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]

over Spanish side is nothing night Oh

put the head under the net like hanging

out over the lover she's just logging

for lads just come into the Anchorage

now there's not that many boats here

the sun's not long come up and this is
