I think we're gonna motor out and then

tuck back in all right

[Music]

mother Claire

it's about 30 miles so if you can get

some good speed up and could do it in

about five hours

but it depends people attack out a

pinnacle when are you going to cut your

hair iron when you can do a back I tell

you what really

all right deal done it's on how fast we

got left Ryan in distance now we're

about to tack a lot of entrer that was

sailing yes could be getting in in the

dark

hopefully not we've really don't want to

get too far out in the dark because

there's lots of crab pots outside and

they can be a little bit dangerous if

you've got the engine running and they

can get caught around the prop so if

it's dark up soon we won't be able to

see them it's also pretty shallow and

we've had a few horror stories about

boats hitting land so we're just coming

in too far right now with the end of our

trip taking us about eight hours we've

had ok windows didn't just be really

quite strong but it wasn't it was fine

we had quite strong current against us

though so that how does that quite a bit

we've now got no wind so we've got

engine on and the manor but we wanted to

get here before it's dark we have

succeeded is it

neighbor about one mile away entrance

Ankara and then we're done

very massive current coming in here that

does not let nice nice beach so you

typical alright seven now we had a bit

of trouble on Queen here cuz the uncle

worked again we kept dragging we

eventually got it sack had some dinner

then went bad it's a real fresh blue

jam-packed day the next day

throughout early today because we need

to take copies around we couldn't take

care yesterday because it was really

quite late and the company see what we

were doing or no we had to go so she

just went to the toilet in the bathroom

and we're gonna take her this morning

perhaps if you want to gonna walk in

your high five yeah

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

yeah good girl

such a beautiful place and there's

plastic and rubbish everywhere and that

was purely just walking back on this

purely just walking back from the beach

was now just over there 15 minutes 15

minutes

we didn't stray more than 10 feet yeah

yeah

ah there's bins right there for it as

well

we think we were about here so we've

dragged this not

not very good

we - I'm Ryan service in the winch's my

have to do that sticking so what you've

got to clean all of their I'm wd-40 in

it and taking out all of the old grease

and dirt and I'll read grease it with

that grease and put the oil on the

tappers because if you pick the grease

if you put grease on these they can

stick and if they stick then the winch

will just free spin with any load on

them on the halyards or sheets so won't

hold it no it won't hold it these are

what stop it so this is your mechanism

like this and it has your winch in they

click on to the next one yeah stop it

from going backwards now if you put

grease on them and they stick closed

there's nothing stopping the whole thing

just fling it out yeah and that's you

can break your arm or or at least get

injured laughing no but yeah look at the

stay of it should have done this a while

ago yeah what you're doing it now before

anything happens it's the main thing

how's it going babe yeah good um I'm

just gonna put it back together

nice don't it we got off at about half

6:00 this morning the plan is to head to

Cadiz which is eight to four nautical

miles away we plan for it to take us

most of the day and hopefully we'll get

in there before it gets too dark we're

gonna stay in there overnight and then

head to Gibraltar early tomorrow morning

the wind is looking light but it's

supposed to you get a bit stronger the

further away from the coast we are so we

get out there and see what it's like

Wow

that just turned the boat so I guess

this boy here is sort a being back how

at the moment we've got about six knots

of wind so we put the like wind sail up

we're doing about four knots which isn't

ideal but hopefully we'll get a bit

stronger so the wind picked up quite

fair

we had gusting to about 28 knots we're

going downwind which we love we're doing

we've been averaging about seven eight

knots of speed which is pretty good for

us we've got the main and the jib out

we've reached the main twice just

because it got a bit strong and we

didn't feel that confident having an out

boat was kept turning into wind and so

we were overpowered so we briefed we're

now thinking we may just go straight to

Gibraltar

the problem with Gibraltar is the type

so when the tide is coming out it's

quite a massive current so it's

difficult to go into against the tide we

think if we can get to a certain point

so we've got four to two miles left if

we can get there by about midnight then

we're just going to keep going and get

to Gibraltar hopefully early in the

morning but another factor is the wind

quite strong still we don't really want

to be going round the point of Gibraltar

with sort of 20 knots of wind it can let

it's been said that it can double in the

Gibraltar Straits because it's like a

huge acceleration zone so if we've got

20 knots doubles to 40 it's

gonna be ideal we'll get there pretty

quick but yeah that'd be very fun so

we're still trying to make the decision

we're not sure we've gone past Cadiz now

so what if we do stop we're going to

pull in at a different marina but we'll

see
