Music: http://www.purple-planet.com and Kevin MacLeod Sailing 51 nautical miles across Port Phillip bay in my trailer sailer Halcyon, stopping over at Swan Bay near Queenscliff overnight in gentle winds from 0 to15 knots. One of my favorite spots on PPB that can only be accessed on the top half of the tide in shallow draft boats. Video gives an insight into why I sail these wonderfully versatile and capable boats.

The thing about lightning is it’s difficult to avoid in the tropics, particularly when the monsoon hits town. ...

Getting to shore–which tends to be a long way from where you are anchored–is pretty impossible during stormy weather unless you have a rib the size of the average yacht. Or you don’t mind getting drenched. When the first murmurings of this year’s SW monsoon came rumbling in, we cancelled our plans to meet friends in town and stayed aboard. Squadrons of clouds hurled lightning across the sky at each other for two days, while we sheltered in the cockpit and collected rainwater in buckets. There’s nowhere to go in this sort of weather. You just have to trust to luck that your mast will be less attractive than someone else’s when that stray lightning bolt searches for a place to crash land. We were OK this time, but in India we hadn’t been so lucky. The damage had been minor, we just lost our radar. This wasn’t the monsoon proper, just a little sortie before the main event arrived next month. Eventually the sun came out and the sky turned from black to blue, so we headed to shore to collect ingredients for cocktails. Well, what else are you gonna do? Mint was in abundance in the markets, so mojitos were on the cards…now if only we could get enough ice from the town back to Esper without it melting. Before getting excited about mint, it might have been a good idea to check our white rum situation, which was basically two fingers. Hey ho, we improvised with various other ingredients and came up with something which approximated a mojito. During all the kerfuffle of working out how to make these fine cocktails, Millie reminded us how clever she is by making use of the rear heads. Not fancying the idea of cat litter rolling around the cabin sole, we had trained her to use the toilet at a very early age. We caught her on camera this time, and present the footage as evidence that–contrary to popular belief–it is possible to train a cat. After a few more days in the bay, we left for Phi Phi Don. Yes, before you raise an eyebrow, it is true that we hadn’t thought much of the place during our first brief visit. But we were assured by our new friend from Patreon, American McGee, that he knew of a particularly nice spot where we could hook up… On our way there, we took a break overnight at a peaceful anchorage along the coast of Ko Yai, a gentle spot just east of Ao Chalong. Jamie tried out his new ‘skin’, frightened off a few jellyfish and set about scraping the prop, while Liz and Millie indulged in a spot of unproductive fishing. It was our first quiet night in over two weeks. ****************************** The fantastic music on this video comes under the Creative Commons license.

On Friday, during the Annapolis Boat Show, ASA hosted an exclusive luncheon at the US Naval Academy. This was an opportunity for ASA Instructors and ASA Affiliates to meet and talk about sailing. Charlie Nobles, Executive Director of ASA, gave an update on the latest initiatives being implemented by ASA and introduced the guest note speaker, Jonathon Wright, who is Vanderstar Chair on the board of Directors for the US Naval Academy Sailing Program. Wright's sailing resume includes crewing in five America's Cup campaigns (and winning three) over 13 years trimming the sails on the 12 Metres "COURAGEOUS" in 1974, INDEPENDENCE in 1977, FREEDOM in 1980, LIBERTY in 1983, and STARS & STRIPES in 1987.

In light and shifty nor’easters the combination of tactician David Chapman, Colin Beashel on mainsheet and North Sail’s Richie Allanson on jib and kite trim, combined with the usual high standard of crew work befitting the current Australian champions, drove Leslie Green’s Ginger to the series lead by one point after four races. Howard Spencer’s Menace (NZL) with Emirates Team New Zealand’s Ray Davies another fly-in tactician (Cascais last week and Sydney this weekend), sailed a solid 4-1-3-1 day to be a point off Ginger John Bacon’s Dark Star in third overall had first pick of the best-tasting olives on the platter in race three, scoring the bullet easily, then sucked on the bitter pips in race four when the long-time and talented Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club team sailed into a hole on the upwind leg and finished last.

We talked to Laurent Fabre, president of Beneteau America, about the Annapolis Boat Show, the success of the ASA First 22, and some of their new boats.

In this video we find a better liveaboard marina than the one from last episode, we look at a very promising O'Day 31 sailboat. Best of all, Jeff H from Sailnet.com explains the difference between encapsulated and bolt on keels! stock media provided by retroklips/pOND5 by royalty-free Agreement misc courtesy of youtube royalty-free music

Trekking in the Alps with good friends from Germany.

We sailed to Tanna, Vanuatu this week to visit Mt. Yasur the active volcano there. This video should give a brief snapshot of the action. It was awesome!

A quick highlight of Day 2 action at the 2015 Annapolis Boat Show.

One step closer to being back in the water! :-)

After Patrice left, my little sister came to visit me and we have spent some precious island time together: fishing, beach fires, sailing and of course some squalls... Hopefully there will be a good weather window to sail up to San Andres soon.... Enjoy, ahoy, thanks for watching and see you next week, Nike & KARL Visit www.whitespotpirates.com for more info about KARL, the journey or people I met during my trip. --- This is NOT a live documentary!
