A government mandate has been increasing the amount of ethanol in the nation's fuel supply, which not only damages boat engine and fuel systems but can present very real safety concerns. Mandating the increasing use of the ethanol was legislation passed in 2005, the Renewable Fuel Standard, which BoatUS (http://www.BoatUS.com/e15aGoodLawForYesterday), along with a coalition of groups, is now fighting to repeal.

💫 Catherine Chabaud, première femme française à avoir bouclé un tour du monde à la voile en solitaire, sans escale et en course, lors du Vendée Globe 1996-1997. ⛈️ Lors de ce fameux Vendée Globe, alors qu’elle affronte les mers du Sud seule à bord de son monocoque “Whirlpool-Europe 2”, elle traverse une tempête d’une violence inouïe. Les vagues sont si hautes qu’elle ne voit plus l’horizon. Elle raconte qu’à un moment, elle s’est surprise à parler à haute voix à son bateau comme à une personne : 🐋 « Je lui disais : Tiens bon, mon grand. Allez, on y va tous les deux, on sort de là ensemble. » 👍🏽 Ce moment d’intimité entre la navigatrice et son voilier illustre magnifiquement la relation fusionnelle que peuvent entretenir les marins avec leur embarcation, surtout dans les situations extrêmes. Elle expliquera plus tard qu’elle n’a jamais vraiment eu peur à ce moment-là, parce qu’elle avait confiance en son bateau, et que c’est cette confiance réciproque qui l’a portée jusqu’au bout. #Voile #VendéeGlobe #CatherineChabaud #aventureenmer #navigation #femmesfortes #JoyEnMer

What happened that we found AWEN with two big holes in our catamaran and on the hard for more work? In this episode we catch you up on what's going on in the boatyard and how work is progressing.

Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We worked with Outremer in France (with the help of Google Translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speed test, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us.

Holly and Stephane are formerly from the San Francisco Bay Area but have a home in Tahoe. Our 'someday' plan was to sell our belongings, buy a boat, and, with reckless abandon, sail away to visit distant lands, which we did starting in 2020. You can follow our transition and journey in our candid podcast, Covert Castaway, wherever you listen. You can also follow every stop we’ve made with pictures and blogs and stream our podcast directly on our website. ================================= #sailing #boatwork #catamaranlife #oceanadventure #outremer #sailing #catamaran #outremer #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #stayhealthy #learning #vlog #podcast #live #motivation #travel #nomad #boattour #sailingadventure #bucketlist #adventure #nomad #retirement #adventureawaits #ocean #learning #youtubecommunity #youtubelife #vlog #youtubechannel #performance #weather #SwN&x% #martinique #scubadiving #rainforest © Sailing AWEN
