Sailing from Ibiza to Alicante - Storms, Gennakers, and Autopilot problems! Life as a Sailing Couple

Join us as we set sail from Ibiza to Alicante on our little floating home! What started as a calm passage across the Balearic Sea quickly turned into a bit more of an adventure — strong winds, unexpected storms, gennaker challenges, and even an autopilot malfunction tested both our skills and patience. From dodging squalls to troubleshooting on the fly, this passage really shows what life as a sailing couple is all about — teamwork, resilience, and those incredible moments when it all pays off. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to sail offshore as a couple or dream of living aboard your own boat, this episode has it all — from stunning Mediterranean sunsets to the chaos of handling gear in unpredictable weather. 00:00 – Storm in Ibiza 02:03 – Leaving the anchorage & setting sail 04:10 – Trying to pole out the Genoa 05:13 – Autopilot breaks 09:10 – Pit stop anchorage in Moraira 12:37 – Setting the cruising chute 13:30 – Sailing past Benidorm 14:00 – Loving life! 15:00 – Arrival to Alicante #SailingCouple #BoatLife #SailingIbizaToAlicante #SailingVlog #MediterraneanSailing #LiveaboardLife #SailingAdventure #CruisingCouple #SailingCommunity #StormAtSea
