Use this celestial clock to tell the time from the stars. Looking North, line up Polaris through the end of Ursa Major, and imagine a backwards 24 hour clock, then using the formula on screen, calculate your local time #sailing #celestial #clock #polaris #ursamajor #shorts

We had an interesting final sail on Peter's Firebird in the most wind I sailed in when in Barbados - we sailed with 2 reefs. Peter's friend Eric has a foiling waveboard and he wanted to foil behind the Firebird. In the end he managed it, but there was lots of falling in at the beginning. It was hard work for Peter and I as we had to start at near zero speed, so Eric could grab the tow rope, then slowly accelerate to about 7 knots so he could get ready for lift off. Then accelerate to 10 knots very quickly, so he could lift out. And then control the speed at 10-12 rather than surge up to 15-18. But of course the wind would drop, or he'd fall in or.... but, as I say, after 2 hours he did manage to fly for maybe 30 secs. Although, if we were quick enough, we could stop and heave to after he fell in, sometimes we sailed on too far and then we had to pull in the tow rope (we discovered it was too easy to get it entangled on rudders and daggerboards), tack round and sail back. As always it was scary how quickly a head disappears from view. But interestingly we could easily see him when he was in the sun, it was when he was north of us that he became invisible (one of his sons kept a very close eye on Dad, religiously pointing to his position). Flat water helped, and lots of passing day charter cats got a bit confused by seeing a swimmer apparently a mile out to sea but happily waving!

Ci eravamo stati a lungo all’andata, qui a Torrevieja. È perfino in un episodio su YouTube. Ancorare qui è stato come rincontrare un vecchio amico. Invece le nostre condizioni sono tutta un’altra cosa. Dopo una notte controvento, fatta di onde che rallentano la barca e raffiche impossibili da sfruttare a vela, il sole sorge e rende più facile tenere gli occhi aperti. Alle 10 iniziamo con le call, ma il mare contro ci rende la vita difficile. Originariamente l’idea era di non fermarci a Torrevieja e proseguire fino a Formentera,’anticipando il ventone di domenica. Ma poi pensiamo “Chi ce lo fa fare di stressarci inutilmente?”. Rapido check al meteo, poi tagliamo su Torrevieja. Ancoraggio facile, finiamo le call, ci alleniamo, finiamo di vedere un filmone (American History X) e poi dritti e letto. Domani vi racconteremo di due signori incontrati qui che avevamo visto (sempre qui) all’andata, parecchi mesi fa. A domani! Camilla
