Picking up our position

South of France  to  Central America

Redsky

“Somewhere out there, chasing red skies.”

  1. Gibraltar

    Through the Strait

    Timed the tide and slipped through with the current under us, the Rock on one side and Africa on the other. The Atlantic opens up ahead now.

    Last proper supermarket for a while. We bought far too much cheese.

  2. Off the Balearics

    A night with dolphins

    Flat calm after dark, so we motored. Around midnight a pod found the bow wave and stayed for an hour, trails of green light streaming off their backs.

    Nobody wanted to go below.

  3. Port-Vendres, France

    Casting off

    The lines are off and Redsky is finally pointed at open water. Months of provisioning, fixing, and second-guessing are behind us. The forecast is kind for the first few days down the Spanish coast.

    This little logbook is where I’ll drop the short updates that don’t fit a photo caption - the weather, the night watches, the small repairs. Photos and clips go up on Instagram. Our position is live on the map above.

    More soon, from somewhere south.

Support the voyage

Keep Redsky sailing

Charts, fuel, the next repair at anchor. If the journey brightens your day, you can buy the crew a coffee and help us reach the next horizon.

Buy me a coffee

Thank you. See you out there.
