The dodgiest anchorage EVER (why did we even try?!) #37
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2019
- This week, we are leaving Cartagena and set sails towards the Balearics! This time a year, the weather in the Mediterranean is still unstable, and we need to make a few stops along the way to dodge some weather.
Our first stop is in Mar Menor, an inland lake East of Cartagena. We spend our first night at anchorage there before setting sails towards Calpe. On our way, we pass Benidorm, and one of the highest building in Spain among what looks like Manhattan.
We arrive in Calpe under motor, only to find winds that pick up so much that we have to abort our anchoring operation and go find shelter on the other side of the rock…

Sophie et Ryan, j’adore vos videos! Je vais a La Manga del Mar Menor depuis 35 ans, quand j’étais tout petit. Et qu’est-ce que ça a changé et malheureusement pas pour du bien! Ton attente du Mar Menor, nature, plages désertes… c’est mes souvenirs d’enfance!
Your videos are great guys! I really enjoy them and I am binge watching from the very beginning! Keep it up!
Hi guys. I have totally been binge watching your channel whilst in lockdown, Brisbane, Australia. What keeps me watching? Sophie’s gorgeous personality. So humorous !!! Love watching you cook on board. Don’t give up your dream. Love how real and raw you both are. 💕🇳🇿
So I’ve just found your channel a couple days ago and I’ve been binge watching since the first episode. I love your guys absolute realism with your yachting life.
But Anyways hello from all the way over in New Zealand. I’ve learnt so much from you both and can’t wait to continue watching.
Sophie you’re funny when you’re ‘’scoped,” big ole sleepy eyes. Scopolamine never did that for me. But I took it for vertigo caused by a brain injury, so...can I just say again that what I love about your channel is how authentic y’all are. I trained as an actor. And there was this exercise where we were supposed to play ourselves. We had to leave the room, then come back and apologize for being late-as ourselves. I failed! I had to keep doing it over and over, and the teacher and my classmates told me I wasn’t acting like me....?! I still have nightmares about it.
Good communication between you two and enjoy your videos but you made the best of the anchorage and still have the boat intact
Just found your channel about a month ago. I've been enjoying your videos so much. You two seem to work so well together. I love your sense of humor Sophie, and Ryan is so studious. Best wishes!
Aw thanks! Your comment is totally making my day!
After watching your videos I am always in a better mood because of your energy and love of life. Thank you.
Good decision guys, you rock!
When I saw you had posted this video this morning been looking forward all day to watching and you don’t disappoint!My favourite channel well done you two !!
Well done Ryan, I'm a fan.
Thanks for the support Doug. Ryan
Hey Guys, really enjoyed this video looking forward to the next one
Great video guys, and it was lovely to have met you here. That damn rock hey...! Glad you came and conquered it.
Thanks Alan! That rock.... I’m glad we eventually chose the marina 😆
Sure is great to see you two finally sailing Polar Seal again. It never seems to fail when your finally ready to go and something breaks on the boat. Good call on shifting anchorages. Can't wait for the next video to find out what happened to Ryan's shoes. Got to be a good story in it. LOL!!! :)
Great video
another great video !!! ...... Nice !!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :) /Soph
Fair points and a good informative video! The thing that scares me the most, (like you mentioned) is someone going overboard unconscious without a lifejacket on. It's almost a guaranteed game over if someone doesn't go in the water after them immediately. If you are only 2 on the boat and you are sailing, chances are you're not gonna be able to do that. Not gonna promise to wear mine all of the time though, I will asses the conditions and potential risk but like you said, this will cause disagreements :) Cheers, Chris
The Mar Menor [Minor Sea] is not a lake, it's a coastal saltwater lagoon ;) It's a major tourist destiny in Spain, hence the building saturation
The Mar Menor was the first place I took my sons sailing. Lovely place and lovely microclimate.
Always better safe than sorry in everything that you do on the boat. Good decision to change your anchoring location.
Sophie does Ryan always send you to work with the anchor in 6 to 8 foot seas coming over the bow while he stays in the dry, steady cockpit playing with his telephone? Next time tell him to go and play with the anchor in 6 to 8 foot seas while you stay in the cockpit playing with his phone! Ha ha ha
This is couing Amman! ... at least it looked like it before the opening!
That’s probably what made me want to buy it... unfortunately, the taste had nothing to do with my beloved hometown’s pastry.
(Now I have a craving for it btw 😂) /Sophie
I look at many of your RUclips videos and this because I can't stop laughing continuously when I hear the English accent of Sophie, that combination between English and French language is so so funny, she can try in future to use his voice for animated cartoons :)))(
Catching you up guys. Whats with the swell outside Celpe? Had the same thing in different winds . Must be the seabed rise or something. Having said that what a lovely spot inside the marina there. Actually worth the € spend for a sub 12 mtr boat . Done our hop over to the islands some great sailing and a pod of Pilot whales. Sail safe guys, great Video. Ant & Cid xx Oh and the pooch crew :-)
Sophie, you are so upbeat, enthusiastic and happy all the time. The contrast between you and Ryan is dramatic. Next time you’re in a big port, You should find a shop where you can buy Ryan some of the same qualities, cheers🤣😂
Your comment is trash.
Visit Alcazares! Been there few times, nice food, wonderful people!
Surely, it’s strange to sail in a Mediterranean lake, the Med itself is a huge lake!
Try to go to Murcia!
Fair wind!
Hi Sophie and Ryan, I love you videos! I am always looking forward for next episode. Sophie you are so funny! And Ryan you should start smoking weed and be more relax:) You seams to be stressing to much. Just chill out, you are living dream!
Ryan, you could make a fortune if you could bottle Sophie's sparkling personality.
Oh my, don't say that, he'd be tempted to try! 😅 /Sophie
@@RyanSophieSailing 💕
You nailed it mate. Sophie is really really special, so charming.
Ryan you should do what you should've done years ago: buy her a nice ring, and get da fock down on your knees and beg her to marry you! Seriously.
Cheers.
Nice Dubarry boots!! Curiosity: Are comfortable also knee Dubarry country boots for sailing?
I just returned from the Balaearic coast of Spain yesterday. I was traveling from Valencia to Gandia to Cartagena and all places in between, having bought a Hans Christian 33 in Cartagena and putting her on a ship in Gandia to be transported back to the US. Such a beautiful part of Spain! I recognized that Valiant 40 "Valiant Lady," which was covered with blisters in the marina in ruclips.net/video/SChblawvZ44/видео.html . Small world! Safe passages to you two, thanks for your videos.
Oh yeah! We remember Valiant lady, she was docked right by us :)
Noticed that your dingy wasn't on the new davits, did you put it away for your passage? Good fast repair on the isolator.
No, we did not blow the dinghy up until the balarics.. but we have been using the davits for the last two weeks and its working great! - Ryan
Well Spain is very open to the sea. So the winds and waves are quite common.
It’s always wise to look for a natural “shield” especially on waves. If the wind get stronger simply add more chain (away from rocks), but the waves keep you bouncing all the time. It kills you
Yes, those waves... I don't know what we were thinking about trying to anchor in that! /Sophie
Sophie,
You should look into getting a Relief Band for your ongoing motion sickness issue. I promise you it works and you will be fine thereafter without medication. You can purchase it on Amazon. ( I have no relationship with the company ) It has completely eliminated my motion sickness issue altogether. Just try it...
A.J. Beisler
Do you mean you have tried the battery operated ones that deliver a low grade shock to the median nerve? Wow, that is a bummer. Go safe. And I just got the hat.
Thanks
AJB
I have a pair of relief bands onboard, but unfortunately they don't work for me... BUT I found a technique that works for me and annihilates my seasickness in 30 seconds without medicine (I'll demonstrate in a coming video :)) Thanks for the support though :) /Sophie
Sophie for the beaches you imagine come to the Pacific atolls, some of which are french :)
Yes!!! I’d love to go sail in French Polynesia! :)
Ryan & Sophie Sailing Well get your yacht over here! 😀
We have a saying about the reliability of cars and boats in the US: "If I had a horse, it would always be stepping in gopher holes." Meaning, even if it was a horse, things could go badly wrong.
Be glad your boat wasn't built by Audi or BMW, you'd have to bring it back to a dealer for customer software diagnostic tools every time a light blinked.(G)
Drunk tourist and Mediterranean are inseparable 🍻😂
Can't really blame them... the wine is good in this part of the world! 😋😅/Soph
Hi , so I guess you probably figure out that you might be getting the afternoon 'Sea breeze' effect when you get close to land ........ is there a way you could use that to get better sailing winds? , staying close enough to shore to get the effect ....... I'm sure they used to do that before the days of engines in sailing boats! ( I'm always thinking about wonderful sailing historical novels by C.S Forrester, Alexander Kent during the Napoleonic wars in these waters) . Cheers Warren
Yes, we've experienced that a bit, but nothing compared to what we experienced that day! The guys on the catamaran we passed at the anchorage became friends of ours after that "incident" and they told us the winds just shifted when we arrived. What an experience! 😅/Sophie
Ryan & Sophie Sailing 'what? unpredictable winds in the Mediterranean, who would have thought! 😜😜😜Warren
4:35 it sounds like you're saying cat food
What happens if you accidentally step on one of those flush solar panels you have on the deck, are they ruined?+1 again guys.
We step on them all the time! They are made for this :) www.sunbeamsystem.com/en/ /Sophie
hi. enjoying your videos. how much is the draught on your boat. i thought mar menor was very shallow. regards
Abby
Hi Abby, The Mar Menor is shallow but most parts are between 3 and 6 meters. We draft 1.78 so it was really no problem. - Ryan
@@RyanSophieSailing thanks. our boat is 1.9 so deffinatelly will be going there
Little Marie Sunshine. I wear a patch on my neck so I don’t get seasick watching.
Left hand for hand very unusual meant to be very clever people best wishes from Melbourne Aus
Forks, knives and... anti-squid??? What does that mean?
It’s anti-skid, but I pronounce it wrong all the time :) prevents forks, knives and plates to glide around all the time!
Sophie who wares Boots on a Sailboat? Seriously someone stole his shoes?
Quite a few people actually! Those Dubarry Ultima boots are the best sailing boots ever. I love them! And yes... someone stole Ryan’s shoes 😳 Crazy!
@@RyanSophieSailing Oh no not the clogs???
If you ask Ryan, that’s what he prefers 😂
