I thought an open cockpit might come into its own in the tropics, but NO, give me a wheelhouse any day!

High performance boats are the sleek sports cars of the boating world, offering high speeds and precise handling to boaters who prefer their thrills full throttle. Marrying big horsepower with sleek hulls results in boats that are equally at home slicing through ocean swells or tearing up inland lakes. Cranking offshore or simply relaxing in a cove, performance boats deliver lots of smiles per hour.

Experience a vibrant celebration of tradition and culture in the highlands of Alor. This dance is a glimpse into the living heritage found across the Lesser Sunda Islands, where ancient customs and modern life intertwine. The rings worn on the feet during traditional dances is made of metal or bronze and is known as a leg ring or anklet. It serves both a musical and symbolic purpose. 1. Rhythmic Sound These metal anklets create a percussive rhythm with each step, adding a rich layer of sound to the performance. They act as natural instruments, keeping time with the music and enhancing the intensity of the dance. 2. Cultural Meaning Wearing these rings is a symbol of connection to tradition and the land. The weight and sound reflect endurance, unity, and the importance of honoring ancestral heritage. 3. Ceremonial Use Typically worn during warrior or ceremonial dances, the rings are part of attire used to welcome guests, celebrate identity, or mark important events. They are both decorative and deeply meaningful. Curious to experience these traditions firsthand? Join one of our immersive journeys across the Lesser Sunda Islands and Alor, where cultural connection, natural beauty, and purposeful travel come together. #CulturalDance #TraditionalDance #FolkDance #WorldCulture #HeritageTravel #CulturalExperience #TravelEurope #TravelUSA #CulturalJourney #EthnicDance #SustainableTravel #ResponsibleTravel #AdventureTravel #CulturalHeritage #TravelWithPurpose #ExploreTheWorld #GlobalCulture #AuthenticTravel #SlowTravel #MeaningfulTravel

Solo trip to Dartmouth as a shakedown for Thalmia (the yacht) and Derek (the skipper) - mostly the latter who needed to remember how to manage a 32ft boat singlehanded. Moored to a visitors buoy at Dittisham. Mostly all good - few exceptions which I will cover in a subsequent video!
