Just as we were about to set sail here in Greece from the island Poros, our wind sensor suddenly stopped working. No wind direction, no wind speed. Not ideal when you're navigating open waters. Maybe it had been a bird? Or sun and salt damage? Or just one strong gust too many. Whatever the cause, I had to climb up the mast, attached to a line and helped with a winch. And ofcourse the new windmeter! So up I went — 22 meters high at the top of our catamaran’s mast and the camera rolling! I filmed the whole thing. Because this moment captures what it means to be a Digital Nomad: 🔹 Being ready to improvise 🔹 Making decisions to set clear couse again 🔹 Trusting your preparation, your partner and yourself 🔹 And staying calm, even with a shaky view ➡️ Want to see what it looks like up the mast, installing a new windmeter? 📹 Watch the video!

S/V Sweet n Salty is a 2010 Leopard 46 catamaran, for sale by owner. She is a beautiful Leopard 46 with loads of upgrades to add to the comfort of living aboard. The 2360 watts of solar and 1200 amps of lithium are enough to power the water maker or the air conditioner without the generator. The rain head shower head on the port scoop is perfect after using the swim platform to enjoy the crystal clear water. The galley is outfitted with all the comforts of home and you can choose to cook with gas/electric or microwave. After a long day of sailing the front deck has cushions for relaxing and an awning for shade...while the owners stateroom has a king bed to retire in comfort. So many added touches make her special, she is clearly a well loved boat! Additional catamaran photos, details, and equipment list as well as seller contact information can be viewed at: https://www.catamaransite.com/catamarans-for-sale/#post-49245

We completed Leg One of Voyage, Heading to Tokyo for 70th Birthday and Gerontology Conference First Mate Ian is staying on board and I'm heading to Tokyo for a 70th birthday celebration and to attend a gerontology conference where I'm on the organizing committee. I'm also there to support a keynote speaker who I helped get a book published. Next, I'll be traveling from Kagoshima to Shimane, the only prefecture I haven't been to yet, and I plan to try to visit as many prefectures as possible by boat, on foot, or other means. #Okinawa #Kagoshima #Amami #sailing #Japan #Uken #70thbirthday Birthday

Harking from a seminal period in #sparkman & Stephens design history following their 12-Metre INTREPID's America's Cup success - when S&S led the way in split-keel-and-rudder racers and cruiser-racers - ROSE WILDER has the added good fortune of build by one of the finest of Italian yards, Cantiere Sangermani. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/710/ROSE%20WILDER%20(ex%20SANDPIPER) Their artistic attention to detail and quality is evident throughout. As SANDPIPER in long initial ownership by #santa #Barbara #yacht Club's Dean Brown, she was a well known and successful participant in some of the classic West Coast USA offshore races. Subsequently she has cruised the Pacific seaboard in the hands of only two owners who, not surprisingly, fell in love with this very attractive, responsive and sure-footed yacht. Modern sail handling systems allow her to be easily sailed single or short handed while bow and stern thrusters allow neat berthing feats. Although very much in commission, ROSE WILDER does require attention to elements of her structure commensurate with her age - reflected in a very reasonable asking price for a very striking 50-footer with superb provenance.
