Re: using duct tape as water diverter. What a pain! But I find duck tape leaves messy residue . I have been using some expensive ‘yellow’ almost plastic masking tape made for long term outside usage. I have had some in our shower in direct water spray for many months covering a cleaned joint . It worked great and left no residue sand was even reusable in a different location. If you can find some it’s worth it !!!! I think it was $10/roll? Cheers Warren

Apparently it’s a thing: autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR)- a feeling of well-being combined with a tingling sensation in the scalp and down the back of the neck, as experienced by some people in response to a specific gentle stimulus "ASMR is triggered by things like whispering voices, paper tearing, and scalp massage"

No, it’s completely damaged. They hope to reopen the island for the next season, so a year from now.

In 2005, we were anchored in this area in front of petite Martinique. For the first time since owning our 47 cat, i was lazy and did not raise the dingy on the Davits for the night. Wouldn’t you know it, at midnight, I heard my engine start since the thief was also lazy like me. I got out and went on the roof and started yelling as loud as i could…GIVE ME BACK MY DINGY…over and over (while completely naked I might add) with a high powered spot light shinning on him. We only had a 5 hp engine so he did not go fast. During this time, i woke up the whole island and the mayor which is the firefighter which is the police came on the beach and launched a flair. That seems to have scared the thief and he abandoned my dingy. Soon after, the police brought the dingy back and that was that. The next day, we went ashore and met the police who told me that he knew who it was and that he had a chat with him so he would not do it again. Ok. Some of the ladies in town also made fun of me as they asked me if I was the white guy last night screaming like a mad man. My wife and I got a good laugh 😂

Thanks for sharing your viewpoint Stephane. And for Holly, thanks so much for all your efforts to share your lives on board with those of us who are land bound. It's difficult to adequately express how much I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the feedback. We don’t claim to be rockstar entertainers, we are just normal people on a boat and we aren’t trying to impress anyone honestly. And the reality is that most days on a boat can be a lot of pretty average stuff, which I’ll take after the season we had last year getting a new boat, with an Atlantic crossing, system issues, water ingress, getting tboned, racing to beat deadlines at 22 knots boat speed, getting stuck in DR, beating upwind for 2,000 miles from Bahamas to BVIs and then running from a hurricane. Not every day needs to be Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. :-)

It’s a shame you don’t have more subscribers yet. Love your content. Btw. If one decides to fly a drone over water one knows it’ll ditch. It’s not the matter of „if“ , rather „when“.

Hi guys, very glad to see you sailing again. I am curious how dis you fix the ac unit on the door? How did it get the electricity from outside with all door closed and how dis it discharge outside? We are looking for a feasible solution for our catamaran. Thank you very much, your experience will be very useful. We love you channel and the videos are inspiring. All the best, Elli
@SailingAWEN Ай бұрын
This was a fixed solution where he built a wall out of some kind of waterproof board with the slider on one side open. On the board he fixed a little ledge that mounted the unit that discharged outside in the cockpit. Then the door could lock in place against the new ‘wall’. So it was secure. Hope this helps.

Welcome back, I'm very happy to see you again sailing! Actually, by coincidence, I'm considering to buy the same rope cutter you installed. The 695 version of the Shaft Shark (since I have Flexofold too). AB marine advised size 93 mm. Is it the same you purchased? It would great for me to know, thank you. By the way, next winter we plan to cross the Atlantic from Europe with our Itacatamaran. We would be so happy and lucky to cross path with you guys. You are an inspiring example. Best,Daniele from Italy
@SailingAWEN Ай бұрын
Thank you Daniele! Yes, the same but the diameter must have been slightly less than 93mm as I couldn't get a good clamp. The two halves were touching each other after assembly and you want a 0.5 mm gap. In the end I had to get 0.8 mm removed from each half to get a satisfactory clamp. Try to get an actual measurement of the diameter before ordering the Shaft Shark. Next winter we might be cruising west of the Caribbean, maybe San Blas, and cross the Pacific but plans change all the time. Hope to share an anchorage one day!
@edenjsailadventures9408 Ай бұрын
@@SailingAWEN Thank you very much Sthépane for your quick and kind answer, very helpful, we will certainly do as you suggest. I also saw that you have chosen not to apply anything on the blades and I wish to comfort you by saying that we did this for the last 3 years without major issues; since you move often as we do (almost everyday) this was ok for us: very limited and not disturbing growth. We do not charter any more and my wife and myself just enjoy sailing, therefore we have free schedule (a part my investment banking job in smart working mode...😪). We also plan to sail to the Pacific in maybe two years, therefore we might also hopefully cross paths there one day, who nows. Be very careful in the Panama area, as pirate /crime statistics so suggest; while it appears that the San Blas are calm again after an accident in 2019; but I'm sure that you are already informed about this, as you do with all the rest. Thanks again and best regards, Daniele

What kind of chain hook are you using for the bridle? Do you like it? Have you tried using a soft shackle and if so what do you think of the pros/cons?
@SailingAWEN Ай бұрын
Kong Chain Gripper, it was delivered with the boat. So far so good. We have used a soft shackle in the past but you have to feed it through a 10mm chain link so it's not the easiest. I want to switch back to the Mantus snubber pendant. We had this on our first boat and liked it a lot. Easy to install and remove, and you can use it on the rope when you need a lot more chain. I bought one pre-delivery but cannot find it anywhere on the boat. I know the day I'm going to buy another one I'll find the missing one :-)

As a sailor for decades...we lost our keys a few times, and one time not so lucky that anything wanted to open, we slept outside in toxedo and gala dress, Not the best experience in 37 degrees C. Next morning I was lucky to remember that I kept a key in my office, and we got that send to us. Meanwhile staying in a hotel as we could not get in. It proofed the boat was well protected. After that we created a secret spot, waterproof and invisible for others, not going to say here. But it happened again we just opened the key safe and opened the boat.

We have a ‘see something, say something’ culture on our boat so it’s encouraged for crew to ask questions. Communication is critical. As for trust, it takes pretty epic level of trust to quit your job, purge 90% of your belongings, leave your family, spend a zillion dollars on a boat and cross oceans with someone don’t you think? 😎👍🏻

Been following you from the beginning. Great to see you back on the water. I will be in Grenada/SV&G on our FP Astréa 42 ‘Aquarelle’ Dec. 7-16. Are Customs & Immigration offices operating in Tyrell Bay and Union Island? Would be fun to cross paths if you’re still in the area then. Fair winds!

We will be in the Grenadines until at least Christmas so there is a very good chance we could cross path. Keep an eye on NoForeignLand and SeaPeople for our location. Yes, Customs & Immigration offices are operating both at Tyrell Bay (checking out tomorrow) and Union Island (per our friends).
