From French Coastlines to Fixing Failures.. S2E13

We’re in the south of France for this episode of The Campbell Gamble Sailing 🇫🇷

After crossing from Corsica, we spend some time with family around Marseille, squeeze in a coastal hike, and unexpectedly find ourselves staring at one of the biggest warships in the world while wandering the harbour.

Back on board, reality kicks back in. A couple of electrical gremlins show up: one with the generator, one with the solar, but thankfully both turn out to be simpler fixes than expected. We also check out a traditional naval jousting event… which might not quite live up to the hype, but gives us a good laugh anyway.

And just to keep things interesting, our GoPro decides it’s had it up to here and won’t start no more.

This is a pretty cool episode that we loved putting together: part travel, part boat life, part problem-solving; exactly how life aboard Ronnie actually contains.

If you enjoy real sailing life, simple fixes, and the unpolished moments in between, you’re in the right place.
