    A view from the UK. Igor, i've just finished binge watching all 5 episodes and loved it. I particularly loved your sailing "tutorials" given in an easy to understand way. But i've got to tell you as a non sailor, i always thought sailors were permanently trying to go as fast as they can. Having watched your videos i'm so wrong. You just love to cruise within yours and the boats capacity. Your enthusiasm, skill and experience are so obvious even i would crew for you. Great work, keep 'em coming.
    Don't forget it's brown sauce on your "Full English".

      @@pietrolux I would definitely say yes. Even the the 51 would be suitable and the 65 is much larger. Don't know about its performance as a sailing yacht but see no problem as a blue water yacht for round the world trips. There's enough room for a large family or multiple families. Search for some walk-through videos of the 65, it's crazy how much space is on that model.

    Sargassum is edible, it's harvested to feed livestock too, and you can fry, boil, steam or dry it. It's played a part in Chinese medicine as far back as the 8th century, treating goiters (high iodine content) - and made into tea to control phlegm.

    With the low drag nature, but loaded down, cruising nature of the Neel 51, having that large down wind sail set up would have made life easy and relatively quick. I do wonder about larger sails/mast.

    Wow, great trip. And what a wonderful vessel. That seems a better mouse trap than a Cat! I like it. I have made this-9 kind of passages on my older 44 foot Peterson Cutter. Wow the space and stability are wonderful. We had a 39 foot waterline and plenty of sail so 7-9 kts pretty normal in the trades. The weed is Sargasso weed and most do knot realize that it is edible. Just so you avoid any blue green algae. Raw or cooked. Also often small crabs and fish inside. Love the modern and capable radar. Good for you for practicing celestial. I use to teach it in a planetarium. A great place to learn the concepts. And then practicing with an artificial horizon. Great video and wonderful trip on a wonderful vessel.

    With floating seaweed, it is no good for you. You can only have fresh seaweed if you cut it, like harvesting tomato or any other vegetable. Dead floating seaweed is the product of bad fishing practices. Seaweed is very healthy for you. Unfortunately big fishing is destroying seaweed fields across the world which has a devastating affect on all aquamarine, a bit like mining and cutting rainforests. Changing subject to the boat, i wish you could have free beer!! Cheers!
