The lack of wind forces us to stay put right now, keeping us in the forest fire smoke. Not ideal

Even if the wind comes back, I wonder, are we going to have to sail with a mask on..

@neauoire maybe even full elastomeric with P100 filters, since an N95 may allow 5% of the PM2.5 particulates through

Anaëlle Overlin

@neauoire oh no. I hope it will change soon (still sad about those fires :sigh: ) and you'll be back to doing that other cool stuff

@neauoire do you have some way to clean your air below deck?

Devil Lu Linvega

@maxc no, we just keep the door shut, but we might have to start thinking about a solution.

@neauoire @maxc corsi-rosenthal boxes should help with cleaning up the air indoors!

typically they're built with a large box fan, but ofc you can also use smaller fans (possibly PC fan arrays) with smaller filters

Max Cahill

@neauoire I'm sure you'll get some suggestions as a result of saying so, haha. Hope you both stay safe and well 🙏

@maxc cheers, it looks like we'll sail down with N95 masks on, that'll be a first for us.

@neauoire plus side from experience, it at least gives you a socially acceptable reason to wear a cool looking gas mask in public.
