A New Voyage Round The World – Book Review
TheSailingChannel.TV uses historic images and classical music to bring to life its review of A New Voyage Round The World by William Dampier. First published in 1697, a new edition from 1500 Books makes this little known classic available to the modern reader. Providing the inspiration for such works as Robinson Crusoe and Gulliver’s Travels, William Dampier (1652 – 1715) was the forefather of the English narrative. Pirate, explorer and naturalist, Dampier provides one of the earliest and most eloquent accounts of discovery and piracy on the high seas with keen observations of people, places, and nature. Dampier circled the globe three times, wrote of the wildlife and flora of the Galapagos 150 years before Darwin, visited Australia close to 80 years before Cook, and his innovations in navigational technology were studied by Cook and Nelson. Filled with accounts of privateering exploits as well as the first detailed descriptions of plants and animals ever recorded by an Englishmen, A New Voyage Round the World provides a rare and exciting glimpse into life on the ocean at a time when a true map of the world did not yet exist. Features an introduction by Kris Lane, College of William and Mary.

Sen. Kennedy Warms Up for the Figawi
(NECN: Hyannisport, Mass.) – It was a day at the shore designed to send a message. Ted Kennedy has no plans to slow down. Senator Kennedy and his wife, Vicki, went sailing Wednesday afternoon, just one day after it was announced that he has a brain tumor. On a picture perfect day for a sail, Kennedy took his Portugese water dogs for a swim, and then climbed aboard for a sail aboard his boat ‘Mya’. After the sail, Kennedy summed up his health with a one word answer. “Good.” He’s told family members he’s planning to race this weekend in the Figawi, an annual regatta between Hyannis and Nantucket. TheSailingChannel.TV thanks New England Cable Network (NECN.com) for sharing this story.

Cruising with Bettie Trailer: L.A. to the Bahamas
TheSailingChannel presents a slice of the cruising lifestyle. Have you ever dreamt of “sailing off into the sunset?” Then join Bob and Kaye aboard their 36 foot sloop, “Bettie” as they cruise from Los Angeles to the Bahamas via the Panama Canal on the first leg of their sailing adventure “Bettie” is based on a Cascade 36 hull. It was custom molded for Bob by Yacht Constructors in Portland Oregon back in 1978. Four years and lots and lots of man hours later Bob splashed her. “Bettie” has a raised freeboard that allows for a flush deck design. This is a fast-paced documentary, with gorgeous photography, that will give you a first hand look at the cruising lifestyle. Over 10,000 miles have passed under Bettie s keel since Bob and Kaye left Los Angeles in 2004. They sailed down the west coast to Panama, through the Canal, east to Cartagena, Columbia then north to Honduras and east across the Caribbean to the Bahamas. That’s the focus of this video. Next, Bob and Kaye cruised north along the eastern U.S. seaboard to Boston. The geese were flying south by October beckoning them back to warmer climes, so they headed south to Guatemala and Honduras. After refitting and some time back in L.A., Bob and Kaye sailed back across the Caribbean to the Florida Keys. TheSailingChannel is partnering with Bob and Kaye to produce a continuing series of cruising documentaries as we follow “Bettie” to the far corners of the world.
