Channel Title: Sailing Beaver Channel Description: 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.

Another first for us was a very close encounter with a whale that crept up on us one early morning and appeared right alongside our hull. A scary moment for sure! In this first part of our crossing we experience some rough weather conditions with heavy squalls, acceleration zones and a bumpy sea state as we depart Guadeloupe and the Lesser Antilles. Make sure to buckle up and get the popcorn out for this one! To elaborate further on our little whale encounter we have put together an article with a break down of the chain of events that morning including photos, our general thoughts on whale collisions at sea and if there is anything that could have been done to prevent this.

We hang on tight for a wild ride into Panama as we round Columbia and zoom down toward Colon for our planned Panama Canal transit. @ Minute 13:33 to answer some frequent questions we give a general run-through of our @Hydrovane (self steering system) to explain how we use it when sailing offshore, how we adjust the course, balance the sails , the vane settings and also how we lock our helms.
