Ben, thanks for sharing this. I am finding your series honest, exhilarating and intimate enough to make me feel I was there too. Well done!

I take it that your title 'Sailing northwest' is ironic ;-)

Well, maybe not entirely ironic. I love the sailing clips by the way - even in light breezes, OB eats up the miles in a very graceful way.

Salutacions, Ben, des de Tarragona.

Vaig investigant aquest invisible workshop :-)

Yes Gav, she really does. With a following wind of just six knots she's away. And with 10 well, you've seen the video, she flies.

Eduard,

ens llegim!

The other thing I find striking about OB is that she seems to be nicely steady as you move about her. I don't know why - perhaps its experience with a dory of the same size - but somehow I instinctively expect more wobble!

Anyway, it's good!
