Quick test of a tiny QEV cannon firing air at 12atm, viewed through a Schlieren setup (no razor blade). Edited from to 1/4th normal speed. I didn't quite understood the need for a razor blade but without one I still see the flow of air. For me, the razor blade just makes the dot of light smaller(?) If anyone can clarify me what the razor blade really does and where it should be placed (in the source of light or in the camera) I'd really appreciate. Also important to note that this is AWESOME to look with the naked eye but almost the dimmest light can blind you. I covered a tiny LED torch with aluminum foil and punctured a hole with a sewing needle, on the side! so that the LED doesn't bright directly through the hole. Take care with the eyes!!

Yesterday’s sail started off rough – choppy waves and headwinds all the way to Bilbao. Luckily, we weren’t the only fools who thought it was a good day to go sailing 😅 With the mainsail up for balance and the engine doing most of the work, we powered through the swell. Eventually, things calmed down, and we found our groove again – talking, napping - some napping more than others 🤭 And then… we got a bite! 🎉 Our first fish! 🎉 It’s been a pricey one, though – Three lost lures and probably over 50 meters of line before we landed this beauty. Surely, they only get cheaper from here… right? We’re pretty sure it’s a type of mackerel, judging by the pattern – but what do you think? 🐟👇 Let us know in the comments! Music: Lisa Ono, Quien Sera

Sneak out of our base in Tortola and ride the easterly trade winds towards Virgin Gorda's immense natural rock pools. A sailor's paradise, the BVI is home to warm weather, ideal conditions and hundreds of hidden cays and spectacular dive sites. Navigate the cays, sounds and islands between Jost van Dyke and the incredible coral island, Anegada. Tuck into fresh seafood, and engage in relaxed island life at every stop. Enjoy line-of-sight, short hops all around the Sir Francis Drake Channel, or take on a longer passage. Sip rum punch as you watch the sunset, and explore Norman Island, the inspiration for Treasure Island.
