A LLS CANCER FUNDRAISER SAILING AROUND THE WORLD!
SV SKY is setting sail for the 2019 World Arc sailing expedition in order to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. On Saturday, January 12, 2019, a fleet of sailboats from many nations will leave Saint Lucia and sail the 9th World Arc, which ends Saturday, April 11, 2020.
Jopie Helsen, who is the captain, is a cancer survivor. He was born in the Netherlands and grew up in Warmond, on the Kaag lakes. He is a 2nd generation boat builder and yacht designer and has been in the marine industry for 55 years. Heidi Trilsch grew up sailing and has years of cruising experience, her stepmother is a lymphoma survivor.
Both have been involved in charities and have decided to combine these two interests into a high-seas adventure dedicated to raising awareness and money for cancer research. Their hope is that thousands will follow SV SKY on Facebook, their website, and donate to the cause!

SVSKY57 - Fakarava South Pass
zhlédnutí 133Před 3 lety
If you are scuba diving the south pass you start on the ocean side of the channel and drift into the lagoon. We found that when snorkeling it was best to start just inside the lagoon and drift into the lagoon where the water was much shallower.

zhlédnutí 732Před 3 lety
After making our way to the south pass on Fakarava we searched out a place that is known for it's wood fired or brick oven pizza. We were told to look for the building with the red roof which wasn't difficult to find because there aren't many people living along the south pass and there seemed to be only one structure with a red roof. Motu Aito Paradise is run by Mahini and Tila Salmon and we w...

The Tohua Koueva archaeological site is the largest of several on Nuku Hiva. The ancient people who inhabited the Marquesas believed that rocks grew just like all living things and there was a lot of spirituality associated with papa or rocks. The archaeological site was shot with MavicPro drone and the performance was shot with an IPhone 7.

zhlédnutí 294Před 4 lety
A short video essay of our trip to a waterfall on Fatu-Hiva. It had been fairly dry so not much water was flowing. We had thought about taking a dip but then we saw these eel like creatures swimming in the water. That quickly put an end to any thoughts of a cool refreshing dip. Music by Paul Micich and Mitch Espe

SKY 360 - Gatun Lock
zhlédnutí 118Před 4 lety
A virtual experience and an attempt to explain how a small boat locks through the Panama Canal as part of the World ARC. Read on for an attempt to better explain the process. In 2019 the large number of boats that were part in the World ARC necessitated that the fleet be divided in half with the two groups locking through several days apart. In most cases three boats were rafted or tied togethe...
SKY 360 - Embera Village
zhlédnutí 167Před 4 lety
While at Shelter Bay in Colon, Panama we took a tour of an Embera village. The tour involved an hour long bus ride followed by a forty-five minute canoe trip up the Chagres River which feeds the Panama Canal. Sitting behind me in the canoe is Todd and Christa who had made a generous contribution to the Lymphoma and Leukemia Society and were with us on SKY to transit the Panama Canal. Shot with ...
SVSKY57 - First look at the San Blas Islands of Panama
zhlédnutí 55Před 4 lety
Pulling into any archipelago after the sunset can put a person on edge but with no moon, no lights from shore and information that you shouldn't trust your electronic charts we all were all feeling a little more nervous than usual. After setting the anchor we all went to bed to get a little sleep. The next morning I got up and after running a comb through my hair went topside to see where we ha...

zhlédnutí 297Před 4 lety
Santa Marta, Colombia was the second stop on the tour with St. Lucia, our starting point, being the first. In Santa Marta everyone would come out at night and the streets would be full of people. This video is of DJ and I strolling down one of the pedestrian malls. Since it was shot with the Garmin Virb 360 you will have the opportunity to determine what you want to look at. Halfway into the vi...
