How Long Can Chlamydia Stay

Yves Parlier. "ALIEN"

Any sailor to cross the ocean or sailing around the world is impressive, especially if you do solo but between est @ s always exploits immortalized them as myths of navigation.
An example is the French navigator Yves Parlier, a more water than land, hence its nickname "The Extraterrestrial."
nautical Your resume is great, but it was his participation in the edition 2000 - 2001 from around the world solo no stops and no assistance, the Vendée Globe, which endorsed it as a myth, returning home as an ancient hero, crippled and starving, but with the conviction that defeated destination.
had participated in the 1992 edition, which broke the stick right out, returned to port and sail back to almost three weeks late. In the 1996 edition had to leave to hit a "growler" in the South Seas. In 1997 he won the Transat Jacques Vabre double next to the now legendary Eric Tabarly (this and 66 years), first and last time I sailed on a IMOCA Tabarly 60. On December 18, 2000, in the Vendee Globe, Yves Parlier aboard their 60 foot 'Aquitaine Innovations' led the fleet of 24 boats for the South Pacific when he broke the mast of 25 meters high made of carbon. One of the most isolated land on the planet, with waves over 15 meters and winds of 50 to 60 knots, drifting ice and freezing temperatures, where even the mildest kind lose your cool. Parlier, no. " I'm fine. not need help, "said the skipper radioed to Philippe Jeantot, organizer of the Vendee Globe. Engineer
composites, Parlier managed to recover a few pieces of stick of carbon, came aboard and began to ruminate a solution. Among
mariners, Parlier is also known as "Mac Gyver", you know, that guy on TV who improvised a hang glider with a coat hanger and a packet of Kleenex. On this occasion Parlier would do honor to the nickname, being implemented every sailor's maxim that claims to be able to solve any problem by yourself, without assistance, with the means available on board.
With a provisional fortune rig consisting of a piece of wood to hoist the mainsail with four locks and storm jib, sailed to Stewart Island, south of New Zealand, sailing at 7 knots, far from the planned to 30 knots of the previous days, the ship arrived battered and depleted Bay North Arm, on 8 January. A protected cove with a sandy bottom where they dropped anchor, but anchor might move and the boat ran aground. Parlier built a small dinghy with two plastic drawers lashing the fuel tanks (race rules allow any arrangement that does not always accept foreign aid or landing on land beyond the high tide line) and wearing his survival suit, anchored the other anchor, he started to land some ropes and winches succeeded in helping to refloat the boat and started work to repair the rig with the intention to continue racing. Serra and polished fragments, designed a carbon fiber clamp for joining two pieces of wood and resin prepared that would stiffen the joint. gathered the fragments in a plastic, heat was applied five bulbs and their camping cooking gas and got a new suit of 18 meters high, placed on the help of the boom town in the guise leverage, and its outriggers, a job that usually requires a crane. did several tests. The invention worked! The boat sailed well and fast. With the boat seaworthy again returned to the race one month after the accident. Of course, no camping gas to prepare freeze-dried food. And worst, as the days passed, we were becoming less food. Weight limitations on these racing yachts are so stringent that they embark rations are designed to detail. Just for 115 days of racing, 10% longer employed by Christophe Auguin, the winner of the previous 105 days.
" I eat like a baby " Parlier would joke soon after. Reduced his diet to 800 calories a day (very little, taking into account the wear is a ship manning and solo). Requested permission to open Jeantot the liferaft and survival rations drawn, hooks and nylon line. Ran off a troll in the stern, but the fish rarely come to a lure that moves more than 10 knots.
Rounding Cape Horn, the situation was dramatic. Parlier had ended up with chocolate (with what you like!) And began to feel the bite of hunger. Tablets savored the last of their rations for survival and re-launch their ingenuity. With a bag of candles prepared to bow to catch wit 'krill' which shipped with the spray. And every morning, walked forward to the boat to collect the tiny flying fish that jumped on the roof. He also began to collect algae and hanging on the lifelines to eat them once dry.
Meanwhile, aware of their hardships, their fans and supporters began to bringing the Internet for cooking recipes. Oriental cuisine, Thai cooking recipes with sea water the fruits of their harvest. "I keep a regime drastically. Fish and algae. Algae and fish, "smiled the Gallic ocean.
"Dr. Chauve tells me that the algae are good, which contain calcium, potassium, protein and vitamin B12, which are rich in iodine. But I warn Parlier -informed on one occasion that if I large quantities, can cause disruption in the thyroid gland '.
Hungry, lonely and ailing as a result of a paragliding accident that miraculously survived and he broke a leg, Parlier-esteem grew, day by day, in the eyes of the world. Marine had made him reach the position of banks in the Atlantic Dorados you caught, slowing their march. " I've got a fine specimen of four kilos! I made steaks and I made the shrouds to dry ... Now I'm going to make a skin-breeches and a wig of golden algae. And, if I find a good sponsor will organize stays for obese people in the boat. With guaranteed results. I have a fixation these days -stated in a radio link- going to remove the word my dictionary algae. "

Finally, the ocean off the charts, arrived in Les Sables d'Olonne on board his boat blue as a new Ulysses, gaunt and hungry, he hugged and kissed her neck that had stood perfectly dwindled all the way home, with conviction of the heroes who defeated the destination. It mattered little that it took a month longer than the winner Desjoyeaux. From that moment the name of Yves Parlier remain sewn in memory of the sailors as a true "alien."

IMOCA OPEN 60 WHAT GEAR IS MORE RELIABLE? REPAIRS

After the last break of the wing mast "Foncia" of Desjoyeaux BWR Gabart this becomes a question what type of gear is better in open IMOCA 60. Only a few days ago there was the withdrawal of "President" of Jean Le Cam and Bruno Garcia for broken mast, but this was a different mixed gear. 's the "Foncia" was a break much like he had the "Veolia" Roland Jourdain in the last edition of the Vendee Globe, also with a rotating wing mast, which the sail with a reef in the wholesale and nail the bow wave was breaking the top of the mast, under conditions not too strong, 25-30 knot winds and 3-4 m wave. However, traditional gear, a priori more reliable, also broken, as the "Gitana Eighty" of Loïck Peyron that dismasted in the 2008 edition of the Vendee Globe, also sailing solent and over with a curl of 30 knots. Basically
IMOCA open 60 trees three types of gear:
# Neck rotary wing profile without spreaders and outriggers, like the Foncia, Veolia or PRB (to give three examples of this type of apparatus that have been broken) .
This type of profile allows better aerodynamic performance, particularly downwind, with less weight of the rigging, but also more fragile. # Neck Joint, also rotating with semi wing profile (narrower than the wing profile), with a flat hinged spreaders and diamond. Heavier gear, but it may break, as was the case of "President" in the BWR. # Standard mast, fixed with 2, 3 or 4 double spreaders. Theoretically more reliable but less aerodynamic performance in bearing. However, it also can break, as in the case of "Gitana Eighty."
So I think that the problem of these vessels is the excess power, as it relates sail area / displacement, aided by the canting keel, which makes to take more sail and reach very high speeds, but when they sink their bows into a wave that efforts are under the rigging is brutal. Boats also too extreme for extreme conditions.
In this edition of the Barcelona World Race and go two removed from broken mast, and have not yet begun the toughest conditions in the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific ...

In any case, the rupture mast is a very common injury in this class, also due to the harsh conditions.
Gone are feats like the "alien" Yves Parlier in the Vendee Globe 2000-2001 broke the club's carbon IMOCA 60, repaired without foreign assistance and continued the race.

ESTRELLA DAMM

While Estrella Damm still maintains the top position in the Barcelona World Race along the South Atlantic, the friend and teammate Alex Pep take advantage of good conditions in the St. Helena anticyclone to repair the high perch of his vane and make the final check of the rig before going into the conditions of the Deep South and do roof repairs, preparing the boat for the "rock and roll."

Scanjet 7400c Xp Problem

FREE-DOME-TOWN ICE

Not having nothing to say
but having too much.
mouth, head, eyes, guts.
all together in a feeble fist
of phrases that do not arrive on time.
whole body stiff and head
a constant leak in the roof.
not know exactly where or how or when.
hugs hands but not see, but lips and mouths.
And every look a reason to apologize,
not stop in time, for, as they say,
not see the forest but a tree. And while glancing
by far sideways and singing
'freedom' was never so bitter dessert.

A LITTLE CRUISING

A weekend of good wind has allowed a new class of sailing chainplates he enjoyed the intense sensations of wind sailing aboard the "chainplates One." Quite a refreshing balm for body and mind physically based, wind and salt.
The weather forecast announced on Friday a good south wind, raging little by little until Sunday, with a growing swell to 3 or 4 meters.
On Friday afternoon he was making contact with the ship, on a day overcast with about 15 knots wind, ideal for first touch data and concepts on the principles of sailing, drawing up late at night.
On Saturday we enjoyed a splendid day, with an average of about 20 knots of wind, which encouraged us to leave the river and allowed us to live a good feeling on board at sea, sailing with all the greater, staysail and genoa. At noon we returned to the protection of the river looking for a quiet anchorage for lunch, after passing between a polygon mussel, making the move in full sail and after a nice but short break we weighed anchor to continue browsing.
Slow but steady wind continued raging, which led to the rupture of an old genoa on a streak. The good news is that gave the crew time to respond to an unforeseen conditions not too comfortable.
The orange alert announced meteo swell for Sunday. With overcast skies and cool wind around 25 knots and gusts of 28 could not suppress the temptation to leave the river to look for something more exciting conditions, with a curl in the largest and staysail arrived at 12 knots.


Satisfied, at noon we returned to the port of Sada to eat, since one of the crew was to return to Barcelona. During lunch on board one of the crew entertained us with some card tricks or Tamariz very own Anton the Magician, while outside the wind was still raging, but the crew morale was high and went back out to sea to take advantage of recent boards. The afternoon was closing again, with imminent showers not reached us yet to achieve full, leaving arriving back to port without getting wet and we could just do all the maneuvering ship berthing and arranchado before finally, by night, entered the announced head of showers.
passed yet another good weekend of practice and safe sailing all blessed sleep like that night, tired but happy.
