Exploring Richards bay and sailing back to Durban | Land Rats | EP60

Howzit. I just want to say that I enjoy watching your videos Firstly because your South African 👍👍and that’s where I grew up and secondly because I spent many years sailing around the Durban harbour and along the coast I started off with a 21 foot Vavacity which to be fair was a great little sailer. That I kept at the Bluff yacht club. Then I had a 29 foot Miller and Whitworth which is an Australian boat I now live in the Uk and ibsm busy getting a Beneteau Oceanis 350 ready so I can sail off Where do you guys plan on sailing to once you get your skippers ticket ??

Thanks Mark! Sounds like you've had a good couple of boats. We wanted to head up the indian ocean and cross over to the pacific but looks like we're a bit late now with cyclone season coming up. The current plan is to head down to cape town and then january decide if we're crossing to the Caribbean or heading back up for the pacific. We might still sneak a quick Mozambique in there before we head down

@@LandRatsSailing That sounds pretty cool. You guys have come a long way since I first watched your videos. It’s a lot of work but pays off in the end

Rondloop, blou ballas, kat skiet en vislyn macramé, lekker man. Miskien sal 4 vlekvrye-staal "washers' beter wees as "shim stock". Sterkte met die "liksensies" en onthou Movember is oppad dan moet daai baard waai. Geniet dit manne.

Ek het eintlik verkeerd gepraat oor die shim, het shim agter gebruik waar die tiller op die rudder vas gaan. Ek het 'n washer voor ingesit by maar dit werk nog nie 100% soos ek dit wil he vir die autopilot nie

Of all the sailing/boating shows I watch, I'm most excited when a see a new land rats episode. Why don't you leave the boat in Richards bay if its much nicer there?

[@LandRatsSailing]

Just to finish the skippers tickets in Durban, then we want to start moving. We've been back to richards bay as well

[@RachaelSA]

@@LandRatsSailing Moving to where? A different Marina or different countries?

[@LandRatsSailing]

Different countries

[@RachaelSA]

Do you still get cell signal when you sailing up and down the coast? Or are you too far out for it?

[@LandRatsSailing]

@@RachaelSA We Still get signal for about 5nm but sometimes as far as10nm offshore. Any further than that there is nothing

Die mambas gaan vir jou vang in dai lang gras

[@LandRatsSailing]

Vir 'n slang is ek nie bang

[@vernonjjf]

Jammer man, wou ook net opmerk dat daai twee loodglas deurtjies met die seeperdjie motiewe is pragtig.

I see that you are using open CPN on your computer. Can you do a video on that.

[@LandRatsSailing]

I'll see what i can do
