You're not only watching Charlie Dalin win the Vendée Globe, but break the race record by NINE days. Charlie Dalin had been there but never done that. In the 2020-2021 edition of the Vendee Globe race, he had been first up this channel. But he officially finished second after Yannick Bestaven was awarded time credit for coming to another sailor’s aid and achieved a well-deserved victory. Today it is Charlie’s day. There is nothing anywhere in sailing like the day the first finisher crosses the line in Les Sables d’Olonne. Harken was there, At The Front…where we must be. There will be time for analysis of the race and full examination of the Harken equipment aboard each boat after a lap of the planet. But for today, it’s just Bravo Charlie!!! #vendéeglobe #AtTheFront

A "Behind the Scenes" look at our camp at Grassy Creek Vineyard in Yadkin Valley. We love the Yadkin Valley! The wine country of North Carolina...yes, they have a wine country. It's beautiful, laid back and so far the people are very friendly. As you can see from the video, we are parked at Grassy Creek Vineyards. They were nice enough to offer us a parking spot for a couple of days while we explore the area. Don't worry fellow RV travlers...we are getting the scoop on overnight stays for you too! Stay tuned! http://gonewiththewynns.com Music: "Something Elated" by Broke For Free (brokeforfree.com/)
