- ⛵️ The Dash to Dieppe
Hello sailors. Join us on an exhilarating journey from the fishing port of Boulogne-sur-Mer to pretty Dieppe. The seas are anything but calm as we face large waves and a near mishap with our solar panels almost taking flight!
🌊 Once we navigate through the challenging start, Dieppe welcomes us with open arms. We drop anchor and head straight to a local favorite, Le Turbot, a charming spot featured in Rick Stein's Hidden France. Despite the language barriers, we dive into a culinary delight: a sumptuous meal of fish soup, pate, and perfectly cooked pollock.
👍 Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more adventures with Sailing Hjem. We love sharing these experiences and hope you enjoy coming along for the ride!

Dish Delish. Vive la France.
@@marktaylor484 it’s definitely the place for a Bon appetite 😅
If it makes you feel better you made the right call. We carried on after leaving Calais and ended up on our side and Susan on her side with a ruptured Achilles tendon at 2am off Le Harve . We spent a day in Le Harve and eventually made it to Caen . Whilst in Le Harve we came across a former Ocean Going Yacht Charter skipper with his boat who also had made a run for Shelter . The waves simply had no consistent direction that week .
@@mashbury really sorry to hear about Susan and the troublesome passage! Fully agree on the sea state, even our shortish dash was very tiring. It must’ve been a lot to deal with at 2am! Massive props for getting through that. Hopefully Susan has a swift recovery ❤️
I found the biggest headache in sailing in France to be caused by Pelforth double malt brown ale 😂
@@Mr_G_in_Alba 😂😂 I’ll look out for some of this!
When you were leaving your mooring on Wednesday we were on our way to our secret island.. We are in awe of you both....Yewy must have the patience of a saint.. Another great vlog we are so enjoying them. You two must have strong tummies because I was feeling definitely icky after watching it🤮
By the way when is the recipe book to be published. Fair winds.
@@lizharrison535 thank you so much 🙏 we’re definitely getting our sea legs back! Northern France has been challenging, that’s for sure! Admiral Yewy has been an absolute 🌟she’s also getting her sea legs, so now she will bark at the sea if it tries to splash her 😂
Just sat down with a cuppa and a smoke, looking for something good to watch and hey presto heres your latest installment!
🍻To nomads everywhere 🥂
@@mattanderson9029 ahh thank you as always! I hope you had a great smoke with that cuppa ☕️
Hi Faye, Rob and Yewy🐾 Just asking because of the wind noise on the Mic! What was the meal in Dieppe caught Pollock between gusts and we saw a very small plate of ‘frites’ what else was there😜 RnJ Lottie🐾
@@Shuckford haha, it was indeed pollock with some cream sauce, purée vegetables and the camera must have lied as that plate of frites was huuuuge!! 🤣🤣 hope you are all well!!
How many miles off-shore are you? You're just following the coastline down, yes? The reason I ask, is that hopefully I will be heading down to the Med later in the year once the solar powered catamaran I'm completing is ready. My simple plan was just to follow the coastline all the way round.
@@fredflintstone1428 we’re mainly following the coastline south rather than crossing the Bay of Biscay. It really is doable as there are plenty of places to stop. We’ll go as far offshore as is needed, we aim to get back to shore of an evening. The west coast of France is a major sailing ground that the French frequent in great numbers, for good reason! Then the north coast of Spain also has a lot of options, some of which are off the beaten track and look beautiful. Portugal has been a maritime power for a very long time and the harbour infrastructure reflects it, so many options also. It just takes a lot longer than the more direct route, but you get the chance to have a truly memorable summer whilst taking your time.
In a catamaran you’ll be able to make many more miles per day that we can in our monohull, assuming she’s a decent size, so your passage options will be many and overall time required will be a lot less, if that’s what you want.
We’ll be blogging the whole trip so feel free to ask questions as we go and best of luck in getting your boat ready!
@@sailinghjem Thanks, I look forward to following your escapades.
You deserve way more than 1k subs!! Sadly missing the fish & chip updates, must be some somewhere, how are you both going to survive ;)
@@1962gms thank you so much! We are also missing the fish n chip updates, honestly! After a long, hard sail, being able to walk into a good chippie is divine intervention! I’ve seen one French fish n chips so far… wasn’t what we would identify with!
What’s the plan for getting Yewy back home?
Hi Adrian. Because of bureaucracy, dogs can't come into the UK by private vessel so if we did want to head back home she would have to go by car, train or ferry. However, at the moment, there is no plan for returning home.
We have just got pet passport sorted for our dog, now waiting for weather window to cross over channel. After some research it is possible to take a dog as foot passenger on Dieppe to Newhaven ferry for £30, so that’s one option when we are ready to return. Other is for family to give him a ride in car as they are touring France also. Bon voyage ⛵️
@@adrianpage3333 nice! How did you get the pet passport sorted?
Well done, not a nice passage. Could you not fit a boom preventer to stop accidental gibes? I have found them very useful lately. Well done on the thousand subscribers. Some of us are lucky if we get a 1k views over many years. But do the French do tinned fish and chips? The autohelms main purpose is to make tea get on with it lad 🤠. Keep up the good work. Enjoy
@@sailingsheriff3349 😅😅 thank you very much! We could fit the preventer but when we only had the Genoa out, we don’t need it. Given we are head to wind 98.94% of the time, we’re downwind newbies! So far far we’ve found that at deep downwind angles, the main shadows the genny, so we’ve just gone with the 135% genny and we’ve hit warp speed! Happy to hear any other advice though.
The French have some great tins, but you can’t tin fish n chips! The very thought of it!! 😫
@@sailinghjem Same here on my Catalina 34. 135% Genoa without main, on a deep broad reach. The main blankets the Genoa, and the Catalina is a masthead sloop not a fractional rig, so the jib/genoa can be a power house. A pole would help a lot with deep broad reach to maintain sail shape. I'd love to have a solent rig to go butterfly! Even if you had the main up, I avoid a dead run. Safer to be a few point off the wind so there is more pressure on the main to help prevent an accidental gybe.
@@peterbyrne652 thanks Peter! We do have a pole but confess we don’t know how to use it 🙃 we wanted learn how to use it before we set off around the UK, but we got 48 knots in the channel during our practice week 😆
@@sailinghjem Well in 48 knots the pole would only be useful to wave a white flag from! 😎
@@peterbyrne652 😂 we were ready to wave it in the first 10 mins!
wow that chop looked awful , french food is always nice , couldnt hear what it was for wind on the mic , look forward to the next
@@mutley192 sorry about the noise on the mic! Yep, it started off being a minging sea state but thankfully it improved a bit. Going into Dieppe was awful, but the camera doesn’t do it justice!
