Crossed into the Arctic Circle and celebrated with a Blue Nose Ceremony, feeling like true Arctic adventurers now!
A Blue Nose Ceremony is a maritime tradition celebrated when sailors cross the Arctic Circle for the first time. Similar to the “Crossing the Line” ceremony for crossing the Equator, it involves a series of fun and often humorous rituals. These might include face painting (often with blue paint), playful initiations, and other activities designed to commemorate the achievement and build camaraderie among the crew.
The ceremony symbolizes the sailors’ entry into the exclusive club of those who have ventured into Arctic waters. 🌊

Maintaining a sailing vessel involves several key aspects to ensure its longevity, performance, and safety standards.
Including but not limited to:
1. Hull Care: Regular cleaning and inspection of the hull to prevent fouling (growth of algae and barnacles) and damage from debris or collisions.
2. Rigging and Sails: Checking and maintaining rigging (mast, shrouds, stays) and sails for wear, tear, and proper tension. Sail care includes storage in a dry place when not in use to prevent mildew and UV damage.
3. Engine and Systems: Routine checks and servicing of the engine, fuel systems, electrical systems, and plumbing to ensure reliability and safety.
4. Below Deck Maintenance: Keeping the interior dry, clean, and well-ventilated to prevent mold and mildew. Checking through-hull fittings and seacocks regularly.
5. Safety Equipment: Inspecting and updating safety equipment such as life jackets, flares, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits as per regulations.
6. Annual Haul-Outs: Periodically hauling the boat out of the water for inspection, maintenance of the hull and keel, and applying anti-fouling paint.
7. Navigation and Communication: Ensuring that navigation instruments (GPS, compass, charts) and communication devices (VHF radio) are in working order.
8. Environmental Considerations: Using environmentally friendly cleaning products and paints to minimize impact on marine ecosystems.
9. Documentation and Records: Keeping thorough records of maintenance and repairs, which is essential for resale value and ensuring compliance with regulations.
10. Professional Inspections: Periodically engaging professionals for in-depth inspections and servicing of critical systems, especially before long voyages or when the yacht has been idle for extended periods.
We are so grateful to our knowledgeable, hands on, highly skilled crew for the work they contribute to Sea Dragon. We hire and work with the best. Proud to have a 100% safety record and we couldn’t do it without all of our all-stars who work hard to make your adventure sailing experience enjoyable and SAFE! ⛵️
