Today’s post is a video log. Enjoy.
PS. In the video I reference then current wind conditions as north at 10. By way of update, the Southern Ocean is now producing north winds at 25. Were on a close reach with two reefs in everything and headed SSE.
Thanks for the video log. The pictures along with your narration speaks volumes.ššš„
I’ve been following you on the web and on my globe. It has been quite thrilling .
I read about your voyage in the January “Waterlines” article and have followed you everyday since .Your description of the knockdown in the pacific was one deserving of a movie . I felt adrenalin as if I were there.
Although I am but a novice ,I have a passion for sailing the ocean and I relate to your sense of adventure.
GODSPEED
