Le Cap Vert nous a bien emballé. Nous y sommes allés en famille : mes parents et nous 3, une première ! Cet archipel synonyme de transatlantique pour les navigateurs, de musique pour les mélomanes, de mélange de culture africaine et antillaise pour d'autres, nous en aura mis plein les yeux. Nous avons parcourus 3 îles : Sal, Sao Vicente et Santo Antao. _____________________________________________ Matériel vidéo : - Boitiers : Panasonic Lumix GX9 - Objectifs : Panasonic 12-32mm f3,5 - 5,6 35-100mm f4 - 5,6 - Drone : DJI Mini 2 - Enregistreur audio : ZOOM H1N Montage : Adobe Première Pro _____________________________________________ Musique proposée par : Artiste : Sona Jobarteh (Bleu Soleil REMIX) Titre : Mamaké Lien : https://soundcloud.com/bleusoleildub/mamake?si=95e95cf207264cde9f3831b52f83ad86&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Artiste : Yeahman ft.

Our Raja Ampat season began with the “All of North Raja Ampat” cruise, highlighting breathtaking dive sites from the vibrant Dampier Strait to the stunning seascapes of Penemu. We encountered graceful manta rays, elegant mobulas, elusive wobbegong sharks, and vast schools of fish thriving among pristine reefs. #RajaAmpat #DewiNusantara #LiveaboardLife #luxuryliveaboard #ScubaDiving #UnderwaterPhotography #MantaRays #MarineLife #DivingParadise #DiveTravel #OceanAdventure

In this episode I continue reading Capt. Joshua Slocum's excellent narrative of his solo circumnavigation of the world in 1895. In Chapters 13 &14 Slocum leaves Samoa, sailing to Australia and then Tasmania.  Australia is an opportunity for Slocum to relax a little- he is on the far side of the world from his starting point in Boston and is once again amongst friends and those who know of his voyage, many of whom are keen to assist him.  He decides at this point to take a Northerly route around Queensland and head to the trade winds blowing West through the Torres Strait rather than going around Cape Leeuwin to the South.  This affords Slocum time to visit a number of ports, raise some much needed funds and enjoy the cruise North through the Great Barrier Reef.

In this episode we explore D is for Damage and as always it's me shooting right from the hip discussing this crucial subject as we would sat on the deck of your boat with a cup of tea.  I am unapologetic for tangents and spurious information but the deal here is to plumb what exactly a 'pro' sailor is meant to know should things go sideways. I discuss, use of 'Mayday', grounding, keel damage, losing the rig & cutting it away, fire, collision, bilge-pumping and lots more! So, grab a cup of tea, sit yourself down and lets explore D is for Damage. Just before you go....

As the second wave of Covid 19 starts to be felt in territories across Asia, Europe and the Americas the building problem of millions of people facing prolonged isolation and social insulation starts to be felt as well. Mental health and the long term effects of going without normal human contact has well understood and well researched ramifications but is this being forgotten about as promises of vaccines and the end of lockdown circulate? With months to go in this pandemic in any reasonable forecast, now is the time to double-down on our awareness of the effects of the Covid restrictions on ourselves and others. If you have any questions you would like answering please send them to csmthemariner@gmail.com  (mailto:csmthemariner@gmail.com) If you recognize that creating this content requires hours of effort and you would like to help support for the equivalent of 25 cents per episode please visit my Patreon Site (https://www.patreon.com/themariner) and select the $2 per month option.

John Masefield's beautiful poem 'Sea Fever' has already inspired a few generations of sailors. With it's rallying call of; 'Take me down to the sea...', anyone with even a drop of saltwater in their veins can almost feel the wind on their face by the end of the iconic first stanza, but did you know Masefield's love affair with the sea goes much further than 'just' poetry? Masefield sailed and wrote extensively about the sea and none of his works is less known than, 'The Taking of the Gry' making this story an excellent option for the Mariner's Library- with this quality of authorship behind the pen- we know we are going to have an authentic maritime experience and this time it's a heist, and a grand one at that! The taking of an enemies prize ship- from the very harbour it is secured in! I really enjoyed reading this wonderful (and short!) book, and I hope, like me, you appreciate getting to hear this forgotten tome from the hand of a master.

If you are a solo sailor, a racer, a cruiser or even a dinghy sailor...  you  should know who Sir Francis Chichester is. Basically, he is the guy that proved to the world in the 60's that you could sail solo around the world without stops. He did stop, just once and only because he wanted to, but very soon afterwards the Sunday Times in the UK created the Golden Globe; the first ever Solo, Non-stop Around the World yacht race in 1968 and the rest is history. BUT, this was not the first of Francis Chichester's adventures, nor his last and in this book, The Romantic Challenge, we discover Francis just a few years on from his successful circumnavigation, looking for something else in sailing that will whet his whistle in the same way the circumnav did.   What he choose to do was to challenge the concept of sailing 200Nm per a day, a big feat for even modern computer-designed cruiser. At the time in the early 70's it was a far away goal to most sailors except those who remembered the Clipper ships . As was his style, he chose to add greatly to the difficulty of the undertaking, by laying forth a goal of completing this high daily mileage on not one or two days, but for five! He drew a 4000Nm line across the Atlantic and challenged himself to complete 1000Nm in five consecutive days. Meaning every single one of them would be required to be over 200NM.  It was a quantum leap in the psychology of performance around sailing and we are lucky that Sir Francis's style of writing allows the reader to get under the skin of the endeavour and really see inside the mind of a master mariner at work as he wrestles with the task.

After reading so many sailing books from the past 120 years I am starting to recognize certain authors who I had never heard of before starting the Mariner's Library who were giants within the sailing community a life time ago. One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is 'The Southseaman'.  Just learning whatever I can about the man, his adventures and the nature of his bond with the sea plus a quick reading of the opening few pages told me enough for me to know that we would be in for a great tale, told by a master storyteller.  I for one, am excited to hear for the first time an old, but fresh-to-me story, that was so inspiring and enjoyable to my own, long-gone sailing heroes If you would like to listen to more about sailing, the sea and regular discussions about safety & seamanship; check out The Mariner Podcast, available on all podcast platforms. https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/the-mariner/id1710667118 To support the production of this material please consider heading over to Patreon where for $5 a month you can get access to more audio books, videos, life streams and sailing discussion. https://www.patreon.com/themariner  Check out also, The Mariner Youtube Channel - where we have gear reviews, how to videos, seamanship training videos and on the water reports from all over the world. https://youtu.be/t0cfY6HqjLA Edward William Insurance.

After a day exploring the inner harbour of Port Stephens, a nice afternoon breeze springs up to take me home.
