S3#24. Racing to beat the next Atlantic Storm. Atlantic Crossing on Leopard 50 Catamaran

Join our Patreon : patreon.com/BarefootDoctorsSailing - from $3/episode Join Barefoot Doctors Sailing as we move into Day 5 of the Atlantic crossing on a Leopard 50 sailing catamaran as the pressure is on to get above the north end of the next Atlantic storm. We face light and fluky winds and need to make the best of any wind we have... We enjoy a sunny day and with the engines running we attend daily tasks - 4 loads of washing, cleaning the stainless and making water. Paul also makes the low friction rings for the Oxley with bungees so shows how to tie bungees with a slipping and locking figure of eight type knot. This is not a normal figure of eight and can also be used for fishing lines so is a great extra to have up your sleeve. Paul has rigged some bungee on the shrouds as well so I set you all the conundrum to tell me what they are for????? If you want to know what it is like to sail 8000 miles across open ocean, jump on board with us! Our exciting Patreon option from only $3 per week, will allow our supporters to enjoy live updates on positions and daily logs on the Atlantic crossing as well as join us for sailing events in Gocek, Turkey (Sept 2023), Aegean Greece, May 2024. Then in Dubai Jan 2025 (aboard the new Portofino 52) join us for the launching party and test sails!!! We are also offering boat build tours with sailing off Dubai to share the progress of the P52 build and provide whatever sailing or life discussions that YOU want us to provide during all of these events..... It is a very exciting prospect and we have been requested repeatedly to give advice, take folk sailing, teach sailing techniques etc etc.... So here it is!!! Any Patreons will have the choice to join us for these events which are usually about 5 days to be up close and personal with Eli and John and learn from their expertise... There will be sailing trips, excursions and chats during the events and the subjects will be designed to suit the participants that will be there. Patreons will receive all the sailing and talks with the Barefoot Doctors without any cost but will only have to cover their own travel, food and accomodation costs. All Patreon proceeds go to Exqisit Life Foundation to support TUFMINDS Mental Resilience and Suicide Prevention Program worldwide. Some come Barefoot with us on this exciting journey - now physically and in person with Patreon if you wish!!! Binge watch and come barefoot with us as we travel and explore the planet, mostly from the water but sometimes through the minds of others as we provide aid and support where needed through the amazing TUFMINDS solutions! WHAT IS TUFMINDS The free TUFMINDS program is released as a smartphone program under the Exqisit Life Foundation Charity, a registered not for profit and requires financial support to fund the free program.
