Back in the 90s when they closed it going around the Point east...that was some great fiahing in the old channel.

Program name

"On an ocean passage, it is nearly impossible to overprepare." I just started a list of wise sailing quotes, and this is the first one. Thanks John.

Agree with the absence of a channel. Why do they keep wanting to make it go west? My long-term memory had it coming out and turning a bit east to run down the Oak Island/Long Beach shore before heading out to sea. The shrimp boats used it. The Blue Water Princess used it. Lots of boats used it. All the shoaling in the ICW ought to be telling them something. Maybe it guarantees their jobs. In the past I used it all the time. Now, I make the long run to Southport. It would be great to have a wave & current expert weigh in on this nonsense.

magnifique !! j'ai toujours adoré le saussois j'habite a coté mais je m'en lasse pas .

My grandparents came to America from Flores in the 19th century… from Fajanzinha and Fajangrande… a whaling captain and a old maid who finally got married! I still had cousins living there in the 1980s . Now, all gone, only distant, younger generations gone to Sao Miguel or Mainland. Love to know if anyone has information regarding them… Antoine da Rosa Rogers, Ana Cardoso. My father was their youngest son, Louis Rogers, born 1903. Me, I live in Hawaii and am at end of life.

There’s really no channel in it now

Great story! I would love to sail to the Azores and explore these islands. Thanks for posting.

We plan to be vagabonds for at least the next couple of years in the Caribbean. Hope we cross paths. Safe travels!

Just came across the two Bermuda 2001 cruise videos. Pam and I are preparing One Love for an early November crossing to Bermuda thense to the Caribbean. The old Town Creek Landings Marina is empty and sad.

Good stuff

thank you for posting your videos. Planning a trip to the Azores and this is so helpful

Thanks for sharing, its fun to see such a successful trek

Hello Sir, I am planning a non-stop North Atlantic passage from Gibraltar to Halifax. Would you advise this route from Madeira to Bermuda for the trans-Atlantic passage. Were there any major challenges when you crossed it?

Thank you for this video. My sweetheart is on this passage right now and your adventure is making me feel closer to him.

Hi, John Stevenson, greate work with Excel and Vba . the file of www.svsarah.com/Sailing/Excel/GPXConvertVBA1.7a.zip is corrupted, please re-upload.

In 2005 I made good use of the MARPA feature on my Raymarine radar display to track other vessels as we approached the coast of Portugal. We crossed the very busy shipping channel off the coast of Europe. MARPA has a very marginal target tracking capability compared with AIS, but back then it was the only option. Today, with an AIS receiver installed, I still make good use of the feature to track those vessel (e.g., fishing trawlers) that do not broadcast on AIS.

Too complicated. I will take a legal size pad and pen any day over all this.
