What a testament to the auto-pilot. Handling 44,000 pounds of boat in those conditions, and seemly for long periods. Quite a piece of gear.

Great episode, I don't think you can beat Europe for culture or diversity, and Seville is wonderful. As to the weather you confronted, there's a lot of talk from some quarters about technology and / or speed being the solution to avoiding bad weather, yet here is a salutary lesson that on both counts this just isn't so. It is only likely we'll get more extreme weather events in the future too. Sorry if your discomfort is our entertainment, but I love seeing yachts in open ocean sailing conditions, particularly the rogue variety, it's instructive how different boats behave. Keep it up!!

Nicely prepped for and handled and amazing filming and editing. Good to see all 3 of you in one piece. Merry Christmas to you also.

P.S. We also hope you keep an extra Insta360 on hand, since ONE of you seems to like dunking it. You are just asking for Neptune to snatch it (He is a curious chap)! Peace

As usual, a well-balanced and interesting installment. You two make quite a team. Thanks also for the rigging update. You've got a beautiful boat, and we (SV Arcanum) hope you solve and fix those leaks. Moisture my not kill, but it certainly dampens the spirit. Cheers and tally Ho, Ho, Ho as Christmas approaches. Fair winds, Fair Isle!

And THAT’s why ornery old critters like Steve & me don’t like modern flat bottom boats for blue water sailing. When it all turns bad out of nowhere, like it will, it’s bad enough in a good seaworthy boat like Fair Isle, without it slamming as well, and worrying about hull flex, keel bolts and unsupported rudders.

By the way, that staysail looks like it sets really well furled albeit with the sheet a bit slack (30:15), which is unusual. You must be pleased with that.

Thanks for the video, I am pleased you guys finally got out the Med and are applying your videography skills to more interesting ocean passages.
I know you got delayed with unforeseen issues but your experience does highlight the accuracy of Jimmy Cornells advice. 'Leave for the Canaries after mid October and there is a much increased risk of storms on the way'!
Madeira is brilliant particularly if you like hiking (we stayed 2 weeks). Looking forward to the next episode. Greetings from SV Skyfall (now in NZ)

Wow, what an incredible episode! The storm footage was intense, but you handled it like a pro. Your positive attitude and perseverance are truly inspiring. And can we talk about the Vivaldi music? It added such a dramatic and epic touch to the whole adventure. Also, I couldn't help but chuckle at the not-so-successful fishing rod. Nevertheless, this video had everything - stunning shots, technical tidbits, and even glimpses of Seville's beauty. Your videography skills continue to amaze me, especially capturing such challenging lighting and weather conditions. I felt like I was right there with you, albeit from the comfort of my armchair. Merry Christmas to you and may all your voyaging plans be fulfilled. Thank you for sharing these incredible adventures with us landlubbers. You truly prove that YouTube can provide travel experiences that rival any TV show. And Fair Isle is such a fantastic boat, taking everything the Force 9 Gale threw at her. Keep up the amazing work!
