I will be following the adventure this time. Thanks for the Card you dropped off

Very nice adventure and a great sailboat. Thanks for sharing. Saludos desde España.

We made Landfall in Porto Santo when we sailed from Lagos. I thought it was a lovely place because the sand was a normal colour & not black as in Madeira. Outside of the marina village there was nothing but a rocky landscape so a bus was necessary to get anywhere. Maderia was a bit more industrial where we tied up. Nice memories though.

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

I now (October 30th) have a noise reduction muffler for the microphone which I will use in future videos when crossing the Atlantic

Fantastic, you went to visit the tea plantation, is the only one in Europe, thanks for sharing.

Minimal face pictures . Good video, shows us what it’s like out at sea in a yacht 👍👍🇬🇧

Keep your mic out the wind, fit a muffler cover!! Fair winds.

Fantastic, thanks for sharing. New subscriber.

That sea looks fantastic.

The very best of luck with your adventure and looking forward to tagging along sort of 😊

Very enjoyable vid thanks. She's handling those conditions well. A swing around of the camera to see the sails would be good.

Just found your channel. Love it Simple and enjoyable, without any made up drama. Nice work

Congratulations for your chanel... and Rutsler.

Dear Mike, Any chance that you could get a furry mike that reduces the wind noise? It is difficult to make out your wise words whilst you are at sea! Best, D.

Hi Mike, another great video, however the wind over the microphone made it very difficult to hear you. When we did the Arc in 2013 on a Moody46 we also had mostly downwind sailing with 35 knots of apparent wind. The wind vane had cords operating the the wheel across the cockpit & seemed to cope very well for the 22 days across the Atlantic. We had 4 reefs in the main & a very small amount of Genoa poled out. We turned the engine on to boost the batteries in the evening for washing up & also so that we had enough battery for the navigation lights. Cheers.

Could have watched the waves and boat sailing all day

Perfect video no facial shots . We on land want to know what it’s like out there, we see plenty faces here !! Perfect video 👍👍

Intresting post mike 👍

Much better when you talk but show the boat sailing , facing camera on your face not very interesting just saying

I thought to do some videos like this, walking round the dock and places I visit- haven’t yet but you’ve inspired me to try it - it’s pretty interesting from the audience’s point of view. Thx!

Love the start-😂 100% sailor -‘ it’s Monday, maybe, I think…. ‘

Nice video Mike thanks for sharing 👍

Enjoying your adventure vicariously Mike. Absolutely brilliant.

Well done Mike 👍

Ample sailing. Best of luck.
