With the help of JAMES SCOTT, member of the False Bay Yacht Club, we were able to get all of our media uploaded while we were in Simon's Town. Many thanks to you James.

Below is a video of our launch at the South African Navy Dockyard at the end of March 2012.

Transequatorial 2011

The following is our "home video" footage from our last passage with the family - Cape Verdes to Cape Town, South Africa. Making this video made us homesick for the sea.

We are ready for the big open wilderness again - Anasazi Girl ready to launch from the South African Navy Dockyard this week.

lorient video

Lorient, France

During our one month stay in Lorient, France, we got a glimpse into the world of syndicate sailing, mini-transat sailing culture, and discovered the cool local scene of industry players embedded into the old World War II submarine base buildings.

We updated our rigging in Lorient, and the Banque Populaire crew let us store our mast in their shed. This video is a tour of the BSM as we moved our mast out of the shed back to the dock.
