Here comes the HIGHS and LOWS of boatlife! I mean the highs are great, let's go sailing, enjoy the sunshine, see some dolhpins you know... BUT today isn't about the highs! Today is about the frustrating moments, the moments when you want to set your boat on fire an be done with it! Looking back it's funny, how this tiny bit of wood rot turned into this huge are of deck that needed replacing, and months and months of work and trying to figure out how to go about it, Please don't forget, I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing here, so many times I have to do one job 2-3 times before its good enough (thats some of the very low lows.... very frustrating!) It is great to see the progress and I am sure for some part of it there are a million better ways to go about my boat repairs, but hey this is my afternoon hobby, i dont have all day every day I can't spend that much time on her and also this is happening on a budget. That's why it DIY :) and I learn, I prome I get better at this! IG: @yvonnemarianna.travels Patreon: SailingStormy

🇫🇷 Après le Vendée Globe 2024, les skippers reprennent la mer, mais cette fois-ci vers le nord ! En solitaire, sans escale et sans assistance, ils partiront des Sables d'Olonne pour franchir le cercle polaire arctique... à l'endroit de leur choix. C'est la grande nouveauté de cette édition : il n'y a pas d'itinéraire imposé. Ce parcours ouvert promet une variété de trajectoires, des stratégies multiples et un scénario haletant. La course au large se réinvente ! Les marins devront traverser des systèmes météorologiques complexes et instables. Dépressions, mer courte, brouillard, froid... Les conditions peuvent être difficiles et imprévisibles dans ces hautes latitudes auxquelles les marins ne sont pas habitués. Pour la première fois, les skippers du Vendée Globe atteindront le cercle polaire ! Course majeure du calendrier, la Vendée Arctique est la première grande étape de la préparation du prochain Vendée Globe, en 2028. Le village de la course, installé sur l'esplanade du Vendée Globe, sera ouvert au public du 30 mai au 7 juin. Dans une ambiance à la fois estivale et polaire, il proposera des animations, des rencontres avec les skippers et une découverte des coulisses. Au programme : courses de vitesse des IMOCA en baie des Sables d’Olonne, animations, rencontres avec les skippers et sensibilisation aux enjeux environnementaux, particulièrement de la région arctique. Ce territoire, emblématique mais vulnérable, est en première ligne face aux effets du dérèglement climatique. 🇬🇧 After the Vendée Globe 2024, the skippers are setting sail again, this time heading north! Single-handed, non-stop and without assistance, they will be leaving Les Sables d'Olonne to cross the Arctic Circle... at the location of their choice. This is the big change: there is no set route. This open route opens the way to a variety of trajectories and major strategic decisions. Offshore racing is getting reinvented! The sailors will have to cross complex and unstable weather systems. Lows, short seas, fog, cold... Conditions can be tough and unpredictable in these high latitudes, to which sailors are unaccustomed. For the first time, the Vendée Globe skippers will reach the Arctic Circle! The Vendée Arctique - Les Sables d'Olonne is a major sporting challenge. The race is the first major step in the preparation for the next Vendée Globe, in 2028. The race village, set up on the Vendée Globe esplanade, will be open to the public from 30 May to 7 June. In an atmosphere that is both summery and polar, it will offer entertainment, meetings with the skippers and a behind-the-scenes experience. Immersed in the world of the North Pole, the village will offer an exciting experience and a programme to raise awareness of environmental issues, particularly in the North Pole region. The Arctic is on the front line when it comes to global warming. The village will invite young and old alike to gain a better understanding of the changes underway in this threatened area, while promoting initiatives to protect the oceans. ------------------------ ➡️ SUIVEZ-NOUS ! // FOLLOW US ! 🔗 Website : www.vendeearctique.org 📸 Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/vendeearctique/ 🐦 Twitter FR : https://twitter.com/VendeeGlobe | Twitter ENG : https://twitter.com/VendeeGlobeENG 🕺 TikTok : https://www.tiktok.com/@vendee_globe 💻 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/groups/1250108526602847 💼 LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendée-globe/
