The students onboard Vela had some pretty special encounters with Whales on their way across the Pacific between Fiji and Palau!

Giorno 269 - L’arrivo a Madeira Pensavate tutti che saremmo andati a Gibilterra. In effetti, lo pensavamo anche noi 😅 Poi studiando l’evolversi del meteo abbiamo visto che si formerà a breve un vento forte che soffia da nord chiamato Aliseo portoghese. Sono previste raffiche anche a 50 nodi con 5 metri di onde al traverso. Non avendo nessuna fretta, abbiamo preso l’unica decisione possibile: deviare su Madeira e attendere che il soffio di questo aliseo si esaurisca. Inoltre oggi pomeriggio abbiamo sperimentato un assaggio di quello che sarebbe stato attraversare quel tratto di mare con condizioni stressanti per noi ma soprattutto per la barca m e siamo stati felici di aver scelto per la sicurezza. Già 30 nodi con 2/2,5m di onda al traverso non sono una passeggiata, non immagino il doppio. L’arrivo invece è stato tranquillo, perché una volta agganciata l’isola siamo stati al riparo dal vento e dalle onde. La vera sfida è stata arrivare alle 3 svegli e operativi 😂 Comunque tutto è bene quel che finisce bene. Abbiamo trascorso una squisita settimana. Tra pesca ricca come non mai (una mattina abbiamo ributtato ben 4 tonnetti in mare), veleggiate sia tranquille sia sportive, ottima compagnia, buon bilanciamento tra serietà e ironia, siamo più che soddisfatti del viaggio. Domani, compatibilmente al lavoro, visiteremo l’isola tutti insieme. Chi è già stato a Madeira? Piaciuta? A domani! 😄 C.

J109 "Going to Red" beating to windward had a fine line to thread the gap between two other IRC 1 J-Boats during the first day of racing during Cork Week 2024. With the breeze building and plenty of bump it took a while for the crew on Going to Red to find their sea legs and get into the groove. . The team at Bottom Up Boats hope you like this short clip from our week of racing at Volvo Cork Week 2024

Welcome to Day 2 of our Christmas calendar! 🎄 Today, we’re diving into the galley—our compact yet highly functional kitchen on Vela. ⛵ Placed on the starboard side, just behind the nav station, our galley is designed for safety and efficiency: ✨ Longitudinal layout ensures we can cook securely even when the boat heels. ❄️ Big fridge and freezer for all our provisions. 🔥 Gas stove for cooking up delicious meals, even mid-passage. 💦 Double sink with 3 water outlets: Pressurized fresh water (hot/cold) Manual fresh water pump Manual saltwater pump (great for rinsing without wasting fresh water). On the opposite side, we have a spacious prepping area, and while we once had a microwave, we’ve replaced it with storage and an espresso machine—because we appreciate a good cup of coffee! ☕ What would you cook in this galley? Drop your ideas or questions in the comments! 👇 🎥 See you tomorrow for the next part of our boat tour! 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea
