• Video: Night Watch - Atlantic Crossing Night 10 + Course Change

  Today was mega-frustrating, so this is just a short update about our travails and about a change to our travel plan.

  

• Video: Night Watch - Atlantic Crossing Night 9 + How We Flush

  Faster and more direct sailing day. It would have been fun if we had done anything other than sit at the table and work.

  

• Video: Night Watch - Atlantic Crossing Night 8 + Other Vessels

  Sailing, but still not on a direct path to where we're going. A quick discussion of what it looks like when we encounter a ship on the high seas.

  

• Video: Night Watch - Atlantic Crossing Night 7 + Port Side Technical Room

  I am delighted by a middle of the night visitor, and a tour of the port tech room, where we take seawater into the boat and distribute it to the places where it belongs. The last 2/3 of this one is pretty technical/geeky, so if boat systems aren't your thing, you can check out early without missing anything.

  

• Video: Night Watch - Atlantic Crossing Night 6 + Sailing Wing and Wing

  We're sailing pretty well tonight! Our talk is about a particular sail configuration for downwwind. Then, I throw in a few pictures from the day. None of humans, because we're not fit to be seen at this point.

  

• Video: Night Watch - Atlantic Crossing Night 5 + Maks is a Gross Eater

  I have all kinds of cool boat tour things left to show you guys. But I'm giving the amatuer hour video editing guy an easy night instead. But the add-on clip of the cat eating does end up being pretty funny, I think.
