Well, what an exciting day. We've managed to put to bed the Atlantic & are now just about in the Mediterranean. We had a few visitors on our way in through the Gibraltar Straits .. no dolphins I'm sorry to say. The video below shows one of them, but we need some help in identifying …
Unleashed, unsupervised & unwise?
We've had a lovely, lovely week in Rio Guadiana catching up with some friends from Lagos & meeting new ones. In fact we were fully supervised by sailing grown ups. Both the Portuguese & Spanish villages were really pretty & there's great walking around there with trails linking to the Camino Santiago Compostela. The 2 …
Who wore it better?
Fit to sail
We try and exercise regularly with anything from resistance bands workouts, yoga, going for a run, cycling and generally walking everywhere. One of the benefits of having a static base is that we've both been able to have a regular exercise routine. Trev's been hitting the local gym pretty hard & I've been mainly working …

When Trev got back from the gym he bounded down the stairs and with unbridled excitement, announced that 'there was something big going on in Lagos …
Dry January??
It's been a very dry, windy & (mainly) sunny January in Lagos so far. Which has been handy as the list of boat jobs is being slowly worked through. Though when one is crossed off, another seems to mysteriously get added to the bottom of it! Trev's been putting his practical and carpentry skills to …
Tea with the tooled-up lawyers
We met up with the very lovely Pat & Deb, who we met in France. There's a Captains blog about the impressive tool kit somewhere on here!
from launch to Lagos
Happy New Year everyone! 🥂🎇🎆 What year 2018 was for team Gianti ... leaving our home, job, cars. Having a huge learning curve for all things Boaty, videos, photography, weather and languages. Not to mention the fact that we've spent more time together as a couple than at any other point over the last 20 …
