Leaving Nuku Hiva behind, dolphins escorting us out. We sailed past big squalls, thankfully with no one getting hurt or sick. The passage was smooth, blessed by a beautiful sunrise. Destination: the serene, clear blue waters of the Tuamotus. #Tuamotus #SailingLife #OceanAdventure #IslandHopping #SouthPacific #Sailing #Adventure #Travel Check out our latest video here: https://youtu.be/6i5VvRy799U In this episode of Sailing AWEN, we leave Marquesas and sail to the Tuamotus Archipelago. We make an adventure out of rainy days, learn how to float our chain, enjoy learning about bommies, and discover the most healthy, big and beautiful coral reef we have ever seen! While sailing full-time and living aboard our catamaran, we continue to learn what AWEN and her sails like and the pacific passage offers many opportunities improve. We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life.
On 5th March 1936, Captain Joseph 'Mutt' Summers piloted the first Supermarine Spitfire prototype, K5054, from Eastleigh Aerodrome. To mark last week's 90th Anniversary of this event we took to the skies with Spitfire K5054. We were then joined by another Spitfire painted in 16 Squadron markings which acted as a backup. It was an honour to share the skies with these aviation legends to mark this special anniversary. Here are some screenshots from the flight.
The opportunity to own a William #fife design of this rare size – an incredibly beautiful #classic #cruiser-racer, practical in almost every modern sense – is a rare thing indeed. ELLAD offers that chance, and she is very ready, having been refitted 2022-2023 for short-handed, long distance cruising while still feeling just out of her major, award-winning 2011-12 restoration by some of Brittany’s finest craftsmen. William Fife Jr/ III was in his early 80s when he speculatively drew No. 830 which was to become his last design – employing the fine, unique, drawn-out canoe stern lines of the famous 70 ft yawl LATIFA in compressed form. Such a stern really lends itself to the yawl rig ELLAD was originally built with. Highly recommended. More at: https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/707/ELLAD
