| 0:00.0 | My name is Angel Collinson. I like to wreck shit and I had diesel for breakfast. |
| 0:08.3 | Hey gang, welcome back to the podcast. I'm your host, Andy Schell. I am sitting on the |
| 0:14.2 | four deck of Ice Bear on Anchor in Playa Blanco on the south coast of Lanzarotti. |
| 0:22.4 | We are getting ready to sail towards Horta tomorrow. |
| 0:26.5 | It's about a thousand miles west, northwest of here. |
| 0:31.4 | Very uncertain weather forecast. |
| 0:33.6 | I just did a chat with Jeremy Davis from WRI to talk about, yeah, what the weather is going to be like the next couple days. |
| 0:41.0 | The different models diverged dramatically after about three days. |
| 0:44.7 | So we may have some heavy weather getting into the Azores and we may not. |
| 0:48.4 | It depends on what happens as we get underway. |
| 0:51.6 | That's going to be, well, we'll be at sea when you listen to this because |
| 0:55.2 | this is going to come out on a Tuesday and it's Sunday as I record this. Lots of cool stuff going on |
| 1:00.6 | on the quarter deck. If you haven't heard yet, we bought a new boat. I haven't announced publicly |
| 1:05.1 | what it is yet, but some people have guessed it. And we're going to be announcing that first to |
| 1:09.6 | quarterdeck members and also documenting |
| 1:11.8 | the entire refit of the new boat on the quarterdeck. So if you are a member, go check that out. |
| 1:17.5 | If you're not, go to quarterdeck.59-north.com and check it out there. I'm going to be at sea |
| 1:24.6 | for the next week so you can follow us right on the homepage and track our progress. I have a new mate on board, Vilma from Finland. She raised against us in Gotland Runt earlier this summer on a different boat. I met her there. She had originally signed up to do the OGR with us. And since we dropped out of that, I said, well, why don't you come work with us instead? |
| 1:44.9 | So getting to know her, she's been awesome so far, cooked us a nice taco dinner tonight. |
| 1:51.1 | And I'll be at sea for the next month before I go home to Sweden for quite a long time. |
| 1:57.1 | So we'll be doing a lot more stuff on the quarterdeck when I get home from mission control. I don't think I have anything else to report at this point. I'm very happy to be back |
| 2:06.8 | on the boat and looking forward to a proper deep ocean passage out to the Azores and back. |
