no wind no solar electric boat in lots of current - Sailing Oka Solo - 046

[@sailing_el_jaleo]

13kts?!? That is pretty crazy, I'd be at the mercy of the current! You need to make videos more often! 😉

[@sailingokasolo6801]

It was about 9 knots when I passed the narrows, and then it mellows out a lil bit once you're past as the current was still going to get stronger I do need to make more vids! Lately I have been focusing on work and now filming much but we're just starting sailing season

[@jechartier]

just chose and follow the currents as they suite. trop bien!

[@sailingokasolo6801]

I like to reffer to it as reading the water

[@jup-defi-us-all]

Only just found you today Pat, awesome life you’re creating. Keep the adventure alive fine lady. Love your style safe travels

[@haydenrhoads6617]

I really enjoy watching your videos so keep it up!

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Thanks, will do!

[@sensor6101]

Great episode. I love the dock guys reaction to, “it’s electric” ;-)

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Yeah can't lie, I like peoples reaction when they figure it out 😊

[@svfreelance8235]

Nice video Patricia looking good fair winds and fallowing seas mate

[@sailorstu]

Thank you for the video Patricia, it was wonderful like always. I hope you are staying warm and dry. It was nice meeting you and Winter a couple weeks ago. I hope we can get our sister boats together sometime this summer for a cruise.

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Hi Stu was a pleasure to meet you,Are you back in texada now?

[@sailorstu]

@@sailingokasolo6801 I am in Pender Harbour until the weather clears. Then heading to Texada for a few days. I spoke with the boat yard, and they just hauled out another Endurance 35. So when you bring your boat on the hard, they will know exactly what to do.

Salutations du Québec. Super vidéo Patricia! Plongée pour nettoyer l’hélice doit pas être très plaisant . L’eau doit être plutôt froide à ce moment de l’année. As-tu un équipement de plongée pour te protéger? Beau travail sur la baume. Je suis content pour toi que ce problème est résolu, sans trop de $$. Tes navigations sont toujours impressionnantes dans ce coin de notre pays. Est-ce que le courant est séparé en deux sur la rivière à environ 7:00 de la vidéo? L’entrée à Disovery harbor est étrange Oka semble voguer de côté! Bonne navigation cet été au plaisir de voir d’autre vidéo.

[@caphorn7029]

Bonjour Patricia. Comme toujours les paysages sont magnifiques mais on comprends très bien avec cette vidéo que de tels paysages se méritent. Heureusement que tu as une bonne expérience de la navigation dans cette région car avec des courants aussi forts un marin non expérimenté prendrait de gros risques. Merci pour ce partage. Prends soin de toi. Une caresse à Winter. Amitiés. Olivier.

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Salut Olivier, je me lasse jamais de la vue ici! Et puis les courrant jai appris a les aimer, parfois avec le bon timing ca va plus vitte!

[@Lana_Warwick]

Hi, great to see you, for some reason missed your past few vids. Your hair looks great, also great to see Winter doing well after the incident, give her a belly scratch for me. Guess your still working to not be sailing a warmer climate. Few hazards in those waters. ⛵💜

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Thanks, Im so glad she got away relatively unscathed...Yeah eventually we will make it to warmer places. Have been working lots but just ordered material to make new chainplates and later will replace the standing rigging which are the two biggest worries on my list 😊

[@Lana_Warwick]

@@sailingokasolo6801 In-case unaware, Rigging Dr. is doing vids on replacing his plates atm. Internals to externals = kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKW9Zn-LYruUhsUsi=mnbvOqhW1-8LgCiE&t=17 Carbon Fibre = kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYnWgZKHndh7Z80si=QE0RIWBRP-HBa1if&t=10 There's also other references/links in comments. He also has Dyneema Rigging = kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6ucf3eifJh_g8k For peace of mind you could have a mix of both. IMO, for good night sleep, oversize anchor, good scope chain & swivel (prefer SS), drag alarm, are a must. Plenty of vids re this, latest = kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYG8aol7iairf6s Perhaps you could also chase sponsor deals. People love DIY vids, suppliers love getting they're name out there, i.e. TotalBoat for paints, etc.

[@Lana_Warwick]

@@sailingokasolo6801 Hi, my previous reply to you isn't showing, perhaps deleted due to having a youtube link. It was regarding Rigging Doctor currently doing his chain plates, making them from carbon fibre, locating them externally from leaky internal. Plus using dyneema rather than ss rigging. Reason for this mesg, just watched a doco Winter & yourself might enjoy, re the training of Dog (what they called him) in Mad Max 2 (Road Warrior), called "History of DOG from Mad Max 2"🐶

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Definitely will have to look at that documentary as i am both a fan of the movie and dog training, ive always loved the rigging doctor but havent seen any recent videos sounds like I should!

[@lausagne4764]

thanks for the video, great as always, very relaxing

[@virgilius68]

Nice video agian. My motor is the same as yours. Recently i got this DC Range-extender 48V, testing it now. It seems to work well. Have seen 68A already.

[@Lachi884]

[@sailinggreenpearl2571]

Thanks for uploading, always a treat to see whats going on with oka. Love how comfortable winter is on the boat. The weather looks to be improving, are you back doing timber salvage this summer?

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Not going back, I have been Captain of a tug with a 100ft barge with a crane rig, buildng and installing docks, ramps, moorings etc learning lots and becoming a better skipper and operator bringing the barge in tight shallows spots

[@LynneJohnson-ec5dd]

Have you left Salty??

[@jimh.5286]

Sailing and electric are so much nicer than noisy, smoky, vibrating diesel.

[@Sailorboynumberone]

How did they navigate without engines long time ago in these currents?🫨

[@stephenburnage7687]

Right route, right time of year, then hope for the best.

[@sailorstu]

The scary thing is there used to be a huge rock in that area, called Ripple Rock which sunk several ships passing through. Blowing it up was a major engineering challenge, which is presently in the record books.

[@sailingokasolo6801]

Yeah unfortunately i had lots of miles to cover to get to my new job otherwise I would of spent more time exploring waiting for better winds

[@sailorstu]

@@sailingokasolo6801 time will come for exploring. I just arrived at the boat yard. I am not getting her lifted until next week. I have lots of work on the solar system, and so on.
