Welcome to Navel Gazing at Camp David Shorts. In this fascinating short, we delve into the intricate physics that allows sailboats to seemingly defy the wind by sailing upwind. How is this possible? It's all about understanding the fundamental principles that govern sailing dynamics. From the Bernoulli principle to the concept of apparent wind, we'll break down these complex ideas into easy-to-grasp concepts. Whether you're a sailing aficionado or a curious mind, this short will give you a glimpse into the art and science of sailing. For those of you looking to expand your knowledge, consider reading 'Sailing for Dummies' by J.J. Isler and Peter Isler, Wiley, published in 2017, which provides a beginner-friendly guide to all things sailing. Alternatively, 'The Physics of Sailing Explained' by Bryon D. Anderson, released by Sheridan House in 2023, offers a deeper dive into the scientific aspects that make sailing possible.

Hi!👋🏻 We're Ed & Paige. We met in 2011, and in 2014 Ed completed an 18 month circumnavigation with his father (I got to tag along for most of the Pacific🙌🏻). Following his return we knew we would do whatever it took to get back on the water, this time in our own boat, together. After nearly 5 years of planning, saving, and questioning our sanity, we quit our jobs in 2019 and sold most of our non-essential/non-heartfelt belongings. We've decided to spend the next few years dedicating ourselves to travel and adventure while living aboard our 37 foot home, Sea Pearl. If you'd like to join us while we work to get our new home offshore ready and to see what we get up to on our future sailing adventures - like, subscribe, and follow along. We'd love to have you! - Cheers!🍻 Paige & Ed Follow along on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/sailing.seapearl __________________________________________________________ #sailboat #sailing #sailboatrefit #liveaboards #buyaboat #oceantravel #sailingcouple #diy #boatprojects #fulltimetravel
