Some advice: if you trust mooring balls more than your own anchor setup, then it's time to improve it! You're living a life where you need to have confidence in your own gear. Don't cheap out on ground tackle. Always back down on your anchor. Make sure you have a type of anchor that can reset quickly. Make sure your chain is in good condition. Know how much scope you've let out. When storms come, let out more. Keep a spare anchor and rode. Have enough lines on board to tie out 250ft to a mangrove/tree. You guys are doing great, keep it up!

Chesapeake is where I learned to sail. Usually wind is too light or too heavy, but there is a protected anchorage almost any direction you want to go. No need to anchor in a rough anchorage. You guys are doing great! Just keep putting those sails up. It gets easier.

Same advice I give Supernova. Get the F’ing stay sail out. Francis and Roland built the most perfect cruising Cat when the Snow Goose first sailed from Canvy Island. That staysail is important to the rigs balance and worth a couple knots. People who work in factories work “shifts “ sailors stand “WATCH”. Please do not confuse the duty of a seaman taking responsibility for their ship and its crew with a bored guy watching a machine stamping out cogs.
@patrickandmichaela4 күн бұрын
What an awesome comment, we need a new car for our stay sail because it currently can only use around 70% of the track, which is very annoying and seems to blow into the mainsail in an unproductive way.

@@patrickandmichaela Try white vinegar first... add Lemon juice ... Oxalic acid solution can remove rust from stainless and may work on the tannin stains or green algae... Eutrophication of inland and coastal waters leads to the red tides and blue green algae blooms .. It's usually the extra nitrates and phosphates from washing soaps and detergents, run off, or high residuals from treated discharges. Boats looking fine and your both looking more relaxed.

Because the pricing works out the same as pre paying for the 250, we think it makes more sense this way. 🙂
