Sailing Nova Vita

We quit our jobs and decided to go cruising full-time and share our sailing adventures with you ⛵

Our sailing journey has taken us to ....................

France, Atlantic Spain, Mediterranean Spain, Portugal, Gibraltar, the Balearic Islands, Sardinia, Madeira, the Azores, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, plus the Faroe Islands, Shetland, Fair Isle, Orkney Islands, Outer Hebrides, Canary Islands, and Cape Verde Islands.

We have also sailed across the Atlantic in both ➡️directions ⬅️ and spent months exploring and sailing in the Caribbean 🌴on our 2002 Bavaria 36
We do the majority of the work on board ourselves and you can find videos about this on our channel.

After three months away we are back on board. It has been strange to spend so much time away. There's always a lot to do when you return to the boat. Plenty of cleaning, etc.
The boat was well looked-after during our absence and we returned to zero damage, despite some fierce conditions here in the Azores.
We are currently finalising plans for the next adventure.
Stay tuned!

Hello everyone. Tomorrow we are leaving St Martin in the Caribbean and heading for the Azores. We are really looking forward to another ocean passage. For those of you who wish to follow us in real-time here is a link:

Hello everyone.
Good news - we have finally got a new GoPro (thanks to some kind friends and their family who brought it out to us) so the video quality will improve again.
Our old GoPro was destroyed during our Atlantic crossing (series of videos starting 30th March) and we had to use our old phones for a while.
Thank you for continuing to watch our videos and for all your great comments. Thank you also to all of you who have subscribed - it really helps the channel grow.

Hi Everyone. Thank you for watching our videos and for liking, commenting and subscribing. Apologies for the delay in responding to comments. We have just sailed across the Atlantic and are in Martinique doing repairs (you'll see why in the Atlantic Crossing video)
We are looking for a new GoPro as ours was destroyed on the crossing (my fault) so we will be back to phone footage for a while.
We are heading north through the Caribbean and then to the USA, so many more videos to come.
All the best
