As we run for cover from a 40-50 knot southerly storm in Crete, we are faced with difficult decisions about where to hide from the storm - in a craggy exposed harbour wall, anchor in the middle of the port or motor out into the bay and take cover behind cliffs to protect from the force of the wind. We discuss our counter intuitive decision as it has important implications for all sailors....
Then come with us as we live through the full day of 35 - 50 knot winds - but live to tell the tale!
We also share the up to date Portofino 52 build progress photos and Rtaffaele Rognoni discusses how he has worked with the air con makers to improve the function and reduce the power consumption so we will be able to save 100kg in weight, $$$ and reduce our lithium bank from 8 to 6 batteries (40-30KW) while still operating our ACs in the whole boat for 10 hours overnight!

Our Patreon option starts from only $3 per week, and will allow our supporters to enjoy live updates, early release and much more! In Dubai Jan 2025 (aboard the new Portofino 52) you would be able to join us for the launching party and test sails!!! We are also offering boat build tours with sailing off Dubai to share the progress of the P52 build and provide whatever sailing or life discussions that YOU want us to provide during all of these events..... It is a very exciting prospect and we have been requested repeatedly to give advice, take folk sailing, teach sailing techniques etc etc.... So here it is!!!
Any Patreons will have the choice to join us for these events which are usually about 5 days to be up close and personal with Eli and John and learn from their expertise... There will be sailing trips, excursions and chats during the events and the subjects will be designed to suit the participants that will be there. Patreons will receive all the sailing and talks with the Barefoot Doctors without any cost but will only have to cover their own travel, food and accomodation costs.
All Patreon proceeds go to Exqisit Life Foundation to support TUFMINDS Mental Resilience and Suicide Prevention Program worldwide.
Some come Barefoot with us on this exciting journey - now physically and in person with Patreon if you wish!!!
Binge watch and come barefoot with us as we travel and explore the planet, mostly from the water but sometimes through the minds of others as we provide aid and support where needed through the amazing TUFMINDS solutions!
WHAT IS TUFMINDS
The free TUFMINDS program is released as a smartphone program under the Exqisit Life Foundation Charity, a registered not for profit and requires financial support to fund the free program. TUFMINDS saves lives by intervening at the point of suicide and pulling everyone to higher levels of mental resilience, wellbeing and functioning. it also creates better attitudes, relationships, resilience and coping - all very important for sailors facing difficult situations at sea.
