Gybing out the Gibraltar Strait [Ep. 132]

Not sure why, but one of my favourite episodes. You really captured the atmosphere of the pure sailing part of the adventure. I've been a long-time lurker, but finally got around to becoming a patron. Cheers!

It's always nice seeing a familiar face! Thank you for bringing Jose along!!

Great title & episode...good seeing Jose again.

Hey Elayna: Can't help it.. you remind me so much of Sheryl Crow. YT "Soak Up The Sun".. you'l see.

Another goodie.

Loving you guys!!! Play some Aussie old school :)

Hi i am climber but with you sailor....thankx

My weekly fix of freedom, long dreamt of,now I'm too old and stiff, but it wasn't meant to be,make the most of it youngsters, don't be a dreamer, do it.I Notice the jackets with hoods.... very enjoyable ep,as usual,keep warm and safe. x

Nice captains chair! I alway dream of having one like that while naviguessing night shift racing! LOL!

Hi guys! Looking good!!!

Loved it, loved it, loved it. Especially the morning tea scene.

New Patron but old follower. Hope to follow Riley's footsteps and be captain of my own vessel, Star Trek style.

I think if you unbolt/unscrew you new chair from its base and rotate it 90 degrees... it should spin around the way you want it to. However... I've been wrong before.

Riley,

The music was awesome on this one guys! Well done!

final clip with Riles swiggin' the carafe of red...... LMFAO...!!!

Thanks for the video. Watching these are THE BEST way to just sit and relax. Like I said before, they're a micro vacation for me. Taking 15 min to watch is more relaxing than a sundowner....really. I'm bummed I wont be able to see the unseen footage on face book. I don't have an account. ( i signed up once, but within ten minutes a coule old girlfiends wanted to "friend" me and my loving beautiful wife asked if i wanted a fourteen inch of laptop suppository. So I chose to close the account. Happy wife happy life). Will you be placing the extra footage on patreon? Take care you guys.

great watch as always

Great video of the GS passage, thanks once again!

Wonderful as always, thank you!

Gybing in the TSS, go Riley!!!

Just another gr8 vid! I love the scenes & Josje is a treat. How fantastic with the ships passing in the night knowing u from ur blogs! Small, small, small world. Luv ya!

Looks fantastic, great to have another vid from you. The Gibraltar straights or The eye of the needle as German U-Boat Captains called them, well done. Great filming, thanks.

Yes! please more of your sailing strategies and planning! Also, would you dedicate a full episode to the vessel itself (she deserves it!!): display her beauty in dif angels, likes, dislikes, sailing under dif. weather, how you enjoy and use dif sails, how you guys work together to jibe and tack, how you do it solo, etc... I'm not a sailor, but these are just a few things that come into mind.. Good vibes!

Beautiful Flow of Everything Sailing here. Music choice per usual Ba Bam! Always Great to see Josje on a Boat, She's a natural on the sea. Love the tea bag saying. Great Stuff Elay and Riles! cheers Steve

Awesome video yet again guys! The unconditional moments in the episodes such as the possibility of somehow communicating with locals without having any idea of what they are actually saying and the solumn experiences you have when you talk with people who share your passions is really why I love watching the videos every Tuesday night. Josje is such a perfect fit for la vaga too so don't let here stay away too long. On a seperate note, I couldn't help noticing that the success in the ol fishing arena has slowed down recently and after speaking of old footage, a thought came into my mind that maybe it is time to resurrect Alfred...?

We love Josje. Keep her on board permanently

Thanks for another awesome video. Mad love from California!

Breaker 19 breaker 19 La Vagabonde, La Vagabond, Josje (Keep it Real here) Way to go Gibing Gibraltar - Isn't it amazing how far you have come, been there done that and been there done that again. What a life you have. Well done. Go Figure - Mediterranean Done ! The hysterical / Historical warfare fortifications on Gibralta are quite incredible. We had relatives who were stationed there during WWII - it was mined, it was a very complex part of the world and looks so right back in history English on one site Spanish on the other. Great Vid XX Pete >> Gibraltar: It refers to the Rock of Gibraltar, which was named after the Umayyad general Tariq ibn-Ziyad who led the initial incursion into Iberia in advance of the main Umayyad force in 711 under the command of Umayyad Caliph Al-Walid I. Earlier, it was known as Mons Calpe...

Loving it...looks like a whole lot easier than the last time... 😀👍

Gybing out the Gib! Will do it one day.

Good to see Jose again. She brings a lot of good spirit on board. This will be needed on the tough cruise through the Gabralta straits.

Great episode, has the old feel about it

Back out into the big pond, still lots of crappy weather in the Northeast, hope you have fine seas and winds to the Canaries, stopping in the Azores ?

Enjoyed it as usual, really liked it when you went through the canal next to the walls in Ceuta, really want to get to Spain one day when it is not too hot

Yo Elayna

Back out on the wide open sea again. Freedom. The new pilot chair’s like a boss 👍
