Short playing the ukelele and singing C'est mon bateau #shorts

I love to sing and playing the ukelele at sea. This song is from the Belgium singer Jo Lemaire and reflects my adventure at sea. This poignant melody captures the essence of a solo sailing journey, telling the story of a woman's voyage around the world. Through its heartfelt lyrics and gentle rhythm, the song reflects the challenges and triumphs of navigating the seas alone, resonating deeply with my own experiences on the water.

Discovering Sicily: A Land of History, Flavor, and Beauty Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is a jewel waiting to be explored. With its stunning coastline, ancient ruins, and rich cultural tapestry, this Italian island offers something for every traveler. From the Greek temples of Agrigento to the Baroque streets of Noto, Sicily tells the story of civilizations that have come and gone, leaving behind architectural wonders and timeless charm. Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano, looms over the island, offering adventurous hikes and breathtaking views. The cuisine of Sicily is just as unforgettable. Fresh seafood, savory arancini (stuffed rice balls), and sweet cannoli showcase the island’s culinary excellence. Don’t forget to sip on a glass of Marsala wine as you enjoy the sunset over the sea. Whether you’re wandering through Palermo’s bustling markets, soaking up the sun in Cefalù, or exploring the hidden corners of Syracuse, Sicily promises an experience like no other. It’s a place where history, nature, and flavor come together in perfect harmony—an island you’ll long to return to.

We go open ocean fishing on the Skeeter ZX22V. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/06/skeeter-zx22v-bay-boat-blitzkrieg-2/ For more boat videos, visit www.boats.com. Off to port Catalina Island was a mere smudge on the horizon, on our starboard side the California coast slid by in a blur, and dead ahead calico bass were waiting to be caught. They wouldn't have long to wait, because the Skeeter ZX22V being captained by Ben Florentino of Coastal Charters boasted 225 Yamaha horses on the transom, and was hauling its load of anxious anglers to the fishing grounds at over 30-mph. If you think that doesn't sound very fast for this rig, you're right—cruising speed is closer to 40-mph and top-end breaks 50. But remember, we were in the open Pacific. In fact, it's a testament to the way this boat is designed and built that we could even think about making our 12 mile run to Florentino's favorite kelp beds with just 22 feet of LOA. Blasting through widely-spaced three foot waves the Skeeter felt rock-solid, thanks to construction touches like a single-piece deck constructed of sandwiched layers of PVC cross-linked foam and fiberglass. Aircraft-grade aluminum ties the stringers and transom together, distributing stress throughout the structure. Hatches—many with full-length piano hinges—are injection-molded to maximize strength while minimizing weight. Aluminum backing plates are laminated into the deck where the console's attached. Build a boat with these techniques on a 20-degree deadrise hull, add in a pair of concave reverse chines, then give it strakes plus a transom set-back, and you get a boat that feels like granite underfoot yet has the grace of a gray-hounding wahoo. As we ate through the Pacific there were no rattles, vibrations, or slams to speak of. You can see what I mean in this video, which was all shot in the open ocean.
