oh my god this is a nightmare so we've
got this bow I feel so sorry for these
guys
Brian's there on the tender trying to
get onto their boat to help him I don't
know what they're gonna do we've got
about 30 knots that guy is done so well
not to hit other boats he just came in
here came down turned around in this
little gap and gone back up and he's
fair enough he smashed into that boat
but other than that he is tan bloody
well Oh Jacob they keep getting turned
side onto the wind and as soon as your
side onto the wind and it's there strong
you can't get out of it if you just
drift come on guys we've got boats
moving their fart and centaur these guys
move in they've dragged those guys over
there
that just got hit by the monster boat
they've dragged their move in Ryan's
still trying to help him over there
they're getting caught side on again I
was Ryan at the front I think he's
trying it I think they've got the anchor
up now
it looks like he is going really fast
and he is but you've gotta cuz otherwise
you just got no control in the wind come
on and they hold in and they hold in no
okay they they just ruin curds
it's stuck for a bit now they've dragged
again I don't know what they're going to
do they're trying to drop the anchor in
the channel now and reverse back see if
that holds better come on guys and
they're in thank God for that poor guy
bless him this smile on his face
he's gonna feel like an absolutely hero
it's about one o'clock in the morning
we've got some really strong winds it's
averaging about 18 19 knots pretty
consistently I think we're gonna be up
most of the night on watch because lots
of boats have dragged we've been fine
but we just and we do you want to want
to rest again I was just having a little
sleep
so stops
and then I'm gonna wake him up in a few
hours and he can take over yeah it's
gonna be another Siva last night I think
so this is what we've got coming through
this big pants the red bits it is it's
really strong like 40 knots we are here
so I think we're up here and it's just
coming down further and further so I
would not like to be out in that starts
getting better about Wow
it's about 10 ish tomorrow and slowly
dies down
and then it was it's so good we're
hoping to cross leave around Wednesday
morning it's a head over to Sardinia
fingers crossed this does just pass them
will be all good to actually finally
leave this is how confident we've now
got with say then casual twenty knots
[Music]
no they're just bouncing around like a
bloody ping-pong is that the right now a
pinball we've got a boat in front of us
that has just hit the boat behind they
were like sort of pin to them side on
but they've been being doing weird
movements all day they were too close
they knew it they didn't bother move in
now they're in front of us Gary and
Linda they're on the big boat that
dragged this morning they're dug in now
fine but this boat is is really quite
close where's Arturo an illuminating
it's just down there where
yeah French French flag that's the one
that just got hair in there yeah we're
leaving here today and we are finally
heading to Sardinia I think this is the
fourth time I've tried to go yeah the
fourth time in the weather has not been
right so today we've checked this
morning and it looks like it's still
gonna be okay so that is amazing
it should take about 30 hours it's two
hundred and two hundred and eight miles
well that's that's straight there to win
a bone straight there we're gonna head
across and then down the coast
and then down the coast because it's a
really cool place that's supposed to be
good for kite surfing and and one wants
to have practice at that so that's the
plan we're just gonna undo the sail bag
and then we'll be heading off pulling
the anchor and away we go this is it our
last place in Menorca hopefully yeah
yeah
sorry nice to get back so far it's been
pretty mundane within six point two six
months of the home
we got 9 knots of wind we've got the
main up as a lightweight sail and the
swell half of me huh oh yeah pretty
simple hopefully it stays like this how
many miles we've got that 175 yep so and
almost to report at the moment
just going down first night we're not
very fast now the winds bit gusty just
waking up it just said quick hours now
Suns gone down now so I'm gonna go back
and have another hour and then come on
my share and what's been going on Harry
Wow
got overpowered yeah but now there's no
bloody wing so I know there's wind
coming to know it from from what we
check the windy before we left no I was
hoping this would be the first sale
we've ever done longer than 24 hours
we've never done one where we haven't
used the engine so where do we get the
light wind out again just for an hour
[Music]
yeah right all right ago and you
insisted of getting the light wind out
yeah yeah okay we'll keep the gym
I hate see the window pick us up in a
minute no I'm downstairs died so I think
we've got about 5 knots gotta live it
out it's not
I think it's probably gonna end up being
too nice a shame but it is we don't know
about the engine and the waste diesel
seven o'clock in the morning Brian's
just going to sleep now I'm just taking
over to do my four-hour shift we've been
averaging about six and a half seven
knots for the last four hours which is
amazing so let's just come out I'm
here's a little bit choppy but it's not
too bad
winds only about 10 knots oh pretty
beautiful really there's no
they just keep pluggin so we put the
engine on hopefully we'll only have it
on for like 20 minutes half hour and
then the window be back at we can fail
Ryan's just woken up so I'm going to go
for athletes pop is chilling up here
I'm wearing what are you doing all right
our friend James Davis
we did yeah spell it beyond there is
hope
yeah fingers crossed you get one well
I'm probably the worst fisherman like me
the fish doctor be totally back to 100%
the wind came back about three hours ago
so we've got the main and the light wind
back out I mean we're doing quite good
speed and then the winds got a little
bit much so we put the light wind away
and got the ship back out and now we're
going along a relatively good speed sort
of five and a half knots ish we've got
the wings going between eight knots and
11 knots so yeah we're pretty pleased
with that speed and at least beacons and
engine ostrich's amazing we did have a
little bit of drama and mine was very
upset because his hat lure dude blow off
it dip below okay I knew I would get
blamed for this so we're here we're just
coming in now I've been asleep for the
last like five hours brian has been
unbelievably kind and just let me sleep
which is amazing so I'm feeling good I
think we're gonna have a little bit of a
nap well Ryan's gonna have a bit of
sleep I think when we get here and then
we're gonna head out and explore yeah
this is it
[Music]
I don't know whether you could see this
flamingos flying
this is gonna be back Thailand
we have 1.23 miles today I'm supervised
all right in your heart
[Music]

out over the lover she's just logging
for lads just come into the Anchorage
