What truly makes someone a competent sailor? It’s not just about passing a test or reading a manual. True competence is built on a foundation of three critical pillars: Knowledge, Skills, and Experience. While knowledge gives you the theory, and skills give you the capability, experience is what prepares you for the unexpected. #sailing #sailboat #sailor

🇬🇧 What a day of contrasts! From drifting in circles this morning to full speed under spinnaker this evening. 🏁 Disappointing to have lost miles to the competition but nice to be back in the chase! Good things come to those who wait…. Except haircuts. I really need a haircut! 👩 🇫🇷 Quelle journée remplie de contrastes ! De la navigation en rond ce matin à la vitesse maximale sous spi ce soir. 🏁 Déçu d'avoir perdu des milles au profit de la concurrence mais agréable de se remettre dans la course ! Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre.... Sauf les coupes de cheveux. J'ai vraiment besoin d'une coupe de cheveux ! 👩

Gardening in these remote islands is more then just a hobbie but an essential practice vital for survival. Walking barefoot through rough terrain to find the areas with the most suitable soil, sections of forest are burnt and cleared with basic hand tools such as machete and axe. The trees are then removed or used for stabilising the soil. This is when the women of the village come together to dig and plant the seeds of various staples. Today Poppy learns the way of planting a variety of yams that will later be remembered as 'Poppy's yams', signifying not only the day that a yachtie came to learn, but also get her hands dirty and help the local community. This act of unity is why these villagers have been able to thrive off growing their own food for so many generations.
