Winded Voyage 3 | Episode 30 | Sailing Around Tenerife Island lll

- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Our last leg of our circumnavigation of Tenerife island ends climactically! Weather predictions don't say much about crazy wind effects near the coastline, and we got thrashed. It makes for good content when I was able to shoot in-between gales. It started off as being an easy sail until we got broadsided by Mother Nature's wrath.

Dan was the man this episode!!! being sick and then step into a rollercoaster. Nice job!
Love it, great that you added Metal music and quick cuts to the edit. makes it more exciting. I was sure you weren't going to make it around the tip, looked like you were heading straight for it. They way you and Daniel talk reminds me of the way my cousins and I talk: talk shit to each other about the other, but there better not be anyone else talk shit about any one of us, as they have your back 150% of the time!!!
We tried to hug the coast, but could not. Eventually yes, we got around, and the waves were more regular. Dan was pretty funny under the circumstance. We jab each other in good fun.
The Viking would be proud of you.
Dont know about that, but I'm sure he's love it here these days. Weather is crazy!
WOW! Most assuredly you are getting right up there with our crazy Viking friend when it comes to "no bullshit just sailing". Poor Daniel got trashed about like a sick puppy, but hanged right in there with you, a true friend indeed!
Thanks once again for taking me on a wild adventure, peace be to you.
Thanks Tree, but I dont think there are many who can get close to The Viking. If he were here, he'd be out. Conditions in the Canaries are quite something. Climate change??? Perhaps, locals say it's not a normal winter.
Great sailing Alex!
Thank you Graeme!
“This is what this life is about”......and we love that you share it.
Thank you.
You got it!
Thanks again for sharing your adventures. Sorry to see Dan not well, hopefully, he is better by now. We have not had the "pleasure" of being caught in a 40-knot wind as yet (and not that we want to). We tend to be coastal sailors for the time being, until we gain more experience. We are looking forward to your next video. Bon chance! Dave & Linda M/S Olivebank
Dan got over it and is back in France. Going out in 40kts is not something you do for fun, (unless you're The Viking). It just happens and you deal with it. Luckily, Galopin is hearty and strong. Thanks for your comment.
So much more fun watching it than having to go through it haha. Thanks for the great video!
Ah brilliant once again Alex. Keep it up man.
Thanks Jim. Will keep on...
A rough day sailing is always better than a good day a work.
Absolutely right!
Great videos always. This was spectacular!
Many thanks!
You handled some pretty tough conditions just fine. Confidence builder. Well done Alex.
Thanks Patrick. Experience is the best classroom.
Thanks
Thank you!
The wind, calm but not reassuring, I was thinking of comparing it to a woman, but a sleeping bear works, and is much safer ;) I enjoy the satellite picture and small vessel to display your location, that is pretty cool. Another great job and thank you for taking us along.
Good point Jeff. Didn't think about that, perhaps because at the moment I'm not in a relationship:-)
Rinse. Repeat !!
Just spectacular.
That was it. I would get doused. Then just as I dried up i got doused again.
Pas mal du tout Alex. I love to see real sailing. Only wish I was there enduring the moment too. Thanks and best from cold HKG 🇭🇰
That was as real as I could capture it. It was worse but had to put the camera down.
Well done everyone
Thanks Brian
Curse at the forecast programm..... I thought it was just me.... Nice as always.
I literally hollered at the top of my lungs!!! F*CK U!!!!
Fantastic and very well captured - just the visual of throwing the camera in the locker was very telling. Alex - I accept those sorts of conditions are extremely difficult to predict but give me some sage advice (I am much less experienced) - accepting that you had not reefed - when the wind really picked up I would have been wanting to run downwind with the boom centred and either drop the main fully, or fully reef it (probably the latter) - what do you think on reflection?
We should have taken the third reef, but we did not think it would blow so hard. And then it was too late and risky to go to the mast to clip the third reef. Dan handled the main and would open it to ease tension, and I ran with the gales. But that took us further out to sea and added miles to our trip. We didn't want to go to far out to sea. To answer your question, there is always one way to do things and another. You just have to hope that the decision you take is the least painful.
Winded Voyage thank you.👍
Reef those sails. If you and your boat are working that hard, you are already late.
Absolutely should have taken a 3rd reef. And as you say it was too late. Now know better.
awsome sailing you must love it idid
It was more a love hate thing:-)
The flu 2017-18 is of the same virus as Asia ten in the early 1960----- so no wonder that you and Daniel was sick. That was to go sailing I would say, god that the sail make it!
Thanks Barbro. The flu was a nasty one, and made it across the ocean to the Canaries.
Nice!!!! SV DIJAN
I like it! Someday you will get trash metal ;)
That was as thrash music as I could find. But it did the trick OK.
Segel viel zu spät gerefft, auf Ratschläge erfahrener Segler nicht gehört. Grob fahrlässig ...
That was more than three years ago. I have learned a lot since, because I was less experienced, and yes, somewhat negligent. But I know better now.
