where do you get aluminum spars for a sloop rigged navigator? Trying to decide between building wooden ones or buy aluminum.

I live on the central coast of California. Grew up in and around the local harbor. Always daydreamed of boat camping up and down the coast in the warm summer. Cherry pick the finest days. So many great spots. The adaptations for dingy camping could easily be applied to a small van, or truck and camper. There's so much to see out there.

Are you going to have to get a mast head light next - just in case you are caught in the dark? I am sure you can get a battery operated remote controlled one. Lovely galley box!

Enjoyed that Josh. Was quite crazy out there!! The waves never look quite so big on KZbin as they are in real life so they were getting there weren't they and probably a good decision to turn back! Some of us "Europeans", if you can call British people that any more, are always looking for the quiet serene spots that are increasingly hard to come by on our crowded little island, so I love watching your channel and the lovely quiet spots in abundance. Every sail is truly a mini adventure! Thank-you very much for sharing the new Galley box and the rubbish bag idea and keep flying the drone! Mine took a dip in Lake Ullswater recently but fortunately had insurance so it only cost me £62 for a new one with new battery!!! You have to take the risks to get the good shots!! Happy sailing
