We just sailed from Chile to Panama. 20 days at sea, no land in sight and these lessons are now burned into my salty brain: 🎧 No in-ear headphones at sea. They mess with your balance and make seasickness worse. Trust me. 🧘‍♀️ Patience is everything. You can’t rush nature. The wind comes when it comes. 💧 Hydration matters more than you think. Feeling off? Drink water first. 💡 Extra tip: Sleep when you can and respect your watch shifts. You never know when you’ll need that extra energy—especially when a squall hits at 2am. Tell us, what’s one lesson you’ve learned from offshore sailing or long passages? 🌊 Want to feel more confident offshore? Comment “offshore” and we’ll send you our Offshore Sailing Bundle. It’s packed with real-life lessons, provisioning guides, safety checklists, crew tips, and sail setups we actually use. Stay Salty!

The superyacht Draak underwent a major refit by Oceanco. With a new layout and completely updated systems and engineering, the yacht was essentially rebuilt from scratch. This is not just a refit, but a true rebirth. @oceancoyacht #oceanco #luxuryyacht #refit, #spinnakermagazine, #spinnakerbureau

La giornata inizia apparentemente come tutte le altre. Sveglia, breve workout, colazione, lavoro, poi usciamo a vela. In questi giorni siamo alla ricerca del giusto equilibrio tra vita a bordo, lavoro e visite delle isole dove ci troviamo. Uno dei migliori modi per dare una scossa a un momento di stallo è appunto, con un’interruzione. Un quadro che cade all’improvviso (chi ha colto la cit.?), una doccia fredda. A noi è arrivato un tonno! Per chi non lo sapesse, a me piace pescare unicamente nella dimensione in cui poi mi nutro di ciò che pesco. Non mi interessa spettacolarizzare la caccia, anzi lo trovo un po’ triste. Al contrario amo una vita sostenibile, equilibrata, in armonia con il mondo in cui viviamo e nutrirmi di ciò che offre la natura, libero, senza antibiotici, senza sofferenza, ma allo stesso tempo nutriente è una delle più nobili azioni che possiamo compiere. Da quando siamo qui non abbiamo più toccato carne per varie ragioni (salvo rare eccezioni) e poter mangiare del pesce pescato da noi rappresenta davvero una grande soddisfazione. Adesso passiamo ad argomenti più leggeri. Chi conosce una buona ricetta? 😄 Scrivetela nei commenti! Camilla
