Sailing the Coast of Death | A tornado, fog and wild weather sailing the Atlantic coast of Spain #13 

Cheers Hatch! Yep both well and living the dream. Just about cast off into the Med in a few weeks time 😎☀️☀️

Good to have you aboard mate. We’ll be on your coastline drinking a cold one (or 3!) before you know it 😎☀️🍺🍺🍺

Thank you Iain. Really appreciate the feedback 😊😊 We’ve both said we’ll try not to be so lazy about the asymmetric in the coming season as it is a useful sail but I guess time will tell! We still need to rig a proper bowsprit for it really as we currently rig the tack line on the anchor roll bar. The anchor is held down by a substantial locking pin so can take the load but a proper bowsprit will be a lot better….it’s on the list! Cheers ⛵️

Cheers Bill. Missed you on episode 12. Glad to have you back aboard 😊⛵️

Cheers guys. It’s nice looking back for us too although we’d like to keep a little bit more up to date in the coming season. Thanks for your support and help 😊⛵️

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it. I’m enjoying making them and learning lots for next seasons filming that starts very soon! Can’t believe it’s almost time to sail on 😎⛵️⛵️

@@FollowIntrepidBear where are you off to next? 😃⛵️

Coast hopping to Gib daylight only to try to avoid Orca’s then pretty much straight across the med to Montenegro to recharge our schengen clock so that we can go into Greece in June…That’s the plan but time will tell I guess! Watch this space 😬😂😂⛵️😎

@@FollowIntrepidBear sounds perfect 👍❤️

It’s our pleasure….thanks for watching 😊⛵️

Thanks Abbie 🙂💜 glad you’re enjoying them and have caught up. There’s plenty of time to go back and watch the ones you’ve missed 😉😁 lots of love back to you, love Mum 💕

It’s our pleasure Laura…appreciate your support 😊⛵️⛵️

Hi there, thank you for following along. 😊 I will certainly try to perhaps put the name of the place when it first appears. I do have some animated maps in the video but appreciate they don’t have many place names on them. Will definitely try to include the full place name as we arrive at each place in future. Thanks for your comment and support 😊⛵️⛵️

Hi Richard, when we bought Intrepid Bear she had a 20kg Bruce anchor on 8mm chain. We upgraded that to a 30kg Mantus anchor on 10mm chain. In Cedeira the depth was only around 4 metres so on the normal 4 x scope we’d have had around 16m of chain out but in those conditions and with no limit on swinging room I can’t recall the exact length we had out but I suspect around 50m. The length of chain dampens any snatching. We’re not sponsored by Mantus but we are super impressed with the holding power. It hasn’t dragged once yet and if it goes into sand or firm mud you know you’re very secure. As for sleeping we do have an anchor alarm on a phone but neither of us slept very well. On reflection we should have stood anchor watches because at least we’d get 4 hours each of decent sleep rather than a whole night with not much sleep. Will definitely go onto watches in those conditions in future. 😊⛵️

One thing we’ve discovered is that we can’t see everything and will miss some awesome places. No idea when or if we’ll be back that way but you never know! 😊 Xx
