you enjoy the journey, don’t forget to subscribe and consider joining our Patreon crew for behind-the-scenes content and exclusive real-time updates!
