How did it all start?
For some reason God created them and they came together. This is a Spanish saying, which refers to the union between people who have common tastes, ambitions and objectives.
This adventure began with 5 strangers who were looking for the same type of experience to escape and enjoy nature again after quarantine.
Ecc Yacht Charter, a pioneer boat rental company in the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, offers charters every year to transport its boats to the Mediterranean and in April 2020 Ecc Yacht Charter proposed to Augusto (skipper) to transport a boat from the Canary Islands to the Balearic Islands, he immediately began looking for a crew.
Andrés Borges, one of the best filmmakers in the archipelago, in love with the sea and everything it offers, joined the first. Augusto told him about this plan on social networks, more excited than ever with this idea, just 3 days before the departure he packed his backpack and confirmed attendance.
On the last day, already preparing the boat to leave Tenerife, one of the crew did not appear, this is the moment when we found Captain Wilson in the marina looking for some work, we talked for a while, he seemed like such a nice person. Suddenly we told him our situation and after laughing a lot he proposed to accompany us on the trip.
Reasons for our adventure
After several sailing voyages, we decided to create a YouTube channel not only to tell people what we are doing, but to show society that sailing is no longer that world made for tough, dangerous and unpredictable people. We wanted to show that sailing is a way to be more in touch with nature, it takes you out of noisy, busy and annoying days, it is a way to disconnect from real life and enter a quiet place surrounded by interesting people who are looking for the same sensation.
In this latest episode, we also wanted to show some of the most beautiful islands in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, sailing on Ihlas Selvagens and Madeira was an incredible experience. This was our first objective, to know new places having the opportunity to show and talk about these islands. With all these restrictions traveling seems to be very difficult or at least annoying, so why not show not only our experience on board, but also the places we visited.
