Offshore sailing in the Doldrums, a sailors nightmare. Join us as we plot our way through frustrating calms and challenging squalls sailing from South America to Trinidad. With nothing to see but sea sky, we had our heads in the clouds as nature painted a beautiful skyscape above us.
We have been sailing around the world for 6 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.

With the quality of not just cinematography, but also the story telling, you two need to pitch a TV series to whoever. Matt and Amy sail......insert area of the world here. Maybe you might have to add a so called celebrity, but it would be brilliant 👏 😀

I just love it when you two simply wait it out for some wind to come along and not just turn on the engine when the wind disappears. I think years ago sailing, my Cal 29 and then my Challenger 35 Ketch, sailing on Lake Ontario, NY/Ontario, Canada, I would most always wait for the lost wind to reappear before using the engine. Most years We sailed every weekend somewhere on the Lake and never usually used 40 gallons of gas or diesel in the season from April 1st to November 1st. We never had to lister to the engine except for entering port or a marina.

Many years ago in the late 1970's, I was sailing from Recife Brazil to the Azores and spent approximately 2 weeks becalmed/ or moving very slowly in the doldrums without the use of an engine which we ran only to charge batteries. I actually really enjoyed it, we had many fish had taken residence around the hull, when we were moving usually there were several dorado in our bow wave, I spent many hours sitting on the bow trying to catch them (successful on one or two occasions). We swam daily either by being towed at low speed behind the boat or when completely becalmed was amazing to just jump overboard to cool off and look down at the school of barracuda just visible below or we had dolphins visit numerous times while we swam. We had one small striped fish about 8 or 9 centimetres which we first noticed in Brazil sheltering under our hull when we were at anchor and it stayed with us the entire passage to the Azores. I thoroughly enjoyed sailing through the doldrums - it felt like a summer vacation, though by the end we were very glad to reach Ponta Del Gada after 42 days at sea a voyage we had expected to take 30 days

Really very inspiring to see the way you fixed the frayed sock, and broken sail lug! All the things need to be OK on a boat ... a bit like steeplejacks not looking down, it doesn't really do as a sailor to reflect that your entire enterprise is hanging by some cunningly arranged threads. Amazing and Beautiful video - they just keep getting better. Thanks so much.

Formalities first, I was stunned to see what you saw with the garbage In the northern Pacific there are huge ships and a massive collection system collecting plastics from the water, and then there's this. I felt angry. On to pleasantries, one of the very best you have shown us. Those stunning scenes of cloud and penetrating sunlight bring back my days of tuna fishing for 5 days at sea, I must admit, I had a tear for the shear beauty and excellent memories brought back. I will be looking on this one for a while and pausing on those still shots, beautiful photographs.

Hi, Both my wife and I sail, but just a 26 foot Mc Gregor… We started watching your videos quite a while back and liked them so much we went back to the beginning and watched them all. Today is a momentous occasion as we’ve just caught up and are now in real time! 🎉🎉🎉 The down side is we also have to wait a couple of weeks for the next instalment 😟Anyway, great job, we’ve loved them all! Keep it up!!!

@@artsmith103 Ours is a 26m with double back axels. We trail from Matlock in Derbyshire to our mooring in South Wales about 300 miles. We generally sail the coast of Wales, Devon and Cornwall, although during the first lockdown did 500 miles on the inland waterways. Nice to hear from a fellow Mac owner… especially one who can spell MacGregor! (Auto-correct! 😜)

I love your photographs of the sea and the sky in the morning. I used to love getting off the dock or the anchor at 5 am before my crew/family was awake, up, and around. It was so beautiful to be under way, either sail or power, at the break of day. Just me and my sailboat. How beautiful nature is in the morning.

Another great video! I’ve sailed that passage into the Trinidad anchorage, past diamond rock, many times but never really appreciated how beautiful it was until seeing it again on your video. Things do look different when viewed from a ship. It’s illegal for any ship to dump plastic at sea, so the vessel you passed was being both irresponsible and breaking the law.
@SailingSteelSapphire
@SailingSteelSapphire Год назад
Wow - that passage really did have it all. And annoying and frustrating thought it must have been at times, we really enjoyed watching you tackle it with your usual good humour and recognition that even a crappy pssage is MUCH better than beng stuck onshore for months on end (ask us how we know 🙂).

Hi Matt and Amy, its good to see you again. Sweet, peaceful sailing you had in the Doldrums all the way down on your way to Trinidad. I forgot whether I have mentioned it before but I was born and raised next to the ocean in a house located a few yards from the beach in the city of Cartagena Colombia, sailed for five years in the bay area of Bahia Portete, Colombia on the most northern tip of South America, 700 miles west of Trinidad, working in the area of marine operations, on board a tugboat helping in buoy maintenance, berthing and departure, draft surveys etc, of huge 180.000 DWT vessels, for the giant oil company Exxon. Beautiful, stunning scenery arriving at anchorage off Trinidad. I wish you a safe trip on your way to Tobago. The bears went on vacations again, so this time around I send to you only big hugs, love you guys, rgs 🌎⛵❤
