Steve and Alix started as amateur boat builders building their own 38' wooden boat in their backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and beyond—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project will continue well past launch, when they will travel and learn to cruise aboard the boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority Jamestown Distributors Referral: If you are going to shop at Jamestown Distributors, please consider using our Total Boat referral code: http://totalboat.refr.cc/steveandalixa?t=tg Recurring support via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella Original Soundtrack available at benfundis.bandcamp.com FOLLOW US: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acorntoarabella Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acorntoarabella/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/acorntoarabella Website: http://www.acorntoarabella.com

Can You See Dolphins While Sailing in Croatia? Croatia's stunning coastline and crystal-clear Adriatic Sea are a dream for sailors. But imagine the thrill of spotting playful dolphins alongside your boat! So, the question is: can you encounter these charismatic creatures while sailing in Croatia? The answer is yes, there is a chance! The Adriatic Sea is home to several dolphin species, including: Bottlenose dolphins: These acrobatic dolphins are the most common in the Adriatic and are known for their playful jumps and friendly curiosity. Common dolphins: Smaller and faster than bottlenose dolphins, these dolphins travel in large pods and are often seen leaping out of the water. Dwarfe sperm whales: Not technically dolphins, but still fascinating to see, these small whales can sometimes be spotted in deeper waters. While dolphin sightings aren't guaranteed on any sailing trip, there are some factors that can increase your chances: Time of year: Spring and summer (May to September) see more dolphin activity in the Adriatic. Location: Areas with abundant fish, like around islands and underwater reefs, attract dolphins. Tour options: Some sailing trips in Croatia offer specifically designed dolphin-watching excursions. These trips often take you to areas with higher dolphin concentrations and may even involve experienced guides who can help you spot them. Here are some additional tips for spotting dolphins while sailing in Croatia: Keep an eye out! As you sail, be vigilant and scan the horizon for signs of movement, splashes, or fins breaking the surface. Bring binoculars. This will allow you to get a better look if you spot something in the distance. Listen for blowholes. Dolphins exhale through a blowhole on their back, which creates a distinctive puff of air and mist. Be patient and respectful. Dolphins are wild animals, so if you do spot them, enjoy the experience from afar and avoid disturbing them. Even if you don't encounter dolphins, a sailing trip in Croatia promises stunning scenery, charming towns, and unforgettable memories. But with a little planning and some luck, you might just get that magical moment of seeing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. https://croatia-sailing-family-holidays.com/sailing-in-croatia/sailing-in-croatia-with-dolphins/
