A staysail is a type of sail that is typically smaller than the main sail on a boat, and is attached to a stay (a wire or rope) that connects to the mast of the vessel. It can be used in a variety of wind conditions, but is particularly useful in stronger winds, when the larger main sail may be difficult to handle. In our case we’re using it because our furler is broken and we can’t use the headsail. Staysails are often used for upwind sailing, and can help to balance the boat by reducing the amount of weather helm (the tendency of the boat to turn into the wind). They can also be used in conjunction with a larger headsail or spinnaker to help control the boat’s speed and direction in varying wind conditions. Staysails are commonly found on sailing yachts and other sailing vessels, and can be made from a variety of materials, including Dacron, Kevlar, and other synthetic fibers. #staysail #sailboat #sailinglife

Hi there, Thought I’d send you the video of the microburst over Banana Bay in Golfito on March 10. Fingers broke away. We abandoned our finger and used every line on the boat to tie to the pilings. That’s my Daughter greeting me at the boat, sure that we lost the boat. Poor girl. Just a few scratches and frayed nerves. 3 days later they almost had things put back together. Out at the anchorage one of the boats that didn’t drag anchor clocked 71 knots for a moment. HIGHEST WIND RECORDED AWARD ENTRY https://oceanposse.com

Welcome back to our motorcycle adventure through the breathtaking north! We're riding our BMW GSA 1250 through some of the most stunning landscapes in Sweden and Norway. In this episode, we start off in the spectacular island of Senja (close to Tromsø), riding along winding roads and stopping at iconic viewpoints like Bergsbotn and Husøy that take your breath away. From Senja, we take the ferry over to the world-famous Lofoten Islands, and yes – it’s just as magical as you’d imagine. We end the day in Bodø, strolling the harbor and remembering our visit here back in 2022. Whether you’re dreaming of your own ride up north or just want to experience the beauty of Scandinavia from your screen — this episode is for you. #MotorcycleAdventure #BMWGSA1250 #ArcticRide
