Hello! Today, Natacha and I are sailing to Cape Verde. So you won't hear from us for a about a week. The time it will take to get there. Conditions look good. Just have to fill up with diesel and were off early afternoon Canary time. This episode is when we finally we sail out of La Palma. Our frien

Now that we have Natcaha on board we prepare to sail south. That means testing out a new drone with was delivered. Thank you Patrons, you made this possible! We also do some provisioning, I get marked forever, meet the Marina staff, have one last outing with friends and have a thorough look into my

Hola Patreon amigos. This episode is a little risqué. It's already been flagged as being "not suitable for all audiences". Just because there are a few wet bikinis. Hope you all will find this suitable for your tastes. If not, apologies. It's just the way it was here on Isla de La Palma. Personally

Before I was sailing on my Winded Voyage, I would watch the show "Naked & Afraid". I loved it. And this episode reminded me of the show. Not That I would spend 20 days in the wild for an episode, two days in The Caldera de Taburiente was enough to see this spectacular National Park. This was the lan

This episode is already controversial! As I was uploading, I got this message from YouTube: "Not suitable for most advertiser. Review requested". And this was before they reviewed it. It was not even uploaded yet and they made this decision. Why? Well you'll just have to see for yourself. Thanks for

We make land fall on La Palma island after our overnight sail and 3 of the crew leave Galopin. Which leaves me and Natacha to discover more of the island. While visiting the town of Los Llanos we stumble into a bar full of Columbians watching the World Cup where we end up dancing and drinking the af

That's right. Can't get enough great sailing. And we get plenty. Every time I sail the Canaries, something fabulous happens! So I'll let you see what unfolds in this episode and keep this note short. Much love and big hugs. You make this happen! Alex. Winded Voyage 3 | Episode 55 | Can't Get Enough

Back on Tenerife, the parents come to visit, as well as my brother Steph and his girlfriend Andrea. We visit a few places I hadn't seen and go for a short but climactic sail with Mom and Mickey. And with Steph and Andrea we go out and see whales and dolphins galore, as they come and join Andrea for

Every island in the archipelago is different. All have something special. And La Palma island does not disappoint. It is La Isla Bonita, the beautiful island. It's also the most Latino of all the islands because of the abundant population of South Americans. As well it is the most lush and green. Hu

La Palma Island truly is La Isla Bonita, The Beautiful Island. And luckily I'm accompanied by lovely Natatcha to discover it. Which means there is a bit of nudity in this episode, but it's all in good fun. And don't worry you'll get a lot of scenery and some of the usual quirky folks. Winded Voyage

Well, last week's episode exploded all expectations. Certainly mine. over 600'000 views, 4'000 new subscribers all because of the thumbnail image which features beautiful Natacha. In fact the most popular episodes all feature some kind of sex appeal. And they are not necessarily the best episodes. T

Galopin gets his kicks in this episode, as do I. We dance, sail, swim and party in the company of an all girl crew. We go to charming and trippy Valle Grand Rey on La Gomera island. And there we meet some more interesting people and go for a real winded test. One of our new friend takes some amazing

It happens to most sailors to have a fire aboard. But it doesn't always happen that one of five girls starts that fire aboard. And it had to happen to me. And it doesn't stop there as Captain Nelli adds fuel to the fire. I got in touch with my feminine side in this episode, and I also got to see how

Hi Winded Voyagers! This is the ultimate sport fishing episode, as the guys finally catch the huge prized beast of the deep blue. But it takes a fight.

Hello everyone! I've left the hippie community for a few days to tend to my auto-pilot at the marina. There I met some sport fishermen. A different breed of people from the cave dwellers.

Hola amigos. Well, here's a funny and entertaining episode thanks to my friend, or brother from another mother as he calls us, Antonio. He knew of a hippie rave party festival further around the coast of La Gomera. So we had to check it out. It was well worth the trip just for the laughs because of

Hola Winded Voyagers and new crew members! Once again I get jolted in the acceleration zone, but first you'll get to see a little more of the people living in the caves. My new friend Antonio takes me around and we meet a courageous woman who takes me out to fetch limpets for lunch. And then I set o

Hola Winded Voyagers! Me and Galopin have found a little bit of paradise on the island of La Gomera. And in this little corner of the world I met some of the inhabitants of this rocky beach who mostly live in caves within the cliff sides. It's a look into living on the wild side with modern cave men

Hola Winded Voyagers. I leave Tenerife and sail to La Gomera island. On the way I anchor at a hippie beach, greet dolphins and pilot whales.

Hola Winded Voyagers! Finally I depart from Santa Cruz de Tenerife. But not alone. I got a full crew of six, all of them young and sexy. So it's a fun sail.

Hola Winded Voyagers! And a hearty welcome to the new members of the crew. Many thanks for your support, you really help make this happen. I'm very close to sailing south. I just have to do a couple of things before untying the lines. One being a camera that was offered to me for a test drive. I dro

Hello everyone! The title of this video is my favorite sailor's quote, because it couldn't be more true. You can make plans, but you must plan on changing them. Weather and boat problems are usually the main issues that can alter your plans. As it is for my friend Laura who's come to visit. She's su

Hola Winded Voyagers. The Carnaval saga continues. We weep for the sardine which will burn tonite. It's more Carnaval action, but since I don't do things half way, I go all the way and close out Carnaval. And I say goodbye to my boat hitchhiker friend who found herself a friend and a boat to sail to

Hola everyone, it's Carnaval! What an event the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife puts on. Crazy, wild and mucho mucho fun.

Yes it does snow in the Canaries. Usually way up on top of the 3'700m volcano summit. But this year was exceptional as the snow was abundant and at much lower altitudes due to the unusually cold and wet winter. And what a sight it was, and even better as I got to share it with my friend Saray, a nat
