Hydration is the part of seasickness people underestimate, and it's the part that actually kills. One captain ended up having to scuttle his boat after the Navy had to rescue his dehydrated daughter during a passage down the coast of Chile. 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com

Shown here is my custom designed 40-foot racer/cruiser Soulmates. To get your frozen blood flowing in the midst of the northern hemisphere winter, here are a few clips of Soulmates jib reaching at 10 knots during the 2019 186-mile Block Island Race. Thanks to Rodger Martin who designed the boat and to Eric Goetz who built the boat in 1992, we can sail off the wind at great speeds effortlessly. Her UK Sailmakers Titanium sails have four seasons of distance racing, windward leewards and weeknight races. In a few months these sails will begin their fifth season. I can’t wait.

*READ CAPTION* We were travelling through country SA when we drove past a dead kangaroo (not unusual for this part of the world), it looked like it had been hit fairly recently, given the bright red blood on the road, so we turned around and checked the pouch. To our surprise, there was a (what seemed to be) uninjured, but likely in shock, baby Joey in the pouch. This is the first Joey we’ve come across so we weren’t entirely sure what to do, we thought it was best to wrap him in a towel (to act like a warm pouch) and find someone to help care for him. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any phone reception to contact anyone, so we drove 45 minutes to a visitor centre in the nearest town. Thankfully the lovely ladies knew exactly who to call and within 30 minutes we had taken the baby Joey to his new home. The wildlife carer who took in this new orphan had 4 other babies that she was caring for, each one needing fed 4 times per day with special marsupial milk and each having their own home made pouch. Joeys can be the size of a mandarin or a small puppy so make sure to have a good look within the pouch. If the Joey is attached to the tit don’t pull it off as it can damage it’s jaw, instead remove the tit. Moral of the story is, if you see a dead kangaroo on the road please please (safely) stop and check the pouch as you might find a tiny orphan looking for its new home.

Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew Now we're on port tack, and we need to trim the headsail to make sure we're getting the best performance out of it. The lesson includes winching it in tight, ensuring the sheet lead car is set correctly towards the aft of the sheet lead track. This short clip was filmed during one of our RYA Competent Crew course lessons on the Solent. ** About the RYA Competent Crew course in Southampton ** The RYA Competent Crew course is the perfect introduction for beginners who want to get into sailing and is specifically designed for those with little to no sailing experience. It is the ideal starting point. Even if you’ve only had a brief taste of sailing, whether in the UK or abroad, the Competent Crew course offers structured learning and a strong foundation in the basics of sailing. We run our courses from Southampton, and they take place in and around the Solent. With First Class Sailing you’ll gain hands-on experience, experience life on board, and all the enjoyment it brings. By the end of the 5 day course, you’ll have the skills and confidence to be a capable and reliable crew member. The course begins and ends in Southampton, with stops at scenic destinations around the Solent, giving you the chance to experience different sailing conditions and enjoy stunning coastal views. For more information visit our website on the link below. ** Links ** First Class Sailing ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com We offer RYA courses, mile-building trips, and sailing holidays for beginners, seasoned sailors, and everyone in between from our base in Southampton. We also offer shore-based sailing courses in London and Southampton. Winter Sailing Holidays with First Class Sailing ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/blog/winter-sailing-holidays/ We offer sailing courses throughout the year, including in the colder months. It’s possible to choose a course that takes place over 5 days. Or perhaps you might opt for a 7 day mile building trip in the Channel? The point is, any one of our courses is a break from your daily life, so can be viewed as a winter sailing holiday. Competent Crew Course Notes ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/books/competent-crew-practical-course-notes This excellent little booklet is the official Competent Crew course note book and gives great advice on basic crewing techniques and seamanship. ** Credits ** Voice: Duncan Wells Filming: Nick Watts
