Sono un po’ di giorni che guardiamo il meteo e lo lasciamo lì. Siamo stati fermi in una rada a nord di Guadalupa per far sfogare il mare: onde di tre metri e venti tesi sferzavano sopravento all’isola. Così abbiamo preferito lavorare tranquilli e prenderci il nostro tempo. Questa mattina ci svegliamo, aggiorniamo il meteo e vediamo una finestra. Ora o (quasi) mai più. Partiamo. Via la cima di prua dal gavitello e via. Il mare ci presenta onde al traverso, figlie della mareggiata dei giorni scorsi (da noi in Mediterraneo la definiamo onda morta, chissà se vale anche per l’oceano). Apriamo il Genoa e solo lui, visto che la situazione meteo non è stabile e gestirci in due l’ammainare una randa sotto groppo non è super gestibile. Julia Comunque si sgroppa di dosso le alghe formatesi in questi giorni e corre tra i 7 e gli 8 nodi verso Antigua. Corriamo sotto il sole, sperando che non se ne vada prima del nostro ormeggio. Anche fosse, poco importerebbe, ma la luce rende comunque tutto più semplice. A domani! Andrea
Dear Salty Sailor, While we love disconnecting from the world out at sea, having an internet connection can be quite useful. We've tried various options, including e-SIMs, local SIM cards, offshore satellite systems like Iridium GO, and Starlink. Each has its pros and cons, but our clear winner is Starlink. For a detailed review of Starlink, check out our website (link in bio). Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Fortun
The Windelo 50 has recently been upgraded with a fresher, sleeker look. 10 pics from @windelocatamaran ▫️ The first of the new catamarans, a 50 Yachting, splashed on July 24 2023 and will be making an appearance at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2023. Head to 'kats.co/nuwin' or our profile link for more info. ▫️ Katamarans.com will be joining the Windelo team on their delivery trip from the Windelo Base in Canet-en-Rousillion near Perpignan to the Côte d’Azur. We can’t wait to see the new design in action firsthand! If you have questions about this ECO catamaran before the sail, let us know in the comments 👇below and we will ask the Windelo team while they are watching the telltales! ▫️ The New Windelo 50 has had a substantial design upgrade with a team effort from her naval architects (Christophe Barreau and Frederic Newman), designer (Charlotte Schiffer), and the Windelo engineering office. ▫️ The new design includes upgrades to the decks, superstructure, the roof and a reworking of the layout. ▫️ So now the boat holds even more solar (up to 5,680W) while optimizing weight thanks to a simplified composite assembly manufacturing process. ▫️ The aft deck has been enlarged to provide a more comfortable living space, even better protected from the sun and weather. ▫️ The New Windelo 50 Yachting can now accommodate up to 5,680 W solar panels for even greater autonomy and zero emissions while motoring on her electric engines. ▫️ The Windelo team will be presenting the New Windelo 50 Yachting at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 12 to 17. We’ll be closely covering the show and the trip to Cannes on the Katamarans network, so stay tuned for more information. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #eco #sustainable #yacht #performance #design #baotshow #sailing
