Aceasta este cea mai gravă furtună prelungită în care am fost prinși pe Fair Isle, trei zile de vânt constant din partea greșită de 30 de noduri și rafale regulate de până la 48 de noduri la înălțimea furtunii. Această joasă intensitate s-a dezvoltat foarte repede dintr-un front rece care urmărea SE. Eram la 350 NM în larg, așa că nu era unde să alergăm, dar Fair Isle a fost construită pentru aceste condiții, chiar dacă nu suntem, așa că am reușit să luptăm prin furtună și nu a trebuit să apelăm la întoarcere și la alergare. Cu acesta. Ne-am așteptat o vreme în vârful furtunii în miezul nopții, dar în afară de asta am continuat să navigam puternic, ceea ce este o mărturie pentru ambarcațiune (și un test foarte bun al reparației recente a piciorului catargului!) Filmare în aceste condiții nu este ușor, nu doar pentru că ucide camerele și uneori este periculos de făcut, ci pentru că până la urmă practic nu dormisem de 4 zile (Judy avea, poate dormi oriunde!)

Wonderful drone footage Steve, but how did you manage not to be arrested for not complying with rules for drone flying ?
Are you not worried about galvanic corrosion between the stainless sleeve and aluminium boom?

Well that was a mighty test for your new mast base and rigging. Good job. Will you kindly ask your friend to safely dispose of his "depth charges". They would cause serious harm to Orcas and any other marine life. There's no justification for such tactics. Thanks.
Great video. Intrigued to know how you shot the cycling sequence. Really excellently done.
i can never see that type of dancing w/o remembering the Morticia/Gomez tango.
she's a very good boat. thanks for the video, I enjoyed it.
500nm low – "there is no way of outrunning this thing" @ 25m34s. That's a phase you will never hear from the carbon fibre $1.5m catamaran salesman. Long live the old school full keel 🙂
Run off take a couple more days to get to your destination its much more comfortable, no understanding why you would put yourselves and your boat in jeopardy. Hopefully when you are in that situation again you will take the advice.

Fair Isle says 'is that all you've got' !
Perfect music at 29:
It's highly recommended to use Tefgel on bolts in aluminum. Seriously… Especially on the boom as it's not only one of the most important parts on the boat but also it's a safety risk when the boom is coming down in a strong breeze. Please also deal with the obvious corrosion on the forward end of the boom for same reasons. Aluminum will crack without warning if the corrosion is not warning enough. You should have the sleeve coated with titanium. This will isolate the stainless from the aluminum and therefore erase the cause of the corrosion on the boom. Alternatively the hole sleeve can be made from titanium.
Loved the four seasons music track in this one.
I am surprised that you have no red lights in the doghouse, only white – letting your night vision become nothing…
Your boat is very capable especially with it’s great crew. Well done.
That is sailing – nature against humans. It is really a video (video is latin, and means "i see"), about how humans became the ruler of the earth, for the good and bad. Nice video from Sailing Fair Isle.
Quick Q re onboard 2-way communication headsets. I’ve seen you using them but can’t track down the ones you use.
If you have the time, let me know, & well done for getting through it. It was a tough one.
Wow I loved it!
And I was just telling my wife that modern weather forecasting is so good, nowadays, that we should never get caught out in bad weather by surprise 😮. You weathered it well, though, guys. Well done.
Was that awesome music Vivaldi?
That's a n awesome sail.
Another beauty of a video. I am so envious of you both! Apart from the stormy bits lol😂. Again another competent and calm crisis performance. Hope to see you again very soon. Merry Christmas from Sheffield England 🎉
Cheers for that.
Stay safe &, hopefully, dry.
Wow, what an incredible episode! The storm footage was intense, but you handled it like a pro. Your positive attitude and perseverance are truly inspiring. And can we talk about the Vivaldi music? It added such a dramatic and epic touch to the whole adventure. Also, I couldn't help but chuckle at the not-so-successful fishing rod. 😂 Nevertheless, this video had everything – stunning shots, technical tidbits, and even glimpses of Seville's beauty. Your videography skills continue to amaze me, especially capturing such challenging lighting and weather conditions. I felt like I was right there with you, albeit from the comfort of my armchair. Merry Christmas to you and may all your voyaging plans be fulfilled. Thank you for sharing these incredible adventures with us landlubbers. You truly prove that YouTube can provide travel experiences that rival any TV show. And Fair Isle is such a fantastic boat, taking everything the Force 9 Gale threw at her. Keep up the amazing work! ⛵️👏
Thanks for the video, I am pleased you guys finally got out the Med and are applying your videography skills to more interesting ocean passages.
I know you got delayed with unforeseen issues but your experience does highlight the accuracy of Jimmy Cornells advice. 'Leave for the Canaries after mid October and there is a much increased risk of storms on the way'!
Madeira is brilliant particularly if you like hiking (we stayed 2 weeks). Looking forward to the next episode. Greetings from SV Skyfall (now in NZ)
And THAT’s why ornery old critters like Steve & me don’t like modern flat bottom boats for blue water sailing. When it all turns bad out of nowhere, like it will, it’s bad enough in a good seaworthy boat like Fair Isle, without it slamming as well, and worrying about hull flex, keel bolts and unsupported rudders.
By the way, that staysail looks like it sets really well furled albeit with the sheet a bit slack (30:15), which is unusual. You must be pleased with that.
As usual, a well-balanced and interesting installment. You two make quite a team. Thanks also for the rigging update. You've got a beautiful boat, and we (SV Arcanum) hope you solve and fix those leaks. Moisture my not kill, but it certainly dampens the spirit. Cheers and tally Ho, Ho, Ho as Christmas approaches. Fair winds, Fair Isle!
P.S. We also hope you keep an extra Insta360 on hand, since ONE of you seems to like dunking it. You are just asking for Neptune to snatch it (He is a curious chap)! Peace
Nicely prepped for and handled and amazing filming and editing. Good to see all 3 of you in one piece. Merry Christmas to you also.
Great episode, I don't think you can beat Europe for culture or diversity, and Seville is wonderful. As to the weather you confronted, there's a lot of talk from some quarters about technology and / or speed being the solution to avoiding bad weather, yet here is a salutary lesson that on both counts this just isn't so. It is only likely we'll get more extreme weather events in the future too. Sorry if your discomfort is our entertainment, but I love seeing yachts in open ocean sailing conditions, particularly the rogue variety, it's instructive how different boats behave. Keep it up!!
👍
wow
What a testament to the auto-pilot. Handling 44,000 pounds of boat in those conditions, and seemly for long periods. Quite a piece of gear.
