 traffic as we cross the shipping lanes so here's the AIS automatic identification system or something like that and as you can see that's me that's the sailing vessel from earlier September song I called them up no reply fast asleep and now we're starting to see some traffic and I hear you say but Dave there's just two ships there mate you don't have to worry about that no worry what's the difficulty well that's two I'm on the 12 mile range if I increase the range that's really what we're facing oscatango tea kettle over the base wind today has been rather pleasant it's nice sailing conditions to be honest the waves are down the winds about 15 knots and it's all jolly nice except that like for the last three days I guess I'm under this overcast sky with low cumulus sometimes rain bearing like these bastards here and they tend to just drop air which confuses everything so you know you're too long everything's happy all of a sudden the wind shifts by 30 degrees drops or accelerates the boat starts flipping it's a pain in the butt missed me you bastard because I am close haul welcome to the galley where in the left corner weighing in at 400 grams we have beef stew and dumplings and in the right corner weighing in at 400 grams we have beef curry together we're going to make a stewed beef and dumpling curry hooray we've done some fancy thinking we've come up with a scheme in the thick of the traffic but my band has some popped out for a while it's gone back in of course now and we're listening to I guess this is um New York strip club music Lisbon signs capes and Vincent we are right here the moment we're heading in like this then we're going to come out like this then we're going to go down like this it'll be lovely I just noticed this is an old chart that I have that's six years ago we did this where did we finish right there in Horta and that was with Mickey boy Mickey boy all right boy on his uh Lauren Giles virtue a little 24 foot 25 foot uh wooden yacht which leaked like a sieve and that really was a wet trip we and we had oopsie days we had terrible weather the whole time there most of the time there but where am I pointing the camera what is it what is it Aves says ABE focus you fuck so yes so so I'm I'm vaguely familiar with this stretch of water here and now I'm familiar with this stretch of water down there and we're going to come across here we're going to come across here we're going to go through here and then we're heading that way I've got more charts for that I've got I've got proper charts for the local areas here but this is just a big plotting chart um you don't need every detail on this size chart you just need to have a vague idea where you're going he's been calling him for the last 15 minutes does he not realize you're out of fucking range mate some fancy footwork I was in conflict with this duty on this stack so a little bit of running down wind in the in the gap in the middle I'll wait until they're clear then I'll tack back in again the AIS system is getting old he's screaming at me actually I don't think he likes Tom Petty and to be honest I've gone off Tom Petty as well
