Installing our SILENTWIND PRO and CROSSING BISCAY Preparation - EP 05 - Sailing Beaver
Sailing Beaver
Our story started as we bought our first sailboat in Norway, the chapters that followed was a series of steep learning curves, a great deal of foul language, some matter of fact lessons learnt all in a rather challenging degree of latitude being 59 north on the West coast of Norway. That being said, the early challenges have now evolved into a passion for offshore sailing and its unique lifestyle which has allowed us to experience and share the places that takes us with all the ups and downs associated. Although we are pretty new to the video production and YouTube in general, our focus is to have a realistic approach to all sides of sailing by sharing our offshore sailing experiences and the journey through our lens.

A short film of installing our new Silentwind Pro before departing across Bay of Biscay. Up until this point we have had little in the way of power generation onboard, so before crossing Biscay we thought it necessary to have some solar and wind power to allow more use of the Autopilot and charge up the batteries. Enjoy!
A couple from Australia and Norway who set sails from Stavanger, Norway on a Beneteau Oceanis 40 in late 2018 to explore the world by sailboat. (Yup, another sailing couple doing the standard route and documenting it on film.)
