Disaster in the Bay of Biscay - Our First Ever Passage Goes Wrong | S1 - EP3

Our First Passage Ends in Disaster – France to Gibraltar Gone Wrong ⛵ After months of anticipation, our dream was finally becoming reality: we set sail from the west coast of France on a 10-day passage to Gibraltar, ready to begin our new life sailing the Med on our liveaboard catamaran. Our Skipper and First Mate joined us, the boat was prepped, and we were ready to take on the Bay of Biscay and Orca Alley — but what followed was far from what we expected. From brutal weather delays to painfully slow progress, seasickness, and unexpected setbacks, this journey pushed us harder than anything we’ve faced so far. And just as we thought we were finding our rhythm… disaster struck. This episode follows us as we cross the Bay of Biscay and looks at the reality of sailing long passages — the highs, the lows, and the moments that test how much you really want the dream. We’d love for you to support us on our journey, so please like and subscribe to the channel, it really does mean the world to us 💙 Episode 3, Chapter One. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼 After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure.
