First Overnight Trip On The Sail Boat - Solo Sailing A Tiny Home

[@lightningnick]

We live on a 45 foot yacht with a draft of 2.1m. we have motor/sailed the channels from Southport to Moreton many times, and haven't run aground yet (touch wood), the trick is to try and time it so that you are passing Jacobs Well at high tide, the tides in the channel flood in from both directions and meet at Jacobs Well (which is approximately half way) , so you will have the current helping you get to Jacobs Well then carry you back out. We use navionics on an ipad, the "autoroute" feature will show the correct track. Happy sailing

[@ll-nm8he]

U just want to brag about ur 45feet yacht and big living space and stuff well big boat means more work and not enough time for a fish and also more cost size don't matter all the times this boat best size for overnight camping and fishing singel hand sailing and over all cheap nice way be on the water ur 45feet is a naver ending worries that well send u Brock one day lol

Always get a smile on my face when I see that Rod's uploaded another video, came across this channel about 4 or 5 months ago and he's got a loyal subscriber from Ireland now!! Already can't wait for the next upload!

[@TheLyrad1]

Rod I think you named the tender without realizing it..."Comin' Along" is primo! Only thing I can say is you have a lot of faith in that chain and rope being clean letting it slide through those precious digits of yours. It only takes one burr or barney to end that day on a bad note! Get some fingerless glovies and throw them in the "never leaves the boat" locker along with that mask and snorkel and some fins! Fair winds my friend!

[@johnsipolis]

Was thinking the same thing about sliding the chain through the fingers.

[@mitchellb9027]

Respect for you posting uncut footage. Not sugarcoating the glory of the situation. Going to make the perfect days even better to watch! Thank you Rokkit

[@TheBeaker59]

She was basically sailing on the anchor when that happens you can lock the tiller about 30 degrees and the current will hold her out in the stream, you may need to experiment with settings, you can also reduce the scope a little. Remember you can fish from your Yacht EH!

[@william207able]

Always use 2 anchors one for and one aft! And add some noseum mesh around the top of the cabin so you can leave it raised and the bugs can’t get in!

[@hirokawiti4932]

This channel is going places, with a solar/satellite wifi/supply base such as this you could camp multiple islands in a single trip. Perhaps even comfy enough for your family to join in on the fun. The vicarious adventure perhaps the world needs right now. Stay blessed and safe out there brother🙏

Thank you Rod, I went squidding last week for the first time, caught 4, cleaned them etc and learnt it all from you.

[@ernest795]

Advise you to pull the engine prop up when sailing, your speed will increase quite a bit. There is no rope on a boat, only line. You should pull the dinghy out of water at night/when not using for long periods of time to keep the bottom from becoming covered in growth over time. Creating a 3-4 point lifting harness and using the main sail halyard & winch will make it easy to bring .5m out of the water alongside.

[@rudbeckia885]

Bolt rope for one

[@davidraines2873]

Brother that seems like you will have many fun trips with enough room for the family. Looking forward to seeing your videos

[@thejamig808]

This is awesome man. I bought my own sailboat in Denmark and have lived on it for about 6 months now. It is the greatest decision I ever made.

[@maarten_notjustagrip]

23:24. You could totally invert the dinghy over the companionway. I'm pretty sure there's enough space under the boom. It'll be like a dodger and give you covered space to stand with a tiller extension. Sorted.

[@FondelMikeRotch]

Excellent maiden voyage! May I suggest a nice stainless boarding ladder? Would be a safe investment if you were injured and had to reboard the boat.

[@paultaylor3856]

[@Zyresh]

Yeees, I've been waiting to see you take a trip on your nice boat Rob!

[@davidhorsey7164]

If u tie a bucket or droug on a shortish rope of the back of the yacht it will pull it in to line with the flow of water and keep your anchor line away from your boat bottom also tie a small float to bucket or drouge to stop it from spinning or snaging the sea bottom as the boat will naturally lie to current or wind what ever is stronger or a combination of them happy sailing love it

[@dss9775]

I am learning from your videos. Enjoying every sail as a gift. ***I have seen people put fenders and/or balls attached at intervals to their chains/lines to keep them from hanging up in coral or on the rudder. ***flexible screening and magnets keep the "no-see-ums" away. easily rolls away. 👍🏼 Thank you. 😊⛵️💕🌎

[@mutilixusX]

I think the same solutions that people live in van use can be applied in your living space at your boat especially the kitchen area. For all metallic utensils, strong magnets to avoid them clanking and making noises during wavy nights, also prevents knives from just flying around. They can also be used in the doors to avoid them popping open out of the blue. Also works on your pans and other cookware

[@onthelooseadventures]

Love Misty, mate!! Looking forward to her adventures. Have you thought about a twin anchor system? One in front, one in back. You still have the old anchor, you could tender it out after dropping the forward anchor

[@PREPFORIT]

That is a fantastic day. Working out the kinks will make every new day better.

[@StemtoSternSailing]

Congratulations on your first night at anchor.... its a wonderful experience. Mine was a freezing cold one , diddnt dare to put the heater on... not sure of the battery condition... did a test next night where shore power was available,,, batteries turned out to hold up perfectly... never a cold nigt at ancor since (Norway) best regards from Jarle

[@MrJadesage68]

So cool to watch your videos. Thank you for the excellent commentary.

[@joerunge3915]

I am stoked for the sailing content especially with the fam!

[@johanswede8200]

You need a heavy line that does not float at all...for the anchor. But in this case with the wind and current doing their thing...it might be inevitable that the line gets stuck😘

[@davidmiller2238]

When anchoring over 100 ft many fishermen invest in an anchor buoy (to reel in the anchor) 12 in or so for your size anchor, maybe more, to float the anchor while pullling it in. But such an anchor buoy could also stop the anchor rope from catching on that spot on the keel. Anchor buoys also have many practical applications, especially for a skin diver, or mooring your dinghy while sailing around your secluded island destination. Sounds like a lot of fun!

[@freeholdtacticalmed]

Put a tether on your fishing rods! You got this Rod, but you’ll learn a lot when the winds blow! Rock on Nice Guy.!

[@petersacharias4862]

Great vid mate... Love watching your transition to a salty seadog.. Few tips to play with (depending on conditions) when you have wind against tide... Get yourself a sea anchor to deploy off stern.. another version is a large bucket on a rope.. Add a fender or float to stop bucket sinking.. Again play with that.. You can also hoist a fully reefed main or tie your tiller off as required and depending on conditions..... Never ending learning my friend Hope that helps.. Fair winds...enjoy

Hi mate, run up through Jacobs well way to moreton bay, I do it in a Lagoon 630 no problems even at low tide. It’s easy once you’ve done it once. The bay is great for your boat, plus great plastics fishing for snapper around the southern bay, all very protected and safe.

[@scottlampe70]

for the charts/sounder, an economical way to get them is navionics on a tablet (any cheap android tablet) and the navionics "sonar phone T Box" sounder. it connects to any tablet/phone via wifi and will give you the same features as a $1200 chart plotter for about $250.

[@theBoognish1907]

One thing you might want to think about is a boom tent/boom screenhouse. You can get a cheap screenhouse and just drape it over the boom and tie it off to the stanchions/lifelines. Then you can leave the companionway open and have a great, airy night's sleep. Just found your channel as I'm interested in getting a sailboat on the Great Lakes of the US. Fun stuff! Enjoy the fishing!

[@arjovenzia]

RE Flatties at night; Ive had pretty decent success with a buoy with a bright, downward facing light. the ghetto version is those cheap ali LED torches you get from bunnings, 3 to a pack. gob the lens, switch and threads up with silicone (put good batteries in it), and bash it into the hole of a crab float. put a few big sinkers around the torch to keep it pointing down, and teather from the bottom. it brings in water fleas, which keeps schools of minnows around. which keeps the flatties around. let it bake for an hour or so, and then flick a lure thru the light pool. I usually tether it about half my cast distance from the shore, in about 1-2m. Ive only ever caught good sized flathead in my area doing this. a similar thing can be done in deeper water if going for squid. given where i usually fish is pretty devoid of structure, anything you can do to make a feature helps. I cant say I had anything to do with it, but there is a Community artificial reef coming together out there. mainly parts of brick wall, concrete pipe, n lashed together milk crates. whatever stuff is heavy, safe to dump in the ocean, and wont get destroyed by winter storms. nothing for miles but sand and seagrass, but all sorts of interesting species out on that spot.

[@kennethmacleod111]

Just paint marks on the chain and marks on the rope for depth measurements and slight reverse as you anchor so the chain doesn't pile up on the bottom, not being mean, just making sure you and your family are safe

You get an awl and shove a piece of colored line through there you can change the colors as you go or you can double the pattern they can be actually whipped into the anchor rhode.
