Five hundred miles offshore, making our way across the Atlantic aboard Osprey, and we've encountered a weather system that's forcing us to reconsider our routing options. Every routing solution seems determined to send us hundreds of miles north, some almost as far as St. John's, Newfoundland, adding perhaps five hundred unnecessary miles to our passage. The problem is that the routing software is missing one very important option: the ability to stop. So that's exactly what we've done. With winds of thirty-five to forty knots, we've stopped the boat and settled into a much more comfortable and stable situation. Instead of pushing the boat and crew through difficult conditions, we're allowing the weather to move through while we take the opportunity to rest, attend to personal equipment, catch up on small jobs and recover some energy. We'll probably spend around twelve hours like this. When we get moving again, the crew will be refreshed, the boat will have avoided unnecessary punishment, and the weather should allow us to pick up a much more direct route towards Lanzarote, closer to the great circle. We also take a look around below decks and discuss our freshwater arrangements. Osprey's original water tanks are showing their age, with scale and contamination concerns making them unsuitable for drinking water. It's another practical challenge of operating an older offshore racing yacht, and one that requires careful management. But the bigger message of this episode is about seamanship. Knowing when and how to stop a sailing boat is every bit as important as knowing how to make it go fast. Whether that's heaving to, lying ahull or deploying a parachute sea anchor, the appropriate method depends on the boat and the conditions. Understanding those options, practising them and knowing how your own boat behaves can make an enormous difference when difficult weather arrives. Stopping isn't necessarily losing time. Sometimes it's the most efficient route forward. And perhaps more importantly, it gives both the boat and the people aboard the opportunity to recover, physically and psychologically, before continuing the voyage. Out here, five hundred miles offshore, that's exactly what we're doing.SAIL ABOARD OSPREY IN 2027 We're inviting sailors and supporters to join us aboard Osprey for a programme of offshore racing and ocean passages in 2027. Our planned events include: RORC Transatlantic Race — Lanzarote to Antigua, January 2027. RORC Caribbean 600 — February 2027. Antigua to Bermuda — an offshore passage through the Atlantic in April. Rolex Fastnet Race — August 2027. These are opportunities to experience genuine offshore sailing aboard a powerful 80-foot ocean racing yacht, learn from the challenges of operating her, and become part of the wider campaign. Places are available through our sailing sponsorship programme, which supports Osprey's preparation and our longer-term racing ambitions. If you're interested in joining us, please contact me through CSM The Mariner. Tell me a little about your sailing experience, which event interests you, and what you'd like to achieve. SUPPORT THE GLOBAL SOLO CHALLENGE CAMPAIGN Osprey is being prepared for the Global Solo Challenge, a solo, non-stop circumnavigation of the world. The work we're doing now, from rigging and sails to the smallest details of reliability and maintenance, is all part of preparing this extraordinary yacht for the demands of sailing alone around the planet. It's a substantial undertaking, and your support makes a real difference.

Welcome back to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of USA Podcast! In this episode, hosts Bela Musits and Mike Wasserman sit down once again with offshore passage-maker John Slingerland from the Bluewater Sailing Club to explore the reality of sailing offshore from Newport, Rhode Island to Bermuda and down to the Caribbean. Offshore passage planning can easily become overwhelming, especially with dense checklists, gear debates, and shifting weather patterns. John brings a refreshingly practical perspective to bluewater cruising, arguing why genuine overnight sea time on your own boat matters far more than just ticking boxes on an equipment inspection. We break down the Bluewater Sailing Club’s Caribbean Challenge Cruise—a multi-stage, à la carte voyage starting with a late-autumn crossing of the Gulf Stream to Bermuda, continuing on to St. Martin, and meandering down the island chain all the way to Grenada. John breaks down what it takes to navigate 10-to-15-foot seas, the realities of handling heavy weather, and why comfort, crew endurance, and conservative sailing choices always trump chasing high boat speeds. In this deep dive, Bela, Mike, and John examine critical offshore topics: • Gulf Stream weather windows and partnering with trusted weather routers like Chris Parker • Watch schedules, rest cycles, and managing crew fatigue on long passages • Practical onboard safety: hydrostatic EPIRB mounting, life raft placement, jackline rigging, and personal AIS beacons • Critical logistics at sea: underway fuel transfers, fresh watermakers, and battery management • The psychology of risk, group sailing dynamics, and finding your own cruising comfort zone Whether you are preparing for your very first Gulf Stream crossing, planning an Atlantic rally, or dreaming of trading coastal cruising for warm island anchorages in the Caribbean, John’s candid advice provides invaluable insights for skippers of all experience levels. Plus, stay tuned as Bela and Mike share an exciting new series format: real-time underway podcast dispatches recorded directly with boats at sea via Starlink satellite! Enjoyed the episode?

▶ Assista ao episódio #83 completo: https://youtu.be/NyF2GBiEie0 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Navegando pelo Lagamar, entre o Paraná e São Paulo, paramos na comunidade do Medeiros, uma vila de pescadores bem organizada, acessível só pela água. Por lá, quem não come peixe resolveu dar uma chance às ostras gratinadas na brasa, direto do cultivo, a 20 reais a dúzia. E não é que gostou? No Medeiros conhecemos o principal construtor de canoas e bateiras da região, com seu leme de asa de morcego. Ele explica como a fibra é laminada sobre um molde, por que a madeira ainda tem vantagem (se furar, ela não afunda) e conta que o pai dele construiu barcos para o Amyr Klink. Cada canoa carrega detalhes e ornamentos que contam quem a fez ou a quem pertence. Sem sinal de celular, também mostramos uma gambiarra de bordo: um modem com powerbank içado no mastro para pegar internet. No dia seguinte, a caminho de Guaraqueçaba, o motor começou a esquentar, com corrente contra e quase nada de vento. Subimos o gennaker para manter o governo do barco e trocamos a borracha da mufla em plena navegação. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📲 Siga o Hashtag Sal: Instagram: @hashtagsal_oficial 🔔 Inscreva-se no canal e ative o sininho pra acompanhar os próximos episódios. #Lagamar #Guaraquecaba #Ostras #CanoaCaicara #AmyrKlink #Cortes #HashtagSal #Vela #Veleiro

We leave the beautiful island of Chalki and sail across the Aegean to Symi aboard our Najad 380, Indara. After arriving in Symi, we get on our bikes and cycle from Pedi to the beautiful town of Symi, exploring the colourful waterfront and streets. We then take a bus across the island to visit the famous Panormitis Monastery before heading back to Indara. And, because boat life always seems to include a repair… I replace our engine extractor fan and get it working again! Another day of sailing, cycling, exploring and fixing things aboard Indara. **Sail. Ride. Explore. Repeat.** #sailing #symi #greece #indarasailing #najad380 🎵 Music: Dramatic Cinematic Documentary by musicdream Licensed via Pixabay Content License
