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

The view from across Sturt Bay, thick smoke makes the other shore almost invisible.

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?

Devine Lu Linvega

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

James Widman

@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 🙏

Devine Lu Linvega

@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.
