Velvet Elvis 2024 Big Trip, Series 2

The worst part of any trip we take is passing Mobile at night. And somehow, we alsways end up passing at night.

Unedited clips from my library pieced together.

Partying on board, dancing at Foxy's, and jumping from Willie T's. And about 10 seconds of a late-week snorkel.

Annika did finally work up the nerve to jump, but I couldn't find the video evidence.

Our first Night Watch video since the crossing. Just a quick update followed by a minute of sailing footage from a couple of days ago when we were moving with speed through a wavy ocean.

Most of the time, I can rearrange work stuff to do the island field trips with the family. Sometimes I caan't. I didn't get to go see the volcano ruins in Montserrat, so V did a little video for me.

I think this should be my last night watch. Thanks to everyone for all of your comments and feedback. There's been more than one night where that was the motivation to create another video. No plans to post tomorrow, but we'll have more online throughout the summer.

No news, but that's good news. 230 miles to go. Talk about the daily routine. I forgot to mention the kids much, but they just sleep all day.

About 350 miles to landfall. A look at how we watch tv in the cockpit, and a look at a couple more of the screens at the chart table.

The sailing is fine. Our special feature is the grand finale for the boat systems nerds.

Just over 600 miles to go. I talk about the state of our pantry and show you our dinghy garage. Nice win by LSU Baseball tonight! That's a good way to pass 3 hours of night watch.

Still moving along. Bigger waves, and a little rolling. Let's see what else is on that big panel.

A long one tonight. In addition to the regular update, we have a quick fish story, a tour of our switch panel (nerd alert), and 30 seconds of zen.
