Our Bris 12.5 dinghy developed water leak. It would flood 3 in deep about 50 gal to bail out every use. Used dinghy davits to lift bow high so I could get on swim platform and patch.

This is Day 2 of spending a week with 91-year-old Chiharu in my little longevity laboratory here in Buren Bay, Japan. It's only the second time we've met. The first was a few months ago when I took her sailing aboard Wahine. Today, Wahine belongs to her son Mitsu, while I remain here continuing my research into longevity and the art of community. Today's highlights included: • Sunrise Radio Taiso • Breakfast together • Mitsu catching our supper • Haiku over lunch • Snorkeling in the bay • Supper together • A mountaintop sunset • Skateboarding • High fives What strikes me isn't just that Chiharu can still do these things at 91. It's that she wants to. She approaches each part of the day with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a readiness to join in. These are only small observations from everyday life, but they continue to shape the questions I'm asking about what it really means to age well. Tomorrow... Day 3.

SKIPPER LARGE POWER COURSE (4.9/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) : https://www.nauticed.org/powerboating-courses/view/skipper-large-power-boat When the wind is blowing you downwind to an end tie dock on your port side and when you have a standard right-hand-screw propeller or twin screws, you can use this very simple technique. Simply go past the slip and back the boat in taking advantage of propwalk (for single engines) to angle your stern in or use a small short amount of dock side engine in forward to angle your stern to the dock. Tie a stern dockline aft onto the dock. This and other powerboat docking and training is available in NauticEd's Skipper Large Powerboat Online Course at: https://www.nauticed.org/powerboating-courses/view/skipper-large-power-boat #boating #powerboating #education #howto #docking

After the Brest Atlantiques in 2019, a 17,000-mile race sailed double-handed + a mediaman, Ultim Sailing has proposed to the Ultim class a new crewed race (6 sailors per trimaran) over a distance of 3,500 miles to be raced on the North Atlantic, every 2 years, in even-numbered years. For 2024, the course has been modified to allow the Ultims to sail the Mediterranean basin, and to offer residents of the southern regions of France the chance to discover these fantastic machines. That’s how our publicity manager Maria Chanau set off aboard Sodebo 3 for a few hours, accompanied by her skipper Thomas Coville and the guest star of the day, six-time Olympic swimming medalist Florent Manaudou. There was little wind for this outing off Antibes, but Maria was still able to steer the mellowed-out rocketship: “This trimaran is really huge! It's amazing how easy the crew find it to maneuver: in 40 seconds, the mainsail is hoisted to the masthead! On the other hand, I don't know how 8 of them manage to live in there for 50 days. The living space is tiny, noise is omnipresent, and the galley is limited to a single gas burner...” Full report coming soon in Multihulls World! ► Become a FREE SUBSCRIBER to Multihulls World's YouTube page now - https://www.youtube.com/c/MultihullsWorld ► Log on to our website to discover over 500 multihulls tests!
