crewing on Eric Forsyth's Westsail 42 'Fiona'

I recently spent 2 weeks crewing aboard Eric Forsyth's Westsail 42 'Fiona', sailing from Ireland to Portugal. Eric built his boat from a bare hull and has completed 2 circumnavigations, one going east, one going west, and has sailed through the Northwest passage in the Arctic and also to South Georgia in the Antarctic. It was the most wonderful sailing, and a great opportunity for me to learn from this amazing 79 year old sailor, and to see his incredibly proven offshore sailing boat. I made videos of the trip and posted them to www.youtube.com/drakeParagon for your enjoyment and would love to hear what anyone thinks of them, especially if you have ideas on how I can improve on this kind of video for the next series which I'm editing now.. Thanks,
