Souffle, Cal 34
Well well well, the Cruising Class is officially on the board. There are a few things that make us look forward to each year's race. Phil Lewis' Cal 34, Souffle, is one of them. Rarely do you find a boat with a well stocked bar and library on board racing up the coast of Washington. They may not get to Victoria first, but they'll get there in style.
Never a dull moment offshore, ended up in the right place to witness a man overboard drill today. Pretty amazing how quickly the standby vessel reacted and the rescue was done, it's taken me longer to edit these photos!

Rotterdam, February 23 2016
Today the Brave Tern, a vessel used for the installation of wind turbines at sea, dominated the Rotterdam skyline. The 132 meter long ship was jacked up to a height of about seventy meters to test its extended legs.
The Brave Tern is owned by Norwegian Fred. Olsen Windcarrier. The vessel has four so called jacking legs with which she can position herself firmly on the seabed. The four legs of the Brave Tern are extended with fourteen meter each up to 92,4 meters during recent weeks in Rotterdam.
The upgrading of the jacking legs of the Brave Tern is executed by Franklin Offshore Europe in Rotterdam in close co‐operation with SRC from Estonia. Today in Rotterdam the extended legs are tested by jacking up the Brave Tern.
Also the frame and the boom of the ship’s crane are extended, in total with twenty meters. The crane is now capable to lift up to 120 meter above the deck of the Brave Tern.
The modifications of the 2012 build Brave Tern are necessary because wind turbines become more heavy and the blades of the rotor blades becomes larger. Also wind farm are installed in deep water more often. Sister vessel Bold Tern will get the same upgrade later this year.
The Brave Tern is now capable of carrying four complete ‘multi megawatt’ turbines, including towers and rotor blades. The vessel can operate in water depths up to sixty meters.
The Brave Tern will first do a maintenance job at the North Sea, before heading to the US east coast where it will assist in the construction of the first US offshore wind farm.
Franklin Offshore Europe in Rotterdam is a world leading service provider for the offshore industry. The company is part of Singapore headquartered Franklin Offshore with offices in Australia, Indonesia, South Korea, Azerbaijan, Qatar and the USA.
In this video, it shows dry, offshore winds battering my new rock garden out front this afternoon. Plants here consists of 3 queen palms and a few cordylines and a sago palm at the end of the driveway. My poor plants... Well, wind does make trees and plants stronger to a certain extent right? It's also a good thing I installed tree straps to the palms for extra stability and support. Footage taken from my place in San Jose, CA. (Sunday afternoon, November 3, 2024)
*Did you know? Exposure to wind can encourage plants to develop stronger stems and root systems. This is a phenomenon known as thigmomorphogenesis, where mechanical stimulation promotes growth changes that enhance structural integrity. Wind also helps improve air circulation around plants, reducing humidity and the risk of fungal diseases. Good airflow can certainly also help with the drying of wet foliage, further minimizing disease risk. By promoting the establishment of various plant species in different locations, wind contributes to greater biodiversity in ecosystems.
