I just enjoy sitting and watching the sea.

It feels almost like, you know, when you're watching the, sitting at the fireplace and watching

the fire, for me it's like that.

Like, you can just sit and watch it for so long.

It's just, it has its own, I don't know what it is, but it's something there.

I can just sit and watch it and rest.

This season of On the Wind is presented by Orca, navigation for the modern boater.

You've probably heard me praising the installation and setup of the Orca core and display.

But now I recently had the chance to actually put them to the test on a trip I did with

East Beyond along the Norwegian coast.

It turned out to be the perfect test. We had everything. Sunshine, heavy rain, night sailing, cold,

warm temperatures and plenty of time, threading through fjords and archipelago filled was filled with rocks and scurries, exactly the kind

of sailing where you need your chart up at all times, and the orca delivered beautifully.

I was really excited by the physical buttons that the orchid display has, which makes it easy

to use the display when the screen gets wet or

when you have gloves on. But what really surprised me was that the touchscreen still works

when it's wet. It's nuts. You can still zoom and scroll around on the chart, even when the

display is just covered in water.

It's not flawless, but as long as your fingers aren't completely frozen, it works really well.

And the difference between this display and an iPad in that regard is just night and day.

The whole setup worked so well that I decided to skip installing a fixed

truck plotter in ESPN's cockpit as planned and instead rely entirely on the ORCA system.
