This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm! We made our way to Marsh Harbour early this morning to hopefully find a good anchorage in anticipation of the weekend's big blow. Forecasted to be in upwards of 60kn, it's at least 20kn more than we've experienced. That's a LOT OF WIND! Suffice it to say, Marsh Harbour wasn't vacant. We were able to find, what we hope to be, a nice hole between some sailboats. To our aft are the folks from Sailing Zephyr...very cool. Anyways, we're confident in our ground tackle but you always have to worry about other boats dragging. Our anchor is a Spade 160 and is oversized for our boat...that said, if there's an abrupt wind shift of 180º, all anchors will have to reset themselves. This is definitely the Calm Before the Storm


Louison vous fait découvrir son métier de chaudronnier et ce qui l'anime au quotidien à travers son témoignage. Il est toujours assez étonnant de voir d’où commence la naissance des OVNI et des Cigale… L’arrivée des plaques d’aluminium prédécoupées sur palette… De cette forme initiale, plane, les hommes lui apportent rondeurs et formes autour du mannequin. Le savoir-faire de nos compagnons, comme Louison, réside dans l’assemblage par soudure-pointée. Ces feuilles d’aluminium de 4 à 10 mm d’épaisseur sont rapprochées et soudées entre elles pour devenir une coque, un pont et enfin un voilier d’une robustesse incroyable. Il faut compter 10 semaines en moyenne en chaudronnerie avant que cette unité en aluminium rejoigne l’étape de la peinture. ENGLISH PRESENTATION Louison makes you discover his job as a metalworker and what drives him on a daily basis through his testimonial. It is always quite impressing to see where the birth of the OVNI and the Cigale yachts begins ... The arrival of pre-cut aluminum plates on a pallet ... From this initial, flat shape, men bring curves and shapes around the mannequin. The know-how of our companions, like Louison, is in the assembly by point welded. These 4 to 10 mm thick aluminum plates are gathered and welded together to become a hull, a deck and finally a very sturdy sailboat. It takes an average of 10 weeks in metalwork before this aluminum unit reaches the painting stage.
