Crossing a frozen pond in the backcountry can be dangerous — but with the right systems, the risk can be managed. In this clip from our Baker’s Brook expedition in Newfoundland, Steve explains how we assess changing conditions while skiing across the ice — checking thickness every few feet and using techniques that reduce both the chances of breaking through and the consequences if it happens.

You might be wondering: why mention the airport? What’s so special about it? Well, here’s why. Skiathos, a Greec island at the Sporades islands in the North-West of the Aegan sea, is a relatively small island, yet it has an international airport. And that is exactly what makes it so spectacular. The runway is short and squeezed in between the sea and the built-up area. As a result, aircraft have to approach extremely low. From the water – especially when you’re in the harbour – you see the plane coming straight at you. It flies low over the harbour, sometimes so low that you think it might clip your mast, and then immediately hits the brakes as soon as it touches down on the runway. The first time we experienced this, it really startled us. You hear the sound, look up… and suddenly there’s an aircraft right above you. You rarely see planes flying this low. First there’s a moment of shock, then laughter, and after that you find yourself watching every single landing again 😉. For plane spotters, Skiathos has by now become world-famous. People stand along the road or on the beach to take photos and videos of the landings. We made a video too.

The sailing trip to Sardinia begins with eight hours of motoring due to calm winds. A southerly wind from Tunisia is expected to kick in, pushing the boat north. The plan is to motor closer to Sardinia before heading to the destination, about 190 miles away. #sailing #Sardinia #wind #Tunisia #boating #travel
