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!

As every sailor knows, fresh water is worth its weight in gold, which is why someone had the bright idea of using an oncoming squall to take a quick shower. Pity poor old Dobby who was at the helm at the time. By the time he had covered himself in soap the rain had stopped! Keep an eye out for the skipper's skinny white ass.

Sveglia alle 7. In porto alle 8:30. Ormeggio con vento di prua, quindi facile e veloce. La giornata trascorre così, io e Andre al pc, i ragazzi a esplorare l’isola. Oggi è il loro ultimo giorno e vogliono vedere quante più palme possibili prima di tornare a casa. La vita in porto è sempre comoda, è una bella interruzione pubblicitaria dalla quotidianità galleggiante. Staremo in porto ancora domani, poi riprenderemo il largo verso nord. C’è qualcosa di particolare che vorreste vedere o sapere del nostro viaggio o dei luoghi che attraversiamo? Fateci sapere nei commenti ⤵️ Ci leggiamo lì! Cami
