Big & Little Victories (EP 70)

YES!!! We fixed a major problem with our shifter, Holly leaves Stephane on the boat alone, and we finally leave George Town after a month. Also in this episode, we give you an exclusive tour of the #Nordhavn 64 and share a secret story about #Delos!
=====
Join us as we share the reality of the ups and downs of boat life on a sailing catamaran in the Bahamas. It's fun, and also it's fun with problems, some are little and others are big...and so are the victories!
In this episode:
We deal with another throttle control issue and some bits and pieces while exploring the George Town Bahamas area with our new cruising friends.

We have made the transition from full-time software professionals from the SF Bay Area to liveaboard sailing explorers who always keep one eye on the weather and our hearts in a song. Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52.
We are working with Outremer in France (with the help of Google Translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speed test, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water.
Join us as we share what we’re learning living without Amazon, (but with Starlink), and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our KZbin vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us.

=============================
✅ About Sailing AWEN.
Holly and Stephane are formerly from the San Francisco Bay Area but have a home in Tahoe. Our 'someday' plan was to sell our belongings, buy a boat, and, with reckless abandon, sail away to visit distant lands, which we did starting in 2020.
You can follow our transition and journey in our candid podcast, Covert Castaway, wherever you listen. You can also follow every stop we’ve made with pictures and blogs and stream our podcast directly on our website.

Good Stephane organised chaos 😂

[@tomwolf9420]

Looking at the trawlers abundance of electronics I was thinking: so much that could go broke… Love the solitude while fixing stuff too, Stephan 😊

[@SailingAWEN]

Those boats are built with a lot of redundancy, at least in the engine room so I guess they must have some level of redundancy for the electronics as well.

[@waynehunt4327]

I wish I could subscribe multiple times to assist boost your numbers; an enjoyable Vlog that deserves many more Subscribers - keep up the great work!!

[@SailingAWEN]

Thank you so much!!!

[@remoranville]

Just a quick note that you're my favorite you tube channel! Keep it up! I have a ton of respect for your decisions not to "monitize" your you tube. But if you ever did change your minds, that's OK too! Something I think would be very interesting to share on video, would be down wind reefing. We've heard you mention it a few times during the crossing the Atlantic passage. Fair winds and following seas!

[@SailingAWEN]

Thank you! Yes, we really want to cover it, we are trying to figure out how to explain it while doing it but we’ve also been anchored a lot in big wind here in the Bahamas.

[@Boody523]

Miss you guys! Hope to meet up again. That Norderfluphen was amazing

[@SailingAWEN]

🤣🤣

[@dreamofsailing]

Another great video…we were missing you guys!

[@SailingAWEN]

I’m sorry we skipped a week, I had to travel for a celebration of life for a friend. We are back on track now. 😎

[@dreamofsailing]

@@SailingAWEN yes sorry to hear that…our condolences. 🙏

[@rickguthrie7662]

I love the surfing design on the underside of Stephane's wide brim hat. Great job with repairing the shifters.

[@SailingAWEN]

Thanks, first time I get to see the design from that angle. It does look good! I got this hat back home (South Lake Tahoe).

[@rickguthrie7662]

@@SailingAWEN I live in Olympia WA. I skied at Tahoe when I was 20. Gorgeous skiing and lake!

[@kcsunnyone]

Another episode of Sailing AWEN! I've been at the end of a rainbow in downtown Ft. Myers. Again - the water is beautiful, and that trawler was so huge!

[@SailingAWEN]

Did you find the pot of gold? ;-)

[@kcsunnyone]

@@SailingAWEN I wish! All the air was colored red- like driving thru a mist that was a pink reddish hue.

[@tonyfromaus7855]

Nice job on the throttles. You guys have a beautiful sweet boat that has awesome capabilities…. it’s a real pleasure to find a vid from you so we can share a moment of boating joy. Thanks.

[@SailingAWEN]

Thank you Tony!

[@rogerirwin8878]

Well Done! Look forward to your adventures in the Raggeds. Fair winds!

[@SailingAWEN]

For anyone who loves remotes places we definitely recommend to make it to the Ragged Islands. Great community of like minded cruisers here.

[@fabricecolleu6464]

De nouveau une nouvelle chouette vidéo "guys" ... votre plan a venir de navs martinique et trinidad m'enthousiasme deja.. a tres vite steph, Holly..bye

[@SailingAWEN]

Oui, pas mal de miles a faire et surtout une grosse partie contre le vent. On va depoussierer la trinquette ;-)

[@gabsi64]

Love your videos guys….

[@SailingAWEN]

Oh, thank you!

[@mckenziesonthemove807]

Good job guys. Quick question are you leaving Awen in Trinidad for the whole hurricane season and going home or is it hauling out and head west ?

[@SailingAWEN]

Leaving it for a bit and headed back to Tahoe. We will cover that in our next video.

[@user-pe6hh4rp6c]

That Nordhavyn is a beautiful boat❤

[@edemerick1889]

Can you provide a link to your marriage savers😊

Did you try putting the outboard on FB marketplace, craigslist, FB Caribbean cruisers group, etc... ?

[@SailingAWEN]

yes

[@codegame027]

@@SailingAWEN what are you asking?

[@trevorgent14]

lol…takes a brave man to actually create film evidence of the state of his bachelor pad?

[@SailingAWEN]

LOL (Stephane)... after filming this I just had to make sure everything looked good before Holly got back to the boat

[@SailingAWEN]

Holly here, it was still a mess and he thought it was clean! 🤣

[@geniexmay562]

Oooops! Another haul out planned 🙄😳😬😅

[@SailingAWEN]

Well, this one is planned. We'll put Awen to bed for the summer and hopefully no hurricanes will come close to Trinidad. Statistically it looks good!
