The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

Sailing a Strike 18 trimaran by Woods Designs. Video was taken on its second sail before fitting the trampolines and deck cushions. You can build this boat yourself in plywood. I also have a smaller Strike 16 and a more performance oriented Strike 15. As well as dozens of other multihull designs, both power and sail, that you can build. Check out my website www.sailingcatamarans.com for more

I bought a timber boat with no clue about boats, this i my first boat, a 40ft converted fishing boat. It needs a lot of love and repairs and I will try to figure out how to do most of it myself, youtube, other boaties, friends and family will help along the way turning this old mould boat into a floating home!
