Thanks, Bev. Those were fun times. We miss our buddy boats!

It is a lovely place to spend hurricane season!

Thank you, Matt. Miss you too!

They were really good times! Miss you two!

It is beautiful, isn't it?

@@sailingcalypso I have been following you for a few days. Your video content quality is very good. But I noticed that, due to video optimization problems, the videos are not getting more views and subscribers. You need to fix it. Best wishes

Thanks @jonnytoast

Thanks Kelly. Now every time I do them I think of you! You would laugh if you could hear the bloopers!

Thanks for the message. Wasn't the fish great? I loved the animal life around Sandy Island. Lots of pelicans, laughing gulls, fish and even an octopus!

We didn't take our boat there but took the ferry from Bequia to St Vincent. We enjoyed the tour we did of the beautiful island. Video and pics of that tour will be in a future video.

Very good memories and lots of good fun!

Hi there. Thanks for your message. We loved our Sadler. She was a really great boat to learn on and for me, Siobhan, to build my confidence on a bigger boat. Our previous boat was a Stadt 23. We have no regrets at all. We sold her and moved on to a Montevideo 43 which we are currently sailing in the Bahamas. Stay well and fair winds.

Yes, we are having the most amazing time! I can't say we love every minute of it, but at the moment the good outweighs the bad!

Yes, we learnt so much on Monsoon, our Sadler 32. We enjoyed sailing her in the bay, but couldn't imagine crossing an ocean on her like you did on yours. I didn't know about SV Berserk! Hectic stuff. We are all well. Currently in the Bahamas. How are you? Are you still in SA?

Did you buy her from Tim? Will you sail out of Saldanha Bay Yacht Club? Hope to see you in Kraal Baai

@@sailingcalypso Yes I did. She is currently moored at Club Mykonos.

Many thanks for the reply....just saw this comment now. I sold her to a guy who now sails her out of Saldanha Bay Yacht Club and I understand that she is back on the market. She still looks the same as when I sold her. She was a great little boat.

Good luck - who you doing it with? Monsoon is for sale if you interested

I am considering going with Good Hope Sailing academy , Although buying your boat is tempting I dont have enough dosh yet....pity. I'm just watching your videos now and its a good boat. It will be a very good buy and if I may ask how much are your looking for her?

Good Hope are great - did all my training with them. Boat is on the market for R250 000

Hensh 250K is a steal for your boat, you did invest a lot of time and money in doing repairs and upgrades......if I had the dosh you would have a buyer. Until then I will watch and do my courses.

Not as smart as you...

It sure was that time. It was the first time we put up the main since the rig was replaced and the main sail sliders were all out of the track, so I had to feed all the sliders into the track and put the split pin back. It's much quicker normally! Only issue we have is the battens getting caught in the lazy jacks!

Hi cobalt 60 -the boat was great, a big improvement on the previous version. The new layout makes it feel much bigger than 40 foot and bigger than the lagoon etc at a similar size. We had 7 adults on board with not ever feeling cramped for space. Sailing was easy - all lines running back to the helm. as always on a cat, one feels removed from the sailing so to speak - all seems so easy and one can sail in 20 knots without spilling drinks! One must remember to reef at certain wind speeds - an easy task on the leopard. Forward door is great for getting wind thru the boat at anchor. Only negative is that the boat is primarily built for charter (about 5 kilometers from my house here in Cape Town, South Africa) so can feel a bit plasticky - too much epoxy and not enough wood but that said I would buy the boat in a heartbeat if I had the cash. Loads of storage, even under the bridge deck sole. All in all a great boat in my humble opinion. All the best...
