Watched the 2006 documentary Deep Water and made us appreciate Donal Crowhurst much more. Before I thought of him as the guy who cheated, went mad and commited suicide. It was good to hear the whole story and get to appreceate him as the sailing icon he truely is. Great post by sailingcalypso.com

Sailing Alone from Puerto Aventuras Bound to Cancun Mexico - Solo Sailing - EP09
Watch me sailing alone from Puerto Aventuras Bound to Cancun Mexico in this episode. I leave Puerto Aventura bound north for Cancun, an 80nm journey against a 1-2knots south flowing current of the Gulf Stream. The going was slow & the sailing was challenging. The plan was to stop in Puerto Morelos to wait out a storm. When the marina staff untied my lines because of some COVID restriction, I yelled and protested, but the wheel of bureaucracy won't be broken today. Hasty & disdained, I had to continue sailing ahead of a category 4 Hurricane affecting the Southwest of Guatemala & Belize, but we still got it wrong with 30nm knots winds & tons of rain.
Experience the thrilling adventure of solo sailing from Puerto Aventuras to Cancun amid a storm! Join me on this daring journey as I navigate challenging waters and face the elements head-on. Watch as I battle against a strong south-flowing current and brave the intense winds and rain of a category 4 Hurricane. From Puerto Aventuras to Cancun, this video captures the essence of solo sailing in adversity. Don't miss out on this epic tale of resilience and determination on the open sea. Tune in now and witness the ultimate test of courage and perseverance!

Slightly larger - still simple.
The joy of small boats, post 2 : simplicity. In my first post of this new thread I laid some of the groundwork for a series of posts by introducing the boat that I owned at the time that I drafted the original work in the form of a section of the book that I was trying to write. I felt that having thought about the subject a lot and done the work that I shouldn’t just consign it to the archive…

Why Can't I Say "No"?
My friends call me for help when they get stuck in Belize. "No" is not an option. So Seefalke and I set sail for an evacuation mission.
Why didn’t I just say “no”?, I keep asking myself. I am sick. I can’t see my own face but it bet it is as greenish brown as the Sargasso seaweed that is spread all over my deck. I feel terrible. Cold sweat is running down my face. I remember the fun fact that it has the same salinity as the ocean around me. I hold on to the massive sea fence of Seefalke and get in position to relief myself one…

just a fun (🫠) little detail I just latched onto is how this curly design chandelier thing is on a table beside Silver in this scene where he's talking to Max and learns about the Oglethorpe plantation thus planting a seed of an idea of how he might go about saving/betraying Flint (and Madi by extension)
Tumblr media
and then there's this similar fixture beside him (but elevated) in this scene where he's talking to Billy and increasingly having doubts
Tumblr media
and then there's this (a little less spirally maybe but similar and. pointing at Flint.) when things are really falling apart
Tumblr media
and THEN. there's this shirt of Madi's that she wears in the scenes where she has to process what he's done

Excitement mounts for Cole Brauer (USA) as she will be the second finisher of the 2023-24 Global Solo Challenge in A Coruna, Spain. The young talented American sailor is getting plenty of attention from US media as she’s poised to become the first American female to complete a solo nonstop circumnavigation by the three great capes and becoming the 18th women to ever achieve this goal.
With Forbes, People Magazine, the NY Times, NBC News, and many other media outlets warming up the crowds for her arrival, there are dozens of American citizens who took time off to make a trip to A Coruna and see her much awaited arrival. Her current expected time of arrival, depending on simulations, forecasts and performance, ranges from March 6th afternoon to March 7th midday.
The weather forecast suggests she should try to come in as early as possible due to a low pressure system that will be chasing her and, just as I would have expected, she seems to have put her foot on the gas which will mean she’ll be expected to arrive ahead of the developing depression. She will certainly do all she can to avoid arriving in boat breaking conditions which created the scenic setting for the arrival of the winner, Philippe Delamare on February 24.
Unfortunately, the Global Solo Challenge doesn’t just have moments of triumph and glee; it is a test of determination with huge emotional demands on skippers who must remain in control whether things go well or take a turn for the worse.

One of the things that will always warm my heart is the genuine emotion that occurs between a sailor and a ship. I love it when it is depicted in any form of media.
Things like:
- The song Eight Bells by the Jolly Rogers
- the Millennium Falcon and all her pilots and captains
- the Black Pearl and both Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain Barbossa. They always return to her in the series
- the crew of the Rocinante from the Expanse among others.
