Our latest OH CRAP moment hit us when a violent squall appeared out of nowhere in the darkness smashing our boat from the complete opposite wind direction, tearing our mainsail free of the boom allowing it to flap crazily amongst the rigging in the middle of a busy shipping lane. In treacherous conditions on deck, it had to be secured fast before it tore itself to pieces.

Sono 198 giorni che abbiamo mollato gli ormeggi da un pontile conosciuto per immergerci h24 in mari inesplorati. Sempre nuovi, mai ribattuti. Non ancora, almeno. Abbiamo superato la metà di questo viaggio (oltre 7.000 miglia) e comunque solchiamo sempre acque sconosciute. Mi riferisco alla vita in barca ma anche alla vita in barca insieme ad Andrea. Vivere in un ambiente come questo ti costringe a lavorare profondamente su te stesso, e non mi riferisco agli spazi stretti. Sei obbligato, letteralmente, a lavorare sulla tolleranza, sull’ordine, sul dialogo. Sulla pazienza. Prima di tutto con te stesso, in secondo luogo con l’altra persona, perché non può esistere dialogo se noi per primi non siamo in grado di comunicare alle orecchie più testarde di tutte, le nostre. A rinfrescare questi pensieri vi è incorniciato un mare così azzurro che sembra di trovarsi in piscina. Due passi in spiaggia, poi pranzetto colorato (dove ci sono verdure colorate giungono vitamine e nutrienti diversi). A concludere la giornata un pontile deserto, che porta ancora le centinaia di impronte di altrettanti turisti, ormai andati. Di giorno la spiaggia è di tutti, di sera il tramonto appartiene a noi, solitari in questa baia selvaggia, pittori verbali di un viaggio sconfinato. Camilla

The figure 8 knot is one of if not the most used sailing stoppers knots. It is easy to tie, provides a decent sized stopper and is relatively easier to untie after load has been applied. For a more detailed tutorial follow the link below. https://youtu.be/jV99J9nmG1g When tying the figure 8 knot it is important pull it really tight, with stiff modern ropes the knot can have a tendency to untie itself if it is only loosely tightened. If you have mastered this knot and would like to learn more the following playlist has more knots for you to know and master. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMoCfFBA9IMUcOoZy5QT-o66DM8uHukkH If you want to know even more knots why not pick up a copy of the definitive book on knots. The Ashley Book of Knot has approximately 3900 different kinds, from simple hitches to “Marlinspike Seamanship.” Mr. Ashley has included almost everything there is to know about them. Precisely named and classified (some new ones for the first time officially), they can be easily found in the big index. He tells when they appeared, something about their history, and what they are good for. . https://amzn.to/3fkisle We hope you enjoyed todays video, thanks for stopping by and supporting Bottom up Boats, as an amazon associate we get commission from associated sales.
