The Mariner Episode 21: Sailing over the Grand Banks

I'm getting close to Nova Scotia but first I have to sail across a famous and infamous piece of water- the Grand Banks. Fog, Fishing, & Ferocious seas are this area's advertised hallmarks but for me it ends up being one of the most interesting and enjoyable parts of the trip. Caution however must be exercised as the voyage is drawing to a close and the easiest mistake to make now would be over confidence leading to over powering the boat and breaking something important. 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.
