“When the ship outruns the wind” (video)

The Ship’s Log: 17 Mar. 2025

Captain Giannis Kougioumtzoglou, a friend of the show “Fair Winds and Following Seas” on Voice of Greece and the Ship’s Log column, shared this video from his personal archive.

It was October, with westerly winds raging at 9 Beaufort.
Our destination was Australia to Prai Mole, Brazil—yet the vessel stood still!

This is the case when sailors say ‘the ship is planing’! “

And Captain Giannis notes in his message:
Respect and love for the sea!”

Captain, we thank you deeply. May you have “Fair Winds and Following Seas” ahead!
