After sailing 32,500 nautical miles around the world I want to give a shout out to my two loyal and exceptional crew members. They never talk back to me, require feeding or fall asleep on watch. In a perfect world they would make cups of tea and wash the dishes but I can't complain. The Aries windvane has kept Fathom on course in all sorts of conditions from 5knots of wind to 50knots of wind, flat seas to tumbling waves, upwind and downwind. I couldn't have got this far without it and have spent many hours watching it do its business without complaint using no electricity and only the power of the wind, a truly fantastic piece of engineering. Secondly the Aquair 100 tow gen. The generator is mounted on the pushpit and the forward motion of the boat spins a metal propeller at the end of 20m of rope. In winds over 15kts the drag created is unimportant and in tandem with the solar panel it keeps the batteries full and the fridge going 24/7. Cheers to both!

Witness a tense moment as a boat risks colliding with a pier. Mooring line slack + strong winds create a dangerous situation. Assessing the risk and potential impact. #Boating #Sailing #MarineSafety #Docking #Storm

When you sail into Rotterdam from the North Sea, starting at Hoek van Holland to the Veerhaven, it is about 2 hours of sailing in a busy area of Holland. On the Maas, there are a lot of boats (watertaxis, containerships, workboats, etc). Luckily you are supported by control posts that guide you into the right direction on the water.

Buy a boat, they say. It’ll be fun, they say! 😂 Owning a boat sometimes feels like throwing your money into a hole in the ground but I wouldn’t wanna change this lifestyle ever! It’s true, you spend a lot and marine items are just automatically triple the price just because they’re marked “marine supplies”. 🤪🙈💸 But on the other hand you save a lot of money for not having to pay rent or for a car or other “luxury” items! What do you think? Is my video accurate!? 😁⛵️💸 Cheers guys, Kristina
