now all of suppose dodge around we're

gonna have round to my buyer today

the gearbox wouldn't work if we click

into gear what you think in this is the

ferry it's just gonna go in front of us

less than half a mile away he's going at

about 7 knots so he can do seven

nautical miles in one hour so half a

mile is not that much we just got into

if it would have been flat we'd have had

enough wind to sail with the light wind

because as well was so bad we knew we

didn't have enough diesel when we left

too much of it if it wasn't for the

tankers it wouldn't have been a problem

but because it was a bit scary we've got

one two three four five six seven eight

nine ten big cargo ships or tankers or

something out there none of them are

moving on the AIS but we are watching

them and they do appear to be moving

there's half six now so get an hour and

a half sleep tomorrow and then go to

Gibraltar stopped in here to refuel

when I was sleep and we're off again

you've had more than one hours sleep of

new pups I can't live with me like you

I know how to do it now I've been going

for it in my head

[Music]

now a deal's a deal we've got it on

recording you can't expect me if you

suddenly said can you do I don't know

can you paint a picture like an artist

that needs practice too windy too wet I

don't think I went was the best one I'd

lost my hat

[Music]

angry no that's the word that is the

worst it's okay I'll do it

I genuinely honestly I have been

practicing in my head I know that kind

of movement no regrets and in my head

[Music]

we're just entering the Straits of

Gibraltar and at the moment touchwood

it's very calm and very nice weather

this is Spain and over there is Morocco

the Pillars of Hercules it's also known

as I'll just show you the traffic that

we have

[Music]

but we're gonna tuck in on the inside

and we shouldn't have a problem these

are the shipping lanes here

and we're going to go up here should be

pretty stress-free fire Muraki Gibraltar

UK territory yes how are you finding

this Ryan challenging right these are

all the boats on the a is only within

three miles yeah they're all obstacles

you've got dodge around we're finally

here in Gibraltar it's taking on seven

hours today to get here which in they're

very good but we didn't have a little

wind

that's beautiful it's been quite tricky

coming through that you broke Australia

there's so many cargo ships of ferries

and cruise ships and every

we now in the bay of Gibraltar just

about to go into the marina we've got

about two hours sleep

so we're both pretty tired but we want

to go and explore we want to celebrate

that we got here and this is it the meg

starts now

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so we're leaving Dubrow today we're not

actually technically in Gibraltar we're

in Spain still but it's the marina right

by Gibraltar beautiful view of the rock

really nice marina but we're gonna head

round to my buyer today

we've come to the fuel pontoon in

Gibraltar it's 62 pence

talita so it's really really cheap we

are literally filling up every single

tank and bucket and everything that we

have we just need about 2 now we go and

pass her over the point we're heading to

my bay up but we may go on a bit further

out depending on how much speed we carry

throughout the day coming up to mob a.m.

now we've started the engine we've got

the engine on for a few hours now

because have been literally you know

we're

the anchor is set we're just gonna chill

tonight we're not going to go to land

because it's a little bit far so we're

gonna get a bit of an early night have

some food and then we're gonna set up at

about half 6 7 in the morning to try and

get a little bit further up the coast up

really early today the Sun is just

coming up over there not really a lot of

wind which is a bit rubbish but we've

got to get on we've got make a bit of

progress we are heading to like an

inland sea type thing in Spain Brian

keeps calling it Alcatraz but I know

it's not I hope it's not there anyway

[Music]

[Music]

just come around the southeasterly

tip-offs pain looks pretty cool dead

flat and you won't believe there's a

storm coming in like 27 hours to show

you oh and the reason i'm wearing this

silly hat is because face still hasn't

jumped off the boat to cut my hair off

the boat we're motoring because we've

had no wind now for 12 hours I think

like literally nothing and we need to

get to calm member the places and inland

sea we've gotta get there before this

storm hits like 37 knots predictable

we've got a hundred miles to do 24 hours

Spanish Navy I don't know what they're

up to but they've been changing their

course all around this don't know if

they're just checking us out or they're

doing some sort of drill yeah we've just

seen a submarine come up there I don't

know if you'll get to see it on the

camera but the Spanish Navy just this

coat come over the radio that they're

doing firing tonight so there must be

some sort of exercise going on but

that's pretty cool it's the submarine

look at what I've had to cope with

why this one over here came out of here

then this one here went in this one I

think wants to come in here

this is asked the dark this one's been

coming from behind us for a while now

about my own him he's alright though

[Music]

yeah and these look these are the main

like cargo-ship channels but on the head

I so hope you can see that this makes

sense so these are the channels

but there's also these lines and they

are then our shipping lanes as well but

they usually feel like fairies nice done

I'm currently trying to negotiate us to

go around this bit because it gets to

like there

Amir's which means that the waves

because there's such a jump the wave

will probably be quite bad I've just

come and watch face them basically all

the night sail

quite a bit about an hour before I come

on watch the wind died so engines

running again it's quite warm and humid

this morning so I think it's gonna be a

hot day I don't know if you can see that

the lighthouse in that town in the

distance but that is inside and inside a

barrier and it's the largest Inland Sea

in Europe I think and this is it here

the whole place is about five meters

deep and the sea temperature in summer

gets up to thirty degrees

I don't know what it is at the moment

but it's gonna be warmer than the

Atlantic or the Mediterranean we're

gonna go sit a storm out there Wow so

stormy 30 37 knots of wind for three

days so I don't mean I that's a storm

but yeah and then we picked my friend

Mick up and then we go to Ibiza phase in

bed she doesn't have much sleep last

night so I'm taking us in through the

channel and I'll wake her up just before

we anchor I found a place where there's

meant to be flamingos here so I'm gonna

go there I haven't told her yet I'm

gonna take her there hopefully they'll

be there and Surprise them and they're

open the bridge now we're inside here

for 10 minutes treading water in this

channel queuing up wait for base to

confuse that we can go through the under

the bridge and it's supposed to open

from 10 o'clock to 8 o'clock at night

every two hours 15 minutes

he closed after 5 minutes but he was 6

minutes before we could even get to the

bridge after we let the other ones come

through and then when I grade you didn't

before and he never answered and then

when i radioed him after he said are we

only stay open for a couple of minutes

just need to basically snowball way

another two hours

oh and the channel they say it stretched

to 4 meters we had 10.1 under the keel

100 mil under the keel then we've got a

kid of 2.2 so it's 2.3 in the channel to

go into this nice so don't believe for

the chart you read about the places so a

little bit nervous because we just tried

to come in and the gearbox wouldn't work

it wouldn't click into gear so now we're

a little bit panicked ah we're gonna

suddenly have no engine which would be

very bad a little bit stressed Ryan

light usual yeah

is it going good yeah

Papi's in a stroke now because she's

been told to go downstairs

is fact so she's listening to everything

that we say

you're supposed to be downstairs now
