A demonstration of just how effective a lapel microphone can be on a windy day. This one came with a foam cover rather than a traditional "fluffy" dead cat but we could not resist reviving the title of Simon Bond's 1980s book series "101 uses of a dead cat" ----- Sound effects ----- Drum roll and cymbals - Audio Productions https://www.youtube.com/user/JustAudio2008/about

There’s an undeniable, almost primal pull we feel toward the ocean. It's a need that's been studied and given a name: *Blue Mind,* a term coined by marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols to describe the meditative, calming state we enter when near water. The vastness of the sea provides a powerful escape from the clutter of daily life, offering a sense of perspective that can make our own problems feel smaller. Beyond the mental relief, there are tangible physical benefits. The rhythmic sound of waves and the fresh, salty air—which contains a higher concentration of **negative ions**—can lower stress hormones, improve mood by boosting serotonin levels, and even promote better sleep. This is why a simple walk on the beach or a few minutes spent watching the tide ebb and flow can feel so restorative. Our connection to the ocean is also deeply rooted in our need for activity and inspiration. It provides a natural playground for everything from swimming and sailing to quiet reflection and artistic expression. Ultimately, the ocean gives us a chance to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with a fundamental part of ourselves—a need for tranquility, wonder, and the powerful embrace of nature.

It is hard to think of a #yacht better known beyond the wider #yachting community than GIPSY MOTH IV, and that has continued to inspire generations of young #sailors more than fifty years after Sir Francis Chichester’s epic - then unimaginable - 1966-1967 single-handed, one-stop #voyage around the world with her. http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/596/GIPSY%20MOTH%20IV Rescued in 2004 from 37 years out of her element, and rebuilt and restored in 2005 by her original builders - among the last #wooden #boat works performed by Camper & Nicholsons - GIPSY MOTH IV has subsequently circumnavigated again. For the trust that has owned her since 2010 it is now time to pass on this iconic and beautiful #yacht to a similar body or individual to spread or be inspired by Chichester’s spirit of challenge and #adventure.
