The Mariner Episode 19: Just Another Night at Sea

In this mid-Atlantic update I have to perform a a little surgery on the engine after the alternator belt breaks & I discover that despite having many spare belts on board- I DON'T have the one required for the job. I also take a walk around on deck and give a sense of what it is like to be at sea on a beautiful moon lit night and pose a question for the more studious seafarers out there! Who is the Mariner? My name is Chris Stanmore-Major better known as CSM. I have over 300,000Nm experience in racing, cruising & expedition sailing and have raced twice around the world. I sailed solo around the world in the Velux 5 Oceans Race in 2011 (in Falcon's sister ship) becoming the 182nd person ever to circumnavigate alone. This channel is for sailors of all skill levels and backgrounds. My passion is seamanship & self reliance and helping others realize their sailing dreams on their own boats - whatever size or shape of craft that may be.
