Sailing Across the English Channel | Ep. 5.

From Helgoland to Den Helder, Anna was thrown straight into the deep end. After a tough fight with the harsh North Sea, we arrived in Holland completely exhausted. We took some time to explore Den Helder, connected with the vibe of the city, and our friend Jaime joined us for the next leg of the journey. After stocking up on supplies, we couldn’t delay - we had to keep moving forward, crossing the English Channel while our weather window was still open. We reached Cherbourg, discovering the city once developed by Napoleon, before the wind turned in our favor again and carried us toward the Bay of Biscay. It was cold, the season was already far behind us, and every mile mattered if we wanted to make it to the Canary Islands before Christmas. Offshore sailing this late in the year is never easy, but the adventure must go on. 🌊 If you enjoy the journey, don’t forget to subscribe and consider joining our Patreon crew for behind-the-scenes content and exclusive updates!
