Cold Weather Sailing - We're Not in the Tropics Anymore! (MJ Sailing -Episode 93)

Getting into harsher conditions in the north isn't going to stop us from island hopping. We're still ready to make the 95 mile open water sail between Terceria and Sao Miguel. We'd been lucky to have many pleasure cruises between these islands in the summer and into fall, but now cold weather conditions are kicking it, and it's getting harder to find windows of calm seas and no winter storms. So when we find the first usable window to Sao Miguel, we take it. These colder temperatures have us completing a few other small projects, like finally inserting a plexi glass side into our door. Up until this point it had been a mesh screen, and things started getting a little too cold at night! But, since we came back to this island to explore...we rent a car for two more days to visit a few more places we had not seen, including the highly rated hike of Lagoa do Fogo.

Great stuff, guys! Just watching those choppy seas made me sick. Can't imagine how you both felt. But you always look so calm and collected. Question for you.... Has there ever been a time where you were scared? Perhaps due to sea conditions, personal safety, pirates (or other unsavory characters), etc. Would love to know the stories behind that. Thanks again for the great work!
matt johnson
matt johnson - 5 years ago
Tim, it was the cross sea that was the issue at that point. We could hold the primary set on the stern, but the secondary was almost as large and on the Starboard beam.


We would have set the drogue instead of dragging just fenders, but in my wisdom -before we left the Canary Islands, I took the drogue out and stored it in an easy to access location on the boat.... which I couldn't find when it was needed. It wasn't until we were safe in St. Martin that I found that I laid it under the mattress of the v-berth (for some reason). Lesson learned.

Could you use a sea anchor? I know nothing about sailing but I have seen these on power boats to keep them oriented to the seas when the engine quits.

MJ Sailing a lot of people have no idea how big a 15’ breaker is. I used to live in Daytona and there was a tsunami hit and it was only an 18’ inside breaker. Now I say only because of comparing it to what you went through. It didn’t do any real damage because it hit during the night but you guys crossing 15 footers I bet you were scared. Wow.....
MJ Sailing
MJ Sailing - 5 years ago
I had to cut this scene due to issues with the microphone, but after prepping that meal I talked a little bit about the seasickness medication we were both taking an hour before departure....which did help to keep our stomachs settled. There was one time we were scared during our 2015 Atlantic crossing from the Canary Islands to St. Martin. We had a sudden storm come up on us with 50 knot winds and 15 ft breaking seas. We had to drag lines and fenders to keep the boat on a straight course as it wanted to round into the wind in the trough of waves....a dangerous thing because then we could be rolled. To make matters worse we were on a collision course with a 600 ft cargo ship, who was having trouble keeping upright themselves. After some talk on the radio they were able to adjust course a few degrees to where we passed 1/2 mile from each other, but when they went by we could see the containers on deck sliding from one side to the other.

Guy's love the Video as always.

The Sailing reminds me of a summers day sailing the south west, West and North West Irish coast.
Nice Seas tad bit of rock an roll a bit of sun, wind and rain yes an Irish summers sailing.

I remember you saying in a previous episode that you maybe coming to Ireland if you do I would suggest getting a diesel air heater ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE6B7vRlS6E ) as you may not have shore power in enough place's for your electric one.

Keep up the Good Work
Michael Clarke

+matt johnson Good to hear, Hope you guy's enjoy Ireland when you get here...

As to the heating glad to hear you have it covered... I have a forced air heater on my own boat the German one not the Chinese... What can I say it was fitted when I bought the boat have since help an uncle fit the Chinese one on his boat and may actual prefer the controls on his one over my own. Plus the parts of mine cost nearly as much as his whole system cost...
I would advice you to have it fitted before setting sail to here, even an Irish summer can get a cold enough Night to need it sometimes hope you don't need it while you are here but have it installed just in case...
The normal time's I need it during the summer is when you've gone to the pub on a lovely sunny evenin and had Mother Nature Take a P*ss on you on the way back which normally means the wind picks up a small tad the evenin gets cool & You get soaked down to the unmentionables... So you get back to the boat needing a towel, heat and a warm cuppa. Or a tad wee bit of the strong stuff ;-)
matt johnson
matt johnson - 5 years ago
Michael, We should be Ireland bound in the next few months!


Regarding heating...we've got two. One diesel drip Sigmar and a cheap Chinese diesel forced air. Neither are totally installed due to us still being in a mild climate.

The drip takes a lot of space in the cabin, so only gets put up once it is needed (takes an hour to get in place). The forced air still needs some holes cut for the ducting and I haven't decided exactly what direction to take around the cabin.


But, finishing the install is on the top of the list of things to do when we get back to the boat in a few weeks.

Welcome to the Azores ! - We have seen a lot of beauty places all over the Azores Islands - but Your drone-videos made Sâo Miguel even more beautyfull.
My wife and myself come from Denmark, and live on the south coast just outside Ponta Delgada (near Populo beach), and just like You, we fell in love with the islands and settled here for good 10 years ago. Strange, but this little island have so much to offer and You will experience later too ! - We follow You - and Thank You.

With the many wonderful quality, genuinely heartfelt videos of the Azores you produce, perhaps it's time the Azorean authorities took notice and made you both honorary ambassadors for tourism with concomitant Visa extensions/residency for as long as you wanted? Does anyone know anyone senior enough in an appropriate Embassy who could kick-start start the process? Thank you for another superb guide to Azores delights.

Really good episode. Beautiful scenery.

Was that aqueduct part of an irrigation system? How old, etc?

I like the pot with the removable handle. I need at least one. You do know that you can make a tomato based pasta sauce with raw ingredients e.g. tomatoes, garlic (lots), capers, anchovies? Not a criticism, just a friendly hint (and a bit of a tease :-)). You should taste the pizzas I make using packaged pizza sauce from the supermarket. Some years ago, we had a young, American doctor doing an exchange year. He explained to his parents that Australian supermarkets "don't have food. They just have ingredients." Well ... that was too tempting :-)

I don't know about Hawaii, but one of the things the Azores have done is implement zoning laws preventing the building of structures after a certain altitude. It has done a great job keeping the mountains clear and the view beautiful.

Fleece pants and Merino Wool are the goto for most cold lat sailors. We have neither so far, but will be purchasing them asap. We'll miss the comfort of just sailing in swimsuits :0

I'm a dog person, so it was hard to convince me to a get a cat. But, they are so much easier to have aboard than a dog. From the litter box, their balance, and bringing them into a country, cats are much easier to have on a boat.

We LOVE São Miguel!!! If we could put down roots there for three to four months every year, we would be in heaven!!!

Absolutely correct - definitely better to be rescued & embarrassed, rather than death by exposure...nobody ever died of embarrassment...lol!  Great vlog guys!

Just stunning! Also I don't think I had seen the galley after your rebuild. Love the Shaker look. Your West Michigan roots are showing. ;-) The local Amish would be proud of your work. Thx and cheers!

+matt johnson The day all projects on board a boat are finished is the day you just sold it :-) Current boat have had it since 2006 and still working on it every time I think its just done I start doing something else onboard. I do most of the work like you fit it in between trips or during a quite anchor stop.

If we ever actually finish the interior, we'll have to do a walk through. Currently, half the white paint is still primer, and the plugs in the wood are only 1/3rd the way done.... we wanted to sail it a bit to make sure there were no noise from loose panels before we finished it off. It's now been tested and will be finished soon.

Next time you need to cut plexiglass, use a razor knife to score it, then all you have to do is support it on a strong edge and snap it with one blow. Cuts way cleaner than a jigsaw too.
Check it out here. Easy as it gets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsBrJRNvdyA

All the footage I'v seen of the Azores has just been amazing! I now see why it is a destination for so many sailors! Still a bit to far for me and my 30 footer!

How did you get the sound of the waterfall without sound of drone motors?

Your video production skills are phenomenal. I love how you incorporated the drone footage, and if I am not mistaken there was a shot taken by the drone following you as you walked a path. Great work. Thanks for taking us along.

Good morning you two.
Wonderful episode Jessca. As I was working a couple of hours before you posted. I was lamenting how crazy and busy everyone is and the need for a slower life style.
Then I watch you both and it’s like everything slows way down. Thank you for what you bring to all of us each week...
Good Health to you both...

What an absorbing set of islands they are to explore.So beautiful.They are very adept at building those irrigation and freshwater canals.Seen a lot of them on Madeira.
San Miguel is magical.Cant wait to visit.

Madeira has them too? We were there in 2014, I wish we'd gone to see them.

Great video as usual. Some of your footage would be sure of interest to the local tourism board...amazing shots. Did you guys managed to get to Ferraria (hot springs in the ocean)? If not, check it out, the experience is amazing.

Thanks for sharing team... love the v-blog, and Jessica, damn, the quality and work you put into this is awesome - I am envious at your skill and dedication to this effort. . Quick question - what kind of drone do you all use for the aerial shots?

OK, I give up. Drone shot of waterfall: how did you get the waterfall sound? Stripped in? Appreciate all the hard work in putting these out. Would love to hear some comments on how things SMELL from time to time.
