Crossing a frozen pond in the backcountry can be dangerous—but with the right systems, the risks can be managed. In this clip from our Baker’s Brook Pond expedition in Newfoundland, Steve explains how we reduce the chances of breaking through thin ice: testing the ice every few feet, spreading weight on skis, spacing out with ropes, and preparing for what happens if someone does go through. Backcountry travel is all about turning a potentially deadly situation into an inconvenient one.

Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!

This time, we’ll be talking about the Lagoon 51 and its fantastic features without stepping into the interior spaces, like the salon and cabins. 🤌 First up is the easy-access transom, transforming the whole area into a real terrace on the sea. When people are on board, one of their favorite spots is as close to the ocean as possible, making this hydraulic platform the perfect place to relax by the water. 🧘‍♀️ Moving into the cockpit, we only have two steps, allowing for a seamless flow through this social and functional space. The cockpit is always the focal point of all activities on board, and beneath each seat, there’s plenty of storage space. Finally, we head up to the flybridge — the most exciting new feature on this boat! Lagoon designers focused on making this area even more social, adding a new dimension with additional spaces. If you're interested in learning more about this model, visit our website for additional details or reach out to us via email at office@masteryachting.com. #Lagoon #Lagoon51 #MasterYachting #YachtingWorld #MasterYachtingGroup #Catamaran
