Sailing the dream at 60 plus Another lovely day out in the North Adriatic

Tim and Emmie's well travelled 'Shadowfax' accommodates all manner of sporting equipment all of which got well used during the 18 months they spent cruising the Canary Islands. Bicycles, SCUBA gear, parapents, rock climbing gear, drones, paddle boards are just some of the cargo squeezed into the lockers leaving just enough room for Emmie to fit an art studio and for Tim's camera gear. This is a multi-sports tale of adventure in the lovely Canary Islands. They write, '“We planned to merely stop in at the Canary Islands en route to Senegal. We imagined hotels, jet skis and villas sprawling back into the interior of each island. Everything we wanted to avoid. 1.5 years later we were still there! With a little adventurous pilotage we discovered remote anchorages, amazing volcanic landscapes, superb scuba diving, challenging climbing, plentiful fishing, interesting locals and plenty of history for Emmie to create a series of paintings from.

Floatopia: A Vision for Sustainable Travel in Raja Ampat **What is Floatopia?** Floatopia is a pioneering eco-tourism initiative nestled in the breathtaking archipelago of Raja Ampat, Indonesia. It comprises a floating villa known as Floatopia and a trimaran sailboat, Big Kanu, both designed to provide immersive, environmentally conscious travel experiences. Our mission is to offer guests unparalleled access to one of the most pristine natural environments on the planet, while maintaining a firm commitment to sustainability and local community benefits. **Why Floatopia?** **Environmental Impact:** Raja Ampat is a marine paradise known for its significant biodiversity, including over 1,300 species of fish and 75% of the world's known coral species. However, like many pristine natural areas, it faces threats from conventional tourism practices that can damage the very wonders they seek to showcase. Floatopia addresses this by integrating eco-friendly technologies and sustainable practices in every aspect of its operations, from energy use to waste management, to ensure minimal environmental impact. **Cultural Integrity and Community Support:** Beyond environmental concerns, Floatopia is deeply committed to preserving the cultural integrity of Raja Ampat and enhancing the well-being of its local communities. Through community-engaged tourism, educational programs, and direct support of local projects, Floatopia aims to ensure that tourism revenues benefit local populations and help to sustain their unique cultural heritage. **Why It Matters:** The concept of sustainable travel is more critical now than ever. By supporting a model that prioritizes ecological and social responsibility, backers of Floatopia contribute to a global shift towards more sustainable tourism practices. This project not only helps protect one of the earth's most incredible ecosystems but also demonstrates a viable alternative to traditional tourism models that can be replicated in other sensitive environments worldwide. **How Backers Can Contribute:** **1. Funding Eco-Friendly Infrastructure:** Contributions will fund the enhancement of Floatopia's sustainable infrastructure, including solar power installations, water purification systems, and eco-friendly building materials for both the floating villa and the Big Kanu trimaran. **2. Supporting Conservation Initiatives:** Funds will also support ongoing conservation efforts such as coral reef restoration projects, wildlife protection programs, and environmental education for local communities and tourists. **3. Empowering Local Communities:** A portion of the funds raised will be directed towards initiatives that empower local communities through skills training in eco-tourism, supporting local artisans and small businesses, and developing community-led environmental projects. **How Contributions Make a Positive Impact:** Every contribution to Floatopia not only helps further the development of the project but also amplifies the positive impact on the environment and local communities. Backers have the unique opportunity to be part of a transformative project that: - **Protects biodiversity** by minimizing ecological footprints and funding direct conservation efforts. - **Supports local economies** by prioritizing local hiring, sourcing, and investing in community development. - **Promotes environmental awareness** among visitors and locals alike, fostering a culture of conservation and respect for nature. **Join Us:** We invite you to join us in making Floatopia a beacon of sustainable travel. Your support is not just a contribution to a project; it's an investment in a sustainable future and a testament to the belief that travel and conservation can go hand in hand. Together, we can ensure that the wonders of Raja Ampat are preserved and cherished for generations to come.

Of course, taking breaks is necessary to sustain productivity over time. We feel a little guilty for being away from work. You might ask yourself, “What if the boss sees me taking a coffee break?” That’s probably why you never take guilt-free breaks and never really recharge, which will hurt you further down the line. It is essential to realize that it is normal to have moments that are less productive. This fear can lead to burnout, a decrease in job satisfaction, and will affect your mental health. Learn how to shift your thinking about productivity and to believe that downtime increases creativity and productivity. Learn how to set realistic daily goals that still allows for some flexibility and breaks, minimizing the stress of having to be constantly ‘on’. Discover mindfulness techniques that will help you become present and focused, rather than anxious about productivity.

This episode we continue reviewing the excellent, RYA Sea Survival Handbook by Keith Colwell with a look at the psychological tactics that must be employed to get you past circumstances that may be life and death in the very real meaning of the phrase.

Continuing the ABC of basic sailing concepts series, I take a look in this episode at the modern revolution in information collection, exchange and processing on board the modern yacht.  So, step away from your Scrimshaw, put down your sextant and lend me your shell-like because you are not going to believe what is possible on a phone in the middle of the Atlantic these days.  

In this episode we investigate handling lines- a wide and varied subject that tests my abilities to stay on subject and not launch into exponential tangents!  I try to make the case for not just doing things 'as they have always been done  historically' particularly with regards to storing rope, and to be sympathetic to the needs of a new generation of rope types that require different husbandry both when working and when being stored. In trying to stay on point I look at the major line handling stations on the boat and talk through the skills required to be safe and effective. Finally I take a brief look at mooring and anchoring and the specific challenges these line handling situations create.

In this episode I discuss the story of Noah's Ark.  I have to admit that until I researched this episode I did not fully realize that until the early 19th century the Encyclopaedia Britannica cited the legend of the Ark as being 'an historical fact' so understandably there has been lots to unpack with this mysterious craft, both for and against!

In this episode I read the penultimate episode of Capt. Joshua Slocum's 'Sailing Alone Around the World'. In these chapters (17 &18) Slocum is approaching the Cape of Storms- the modern day Cape of Good Hope which is the final challenge he must over come before completing his incredible solo circumnavigation of the world in 1897.

In this episode I start a new series intended to deep dive into various seamanship topic, organized only by their relationship to the alphabet! This series will be done entirely 'off-the-cuff' and without research as a self critical way of unearthing what I actually know as a 'professional'. The theory is that unlike other professions that may allow for research to be done 'on the job' sailing requires it's adherents to store all relevant info in the old grey matter for instant application- If that is true then it should be easy to spot the 'pros' from the 'cons' by simply asking them to put their money where their mouth is- lets see how I gt on!! The big question I need you to help with is: 'If A is for Anchoring... what are B & C for?'

In this episode I examine the concept of 'Chronoception' our in-built ability to assess the passing of time and how it changes in times of stress, fear, activity, boredom & excitement. Time and memory are variable depending on what you are doing, how much you enjoy it and what chemicals your brain is creating whilst you do it. This week I look at how sailing offers us a perfect activity to wind back the clock somewhat and begin laying down memories that are as rich and vivid as those created in the heady days of our youth; memories we often identify as the the best days of our lives. Is there any way to slow down time back down and get off the rollercoaster I- at least- seemed to board sometime just after 40- I propose there is and sailing is a fantastic way to do it.

Capt Joshua Slocum is famous amongst sailors for his single handed circumnavigation, West around the world between 1895 and 1898. No one had ever completed such a voyage alone and Slocum's book about his adventure became an instant classic, compared by some to David Henry Thoreau's 'Walden'. The real life character behind the myth, was and still is very much a mystery only compounded by the fact that Slocum went back to sea in 1909 and was never heard from again.   This incredible book takes us on a unique journey, meeting people who knew the Capt, not least three of his children (then surviving in the 1950's) and his wife, Hettie, then in her nineties.  There are many books about Slocum, but to me, this is the one that answers the most questions, and clarifies at least some of the burning questions about why this man, before all others, should be the one to take on, and succeed, in the heretofore impossible.  In the final chapters we also learn the details of Slocum's last departure and begin the discussion on where the Capt was headed on his next great adventure.
