After what feels like weeks of waiting, we are finally putting some miles under the keel again. We're on our way to Guna Yala (the San Blas islands), sailing upwind along the North coast of Panama. We haven't done a great deal of upwind sailing on this voyage so far, but that's about to change - Antigua is 1000 miles directly upwind, and the Caribbean trade winds are strong, squally, and often bring big seas. Today is good practice for us, beating into a relatively comfortable 15 - 18 knots with moderate seas, 2 reefs in, 5 - 6 kn boat speed, and ironing out all sorts of little issues that come up.

Durch die Yardstick Einteilung hatten wir bei achterlichem Wind mit nur wenig Abdeckung von hinten zu rechnen und konnten so mit der J-97 Monk die Wellen nach Kühlungsborn herunter surfen. Ich sach ma teilweise zweistellig auf dem Tacho. Hat Spaß gemacht.

In this episode we work our way to Martinique and run into some pretty rough weather and sailing conditions. I enjoy a hidden spa in the back of our engine room, and we struggle with an anchor situation that was a bad omen for the start of the trip. ============== 🔔Subscribe now and join us on a life-changing adventure.

Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We worked with Outremer in France (with the help of Google Translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speed test, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us.

Holly and Stephane are formerly from the San Francisco Bay Area but have a home in Tahoe. Our 'someday' plan was to sell our belongings, buy a boat, and, with reckless abandon, sail away to visit distant lands, which we did starting in 2020. You can follow our transition and journey in our candid podcast, Covert Castaway, wherever you listen. You can also follow every stop we’ve made with pictures and blogs and stream our podcast directly on our website. ================================= #sailing #martinique #catamaranlife #oceanadventure #outremer #sailing #catamaran #outremer #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #stayhealthy #learning #vlog #podcast #live #motivation #travel #nomad #boattour #sailingadventure #bucketlist #adventure #nomad #retirement #adventureawaits #ocean #learning #youtubecommunity #youtubelife #vlog #youtubechannel #performance #weather #SwN&x% #guadeloupe #scubadiving #rainforest © Sailing AWEN

Ordinaria amministrazione a bordo di Julia Il tempo si sta dilatando. O meglio, la percezione che ne abbiamo. Ci sono momenti che corrono velocissimi, altri che non passano più. In generale ripensare a ieri ci mette in difficoltà “ma cosa abbiamo fatto ieri? Cos’è successo?” Ed è qui che vengono in aiuto i reel del giorno😄 Ognuno a bordo bene o male sta tenendo il suo diario personale sul viaggio e non mancano momenti di scambio, di riflessioni e di punti sulla situazione. Facendo un punto tecnico: navighiamo a 8,5 nodi al traverso. 14 nodi di vento. Rotta 050. Stiamo facendo prua poco più a nord delle Azzorre. Dobbiamo seguire il flusso anticiclonico che ci accompagna per mano alle Azzorre. A bordo tutto continua normale, una vita che non fa mancare i suoi ritmi e le sue necessità: si mangia, si dorme, ci si lava, si lavano i piatti. Tutto da programma, ciò che differisce sono solo i modi. Per il resto si fa tutto quel che si deve. Corriamo veloci, stiamo entrando nelle battute finali di questo viaggio che porteremo sempre tutti nel cuore. Un arrivo adrenalinico che richiederà strategia meteo e arguzia per scegliere la finestra di arrivo giusta, il percorso giusto e la rotta migliore per non rimanere nè senza vento nè prenderne troppo. Solitamente si augura buon vento, qui il buon vento dobbiamo andare a prendercelo noi. A.
