Winded Voyage 3 | Episode 68 | Goodbye Beautiful Canary Islands | Season Finale
We are leaving for Cabo Verde but not before taking care of a few things on El Hierro Island. When cleaning the hull a turtle friend says hello while munching on a sardine. We go on a lava hike and I test out a new cool product. Go for some serious fishing and a last trek in the cloud forest. And then we take off to Cabo Verde.

Winded Voyage, Episode 3 takes us to the south of France so we can have a look at real boats I saw online. It's about a six hour drive from Montreux Switzerland to Palavas-les-Flots, my first destination. I scheduled meetings with different brokers and a variety of different boats, from size, condition and of course prices. The selection is vast, and the only way to get a feeling for a boat is to get inside it. In this episode you get a real inside look at vessels for sale in a small part of the south of France. Will I find my vessel for my Winded Voyage? Stay tuned.

This episode takes place in Cartagena Spain. It was a destination I’d been hoping to get to from my frigid days in France and made it to Yacht Port Cartagena in the dark of night. I was also there at the right time, it was Semana Santa or Easter Week. Cartagena was reputed to be a sight to see, and it is. They have very interesting religious processions parading through the streets. Prepare yourselves to watch something unexpected. The other cool thing about Cartagena was that the marina ambiance is the best of my travels so far. As you’ll see, I meet lots of good people there.

The best part of sailing is that you can go anytime. Or can you? After a fun outing with Peixe and family, where young Nelson shows off his captain and dancing skills, we decide to sail to Boavista Island. It's all systems go... or not. We are stopped short by a problem with Otto the autopilot. There are more ways than one to repair things, or not. I'm at Marina Mindelo charging up the batteries and such when François attempts to dock in 20 knots wind. It's not pretty, but we all help him out. It's all part of the live aboard lifestyle.

It's Atlantic crossing season here in Cabo Verde. Many foreign sailors are here a few days preparing to cross the Atlantic. Like the Spanish sailors I just met. One of them a fan of Winded Voyage. He wanted to know if I was for real and if he could host a Cape Verdean party on his catamaran like he had seen in my videos. The Spaniards were in for a surprise.

Meet Marizia, probably the coolest sailor girl ever. We've been friends for a long time, and I asked her if we could do a quick one on one interview. She talks candidly about her new job and too much partying in Sao Vicente. And she gives an inside peek at good fun dancing in Galopin. As well, we meet Peter who's sailed from Senegal with a broken mast.

We went to the island of Santa Antao for the weekend and stayed a week. The tiny coastal town of Cruzinhas has adopted us. Kids and adults come and visit us. There is an huge deserted beach I went to see and ventured swimming, alone. The girls put on a dance show and gets most of the town involved. And me and Peter go for an ultimate cliff jumping challenge into the Atlantic. Yes it takes a village, and the village takes us.

"You'll be walking in no time", is what many people say about full hip replacement surgery. I can confirm it is correct. In this video you will see actual proof of the amazing power of modern medicine. Plus you'll get a look at what life is like in Switzerland. As well we meet a Patreon patron, proving that social media can have positive effects on us, and that it's not all that bad.

15% Discount code: WINDED15
Aleader Watershoes or water shoes are the best shoes ever for land & water.That's just my opinion. But I mean it! Order them here with a discount. Price starts at less than $30!
We gave them the full sailor's test. Which is demonstrated by going from boat to summit. That means using them on deck. Landing the dinghy on the beach. Walking on razor sharp rocks along the coastline and not having to avoid Sea Urchins! Then we climb up a cliff, rocks and gravel all the way up to the crest of the mountain where we enjoy a spectacular view. Our Aleader shoes are dry. They passed this important challenge for live aboard sailors and world adventurers like us. Give them a try.
