My mind is not on Orcas, but on Outremers. As I read it, you bought a new Outremer 55 in 2021 and it has served you well. But now, after only three years of ownership, you are in the process of buying another Outremer 55 catamaran. You are happy with the design, and a three year old (almost) custom boat must take almost three years to sort out and fettle. I'm guessing there has been minimal change in the design, so perhaps you want a boat with a different set of options. Please would you give us a couple of paragraphs (or perhaps even a whole video), discussing technical aspects of the boat swap

@@CatGreatcircle Now I'm really curious "Sold her 5 years ago on the day we bought her"????? And if the new boat is not an Outremer 55, what will it be?
@CatGreatcircle3 күн бұрын
Seems like a good deal at the time or? In the meantime either inflation we could have made a profit though… For the final choice of the next boat you’ll probably have to wait until our presentation on the Cannes boat show on Friday the 13th

Congratulations on your circumnavigation and safe return! Thank you for sharing your journe with us, wonderful cinematography. As for the orca's, it beats me why French or Spanish or Portuguese (or EU) marine scientists have not yet tracked down and attached the problematic pod with tracking devices? Trackers can easily be linked to marine warning systems, sharing their hourly location so that boats avoid their vicinity. The technology exists; in South Africa they are tracking great white sharks and whales all the time - whales being easier as they spend most of their time on the surface. 🤷♂

There is a limited signed first edition that will be available via Outremer on their stand on the Cannes Boat Show during a blue water seminar on Friday the 13th, where we will be presenting too. The French translation will be available just after Cannes and depending on demand I am sure we’ll find options to arrange a second print.

😂 well famous I don’t know. Let’s find out as the first print was just a limited number of copies that Outremer will distribute in Cannes …. I might see a first copy tomorrow. There might be a way to organize a second print if we have underestimated the demand. I did like to write the book and relive all those beautiful moments. It’s probably already worth having a look at the over a thousand pictures of the boat and our destinations all around the world

2 days ago we saw on the news that expert said that Orcas are playing not attacking. Apparently they have more than enough food in the area, specifically tunas…. So, Orcas are boring and they are playing a little with the trims and rudders of the boats.
@CatGreatcircle9 күн бұрын
I don’t really see a difference in them playing our rudders off or taking them off in a deliberate attack. We had plenty of rudder experiences around DC the world to want to skip these ones desperately
