what is the draft of your boat. What marina was that in Bimini as the water there I thought was very shallow

thanks

that boat was in southshore harbor for a long time did not know if made it through katrina. glad it did. I always liked that boat

sorry I missed that one. Had two die on me crossing the gulf of mexico from New Orleans. One down one on the way back. Pulled out one that came with the boat, and old Combi unit perhaps 20 years or more old, basic tech for it's day, and it drove the boat better than the Navicos that I had (the...

Dying at 80 at the tiller does not sound nearly as bad as dying at some bloody desk or rotting away in some nursing home broken spirit and all.

I wonder if some pictures are arround of this guy that died and his boat. Hats off to you guys. (as I sit at my desk) I do think he might have spe...

nice video I am your neighbor across the pier from you a few slips up "Sea Time" I have wondered what kind of boat you have. I remember it being slipped on the river a few years back when I was on the river. The hull looks stout.

The point is the recent sails presented a challenge for on wind sailing and off wind can present different challenges. For him it was his outboard taking a beating unexpectedly and he feared a loss overboard and becasuse he had 30 plus winds, not sure he would need it for anything or that it wou...

free places to drop the hook are getting harder and harder to find

look forward to video of the inside of the boat. I followed the adventure of this boat for a while

i am interested in the brand of watermaker you have on such a small boat. Is is 12 volt?

so what is the plan for you guys

I see you were able to stop the creaking with dishsoap. You might check it when you make landfall as I am sure you know that movement may not be terrible but not sure it should move at all and putting a tab on the bulkhead to the hull might be in order. Had a similar problem on my old westsail 3...

like the videos. This one does not say where the crusing grounds are. Seems a bit shallow water but also nice reef. Where might this be

good luck keep posting.

by the way got my solar panel put in and it works well

still have not put the other 125 volt up yet

like it. wish it were a bit smaller ie the kite I like the idea and have seen video of others

wonder where one might buy one

good luck

great video and great boat. I do have one question. what were the wind speeds

thanks

gosh do not know the fellow but at least he got off and away from shore unlike many. Give him a break.

well it seems I answered my own question given the date on this video. Glad you trip to Bermuda did not dampen your spirit. It seems you got the windvane working. I am socked that the wheel autopilot worked as well as it dod on the way to Bermuda. I have a direct drive unit below, and tryin...

very interesting. How did the story end. Was there much damage to your boat

Good video. I single hand as well and at best sail short handed. I have a 46 foot boat. My neighbor has a westsail 42 and I use to own a westsail 32.

Look forward to seeing part 7

very well done. ignore the negative comments, and just go and live. Wise for such a young woman are. You will look back on this time later in life as a time when you made a decision few have or can and for at least a while had a simple life

go for it.

very nice set up for solar panels. I have two 125 watt panels to install. I have I have a stern arch (for lack of a better word) made up of 3 inch stainless poles port and starbord with a 2 1/2 inch stainless cross member. The poles are afixed to the deck very well and have a 45 degree deck m...

nice video nice boat. Trying to decide if it is a Hans Christian or Lord Nelson?
