so just get ready to leave we're going

too far today it should be about a four

or five day sale we'll even with our

friend Anna and saman over there on

Sheila and we've also got Fabian and

Sebastian on their boat over there but

all even together all going to the same

place that should be good and we're off

so we've left the marina now we've got

our main up we did get our jib out but

we saw on our German friends they got

their jib in because I think they were

overpowered so we're just going around

the island and we think that there's a

bit of a tunnel or acceleration zone

coming

we're settling into our first night now

we both come downstairs we've set alarms

for every half hour we can go up and

check the AIS but everything else we can

see down here we can see wind direction

wind speed which isn't that great at the

minute and we've got our chartplotter

here as we can see the speed and how

much distance we've got got 400 miles

left what you watching

[Music]

nearly 6 knots please do that

that's the other one going

let's be well first do you ever feel

much of this trip because this is

literally the most exciting thing that's

happened to us

it's already

so we are 235 miles from the nearest bit

of land then help us pigeons fly by

reckon I better long day still got a

little fans there very disobedient I set

them up a little home some bread and

water what do they want to do sit there

and all over the deck unbelievable

and see lots of these today turtle just

noticed that the main Hamlet has taped

through a little bit as Ryan's just

wrapping some electrical tape around

there I think we're gonna have to chop

that end off and realized it just bit of

a pain

we've got a pretty rubbish day sailing

today we've had between nothing and five

knots all day actually since last night

about nine o'clock so we've had to run

the engine we are a little bit worried

because we're running out of diesel

we've got 60 litres we think left we've

really run out in Maine but 68 is left

in the Arctic and then we've got 20

meters in a jerrican but we're gonna

have to motor the whole time because

there's no wind we are gonna run out how

many miles you've got left we have

exactly 200 miles left to do and we've

come 200 before

so literally the riddler very well but

we are really excited because it looks

as though there's a bit of a weather

front coming through we're not sure but

if it brings win

we've got a bit of stress over the last

two days because there has been

absolutely no wind and we left with 100

liters of fuel commitment to have good

winds and we've got like 20 litres of

fuel left and we're still 180 miles

and the shipping is giving a lot heavier

now we're getting closer to Europe in

Gibraltar so we were starting to get a

little bit worried and didn't know what

to do it's also power we run out of

power

yeah but to generate over the engine and

I went to bed and Fay woke me up

Photography saying we've got 40 knots

never been so happy with you leaked our

bed no we've got full sales up we're

doing seven knots and we might not get

crushed by tanker yes bonus and it's a

beautiful sunset it's not sunset sunrise

yet yeah

sorry I haven't slept a long time how's

your watch going Fay been busy yeah well

sir what's the wind and our speed you

enjoying yourself

I think pops is Ryan how deep is the

water here five thousand eight its Kenya

you can see you actually really clearly

you're tired lines are terrible you just

swam in five kilometres of water

I'm Curtis women I had it yeah all right

yeah so just started my share we are

absolutely tanking along I love it the

feeling of going quick and no engine on

is amazing absolutely buzz in we've got

decent ish winds we've had such crap

weather with the wind for the last I

don't know how long what today's been

really really good as them sunny been

some babe in I've got a hundred miles

left it's hopefully we'll get there

tomorrow afternoon ish I'm still on my

night shift Brian's in bed he's having a

sleep which is good it's gonna take over

for me in about four or five hours of

think it should be very nice so I can

get better sleep the winds died down now

a little bit so we've got on average

about seven knots which is seven knots

of Paran

so our speed is about four and a half

knots which isn't ideal but it's not bad

and I don't want to push the boat too

hard because it's nighttime and I'm

really tired

I'm just making dinner it's a really

late dinner it's about midnight I think

maybe one but when you want passage time

just goes out the window and your body

clock is all completely messed up anyway

say it doesn't nobody matter having

pizzas again stand it

we love a pizza and bought Chelsea so

we've just had a bit of a situation

I was just finished in my shift amber

I'm asleep and suddenly the autopilot

alarms start going off which we've had

problems with deal to pilot before so I

was just thinking our good luck wasn't

me now but it was the rudder so much

tears of rudder so then I sort of

panicked called Ryan huh he came up and

we don't we don't really know what's

wrong but we can't use the autopilot now

also our depth sounder is then we've got

naught point three meters beneath us

Berner mind we're in like 4000 meters of

water so

we don't know what's actually happened

Ron Jenkins check our power and our

power was really really low we would he

said literally we were about to lose all

of our electrics with some of our

systems and we'd say we wouldn't have

had the autopilot anyway but we wouldn't

have had anything Charles

nothing at all plus we don't really have

a lot of diesel and if I DEP sound it

isn't working and we don't have charts

then I've no idea how we negotiate into

a marina or an anchorage or even have

enough diesel to get there in the first

place if there's no wind which we

haven't had a lot of wind so now we put

that generator on so hopefully we can

get a bit of power through that Ryan's

hands Darrin I'm just making him a cup

of tea I'm really hoping I can get some

sleep I can't see that happening and

then yeah hopefully we'll be able to fix

it in the morning and then actually be

able to get to our destination without

any more problems but yeah as always

drama to me

we had a few problems in the night we

lost power and managed to start the

generator

the problem was we've only I lost 20

litres of fuel in the engine

we've got no wind again so we managed to

start a generator for a bit the

autopilot would work and assistance

and now we're having to run the engine

and we're crossing the shipping lanes

for the interest of Gibraltar

entrance going through and we've got

hardly any fuel no wind and I'll just

show you here these are all ships

traveling between 11 and 19 and a half

not that one there is traveling at 19

and a half and these are the lanes we've

got get through a little bit stressed

phase in bed I don't want to wake her up

because I wanted to know what's going on

so don't stress her out too much

fun

where are we Faye I'm we are near

Portugal nearly at the end of our trip

we plot about 20 miles left is it twenty

point five g's might be very bad or they

might be okay we're not sure but

probably just gonna risk it and go down

car and then we can tester and

get new batteries or

yeah I do and where are we go and say

yeah but we have to you know you can't

just I'm going to Portugal where are we

going

near far at paneer we're on our final

approach now we're gonna anchor because

we need to test a few things we're not

sure what's gonna happen we've got about

3 liters of diesel left so we really are

cutting it fine and we've got a bit of a

problem with the batteries we don't know

what they're saying they're 100% but

they're not showing us all of the

different elements of its own we might

have a dodgy battery we're not really

sure but overall it's been quite across

in we're pleased with the sail in has

been some really bad weather in terms of

no wind but it's been nice and sunny

we're finally here taken four days and 7

hours and yeah quite pleased excited to

get there now so we made it and we

learnt how to say it portimão in

portugal is the gorgeous anchorage rip

lefty towns and stunning beaches next

time we'll show you some more when we

take some guests out on Chelsea to visit

the caves
