Windseeking on Nova Scotia

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Round the worlder Dave McPhee explains the struggle to find the wind to allow them to sail faster and reflects on what he misses about home in Canada.

Tell Dave I can send you a picture of a Moose if he needs to see one, but they are very good at hiding themselves very cautious when you eventually come up on one!! Great Video!! Very informative.
Cheers

Good luck in the race, you are all doing Nova Scotia proud. I am astonished that there seems to be little or no press coverage here in N.S. of the race. I only found out about it via the NSYA web site. I’m always astonished that Canada has some of the best sailers in the world but get very little attention here.Anyway I’ll be following your progress. Good luck.

Look, out Dave - I have sighted a moose in the near distance.  Better keep someone up in the crows nest to stay watch… The moose is probably trying to catch flying fish too…
Good luck to you all.

We missed the moose but ate turkey & ham in your honour mooseman. Mom & dad and Aunt Janet & the Creekers say a big hello-kisses Rickyboy. We are all in awe of what you are doing and only hope you are warm & full; truly cannot beleive you are “out there”. Luv Ya

Way to go Dave!  We’re following you closely and we’re very excited and proud of you!  Went out on Red Heather for Thanksgiving in a gale, lots of excitement on ol’ Howe Sound.  Keep up the good work!  The entire crew is following your exploits and so is the Yacht Club!

Great video Dave....Nothing like a little Moosehead to take you across the Atlantic.  Good luck to all of you.  You’re doing so well....Hats off to your weather router.  He/She/They really know how to read those GRIB files. Keep driving fast and best of luck in the upcoming Doldrums.
