This little guy was bobbing around our boat this morning for at least an hour - FAST ASLEEP!! I touched him a couple of times as he came right up against the sugar scoop and was amazed at just how hot his little flipper "solar panel" was! Seals float around like this with their flippers out of the water in the sunshine, as a way of warming up, so I thought that his flipper would obviously be warmer than our 13 degreeC water but was really surprised by just how hot it was. He was totally oblivious to my touching him over and over - super relaxed and fast asleep.

Check out our latest video for the full story! In this week's video we share how we danced a sailing tango with the Mistral and went back and forth to try to get somewhere, anywhere at all on our Outremer 52 sailing catamaran. We get rain and 42 knot winds and visit lovely Port Grimaud and Saint-Tropez. ⚓ Join us as we learn what it takes to circumnavigate successfully and make the transition to liveaboard cruising. 🆓Our sailing channel is currently AD-FREE but there are other ways you can support our Outremer 52 project. 👍🏻 Like, subscribe, share our YouTube videos or check out our blog, podcast or social pages below ⭐️Check out our new catamaran sailing blog! https://sailingawen.com 🎧COVERTCASTAWAY PODCAST anywhere you listen or stream directly at https://sailingawen.com/podcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/sailingawen/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/SailingAwen/ FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sailingawen/ 📧EMAIL US: sailingawen@gmail.com 🌎TRACK US at https://www.polarsteps.com/SailingAwen ⛵️AWEN will be featured at the MIAMI BOAT SHOW!

We are Holly and Stephane 🇺🇸🇫🇷 We have made the transition from full-time software professionals from the SF Bay Area to liveaboard sailing explorers who always keep one eye on the weather and our hearts in a song. Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We are working with Outremer in France (with the help of Google translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speedtest, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning living without Amazon, (but with Starlink), and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us, which is why we don’t monetize our channel.

Alexander Marine, as exclusive importers of Ocean Alexander Motor Yachts, are pleased to present the Ocean Alexander 30R to the Australian & New Zealand boating market. Please note: Alexander Marine is the official Ocean Alexander dealer for Australia and New Zealand. As such, we benefit from superior product knowledge and the ongoing resources of the Ocean Alexander factory and production staff. Buy your next Ocean Alexander vessel with utmost confidence via our office. The 30R is a 30m (98ft) masterpiece that will take your breath away. Its vertical bow, signature to the Revolution series, expands living space without compromising the performance and efficiency Ocean Alexander is known for. As you step into the main salon, the open concept layout emphasizes just how spacious the main salon is. But it’s the floor to ceiling windows that grabs your attention. These massive expanses of uninterrupted windows are made possible by expert engineering, giving you near 360° views. Coupled with a stunning ondeck master stateroom and four more spacious staterooms on the lower deck, this yacht rivals a peer group that measure well over this size category. The upper bridge deck is an owner favorite and the ultimate entertaining space! Customers can opt for the opulent enclosed Skylounge or the openness of the New Generation Pilothouse. Both configurations provide you with a bar, TV, grill, comfortable sun beds, and of course, an optional hot tub. You’ll also find the helm station fit with large touchscreen Garmin navigation and other top of the line equipment.
