Is she still for sale?

@@EmmettOconnor-sg7uv I have not seen it offered for sale for sometime. So I don't think so. Ben S/V DAWN

Thanks for letting us know. The sailing world is such a small place. I am glad you found his story and helping keep memories of him alive.

He was a treat to hang around with - always ready to socialise and share a story.

hi Rudi - thanks for checking in. We are well. I just paused the video productions as my own work and health took priority. As much as I love documenting our adventures, it took time away from the adventures to ensure filming and editing. Not sure when or if I will post again. Hopefully the old videos will still provide some sort of entertainment and source if info for those watching.

Thank you Sanet - we did go back and spent almost a year in the area. The West Coast summers are stunning for sure! Enjoy your beautiful area. It is a special place. Nichelle

He was a great guy that lived life the best he could. Condolences to his family and all his friends.

Oh no! What happened to him?

@@thomsonsails2540 Sadly, Fenton passed away approximately 1 year ago, circa 100Nm north of the Marquesas, on his second final leg back to NZ

Ohh, yes, I heard about that story last year. Now that makes it even sadder. Must have been terrible for Kojima.

He seemed like a top bloke! I noticed Pateke for sale about a year ago, do you know if she sold? I'm interested, cheers

hi Charles, we did a video on our costs. Have a look at EP 26 (PS marina fees vary, depending on size of the boat and if you are a member or not. Budget around R4000pm for a 36ft mono) Hope that helps.

It got the best of me.

Thank you. Glad you enjoy!

Thanks Jeff. We mention some of it in videos - but not all in one dedicated to a boat tour. It is a Tosca 36 with a new Nanni 38Hp.

Thanks for checking in..all good. Videos taking a back seat and we take a break from the boat too this winter. On/off on the boat on weekends and so on. Prioritizing a few other things that need attention too. Appreciate the message.

We wanted to buy a new engine, did all the research and tried to match to the maximum size that can fit in the engine room, coupled with output + best pricing and value.

@@SailingPluto I am searching for an engine between 50-60hp... Options are yanmar 4jh57, sole sk60, nanni 4.65, or scam sd 450/459t... I am not sure witch one... Except yanmar all are Kubota based...

Each yacht club have and apply their own rules. Best to check with the yacht clubs directly.

Ah nice - ons sien mekaar gou weer

Ek is keen op n composting opsie. Maar Christo nog nie. Lekker prep aan jou boot. Wat is dit?

@@SailingPluto Dis ń Sadler 32. Ek wou nie groter kry nie want ek seil solo, groot genoeg vir my.

​@@hannescoetzee5113 yes absoluut. Mens kan maklik verval in bigger is better, maar met bote nie altyd die geval nie.

THANKS Gregg, ya we work on the videos inbetween. Thanks for the support 👍👍👍👍

Hey Chris. Mussels are much easier to catch 😆😁

Cant even. And being the first few to navigate not knowing what is underneath. True exploring

Thanks Gerhard 👍

😁

Thank you - Toscas are great boats that never seem to give up. Enjoy yours!

😆😆👋

A super Paul. How long are you staying for?

Leaving CT on Wednesday and want to be back the following Wednesday. May leave the boat up there if there isn’t a weather window for the return. We’ll be in Kraal Bay for most of the time. Meeting up with Reve de Lune and a couple of others.

@@paulmorris7603 have a good sail and see you then!

Thanks Tyrone.We sneaked it in jjuuussst before the end of January 👍. Have a good one

Oops 👀

Those are THE BEST stretchy pants ever. He loves his jeans :) xx
