A couple pulled their children out of school to travel to Africa on a yacht - without any prior sailing experience.
Daniel Monk, 41, and his wife Bow, 36, and their children Amelia, 13, and Olivia, seven, sailed from Falmouth to Cape Verde in a 45-foot yacht they named Pancakes.
The dad-of-two had always dreamt of sailing the world after battling a 13 year drug and alcohol addiction and said it was "a dream come true" to do it with his family.
The family sailed from Madeira to Tenerife and down to Cape Verde - despite limited experience on a boat that size.
Daniel, the owner of Cask World, from Truro, Cornwall, said: "It was just always a dream to buy a boat and sail the world.

01:18I peed my pants.
01:20Ow.
01:23Oh my god.
01:26I don't know if this is the right way.
01:31Ow.

01:35I see fish. I do not like fish.
01:38I don't like fish.
01:43Ew, I could just stay in here.
01:45But the mommy and daddy wouldn't find me, so...
01:50I'll just go bathe in the little pool for now.
01:53Because I'm a bit scared.
01:57But I'll make sure to get some good...

02:51I don't know if you can hear me because of the waterfall.
02:53But I'm expecting that you can hear me, okay?
02:57I'm going to get ready.
02:59I think this is the spot.
03:01Wow.
03:03It's a heart, guys.
03:07Okay, I'm going to stop the video.
03:09And I'm going to carry on in a second.
