On My Way - Singlehanding an Albin Vega Offshore - A Liquid Life

[@eagerv]

Have a safe trip. Enjoying your vids, like the windvane steering and cockpit enclosure. On my wish list!

[@ALiquidLife]

Thank you for the comment! she is a good boat and handling the large seas. More to Come!

[@SuperBullyone]

the extra weight of the engine on the dingy can cause it to flip over in chop or waves. Never leave the engine on the dingy when pulling it.

Can't believe you saw dolphins right after leaving Ladysmith, I was coming back from Wallace Is. Sunday and saw my first Killer Whales and Iv'e been sailing since the 80's! Still haven't seen any dolphins. That must have been a little scary in the middle of the night with those ships.

it was a real treat to see them.. So many porpoise and whales on te way down the USA coast. many many porpoise including dall porpoises. They whales are a bit nerve wracking at night.

[@ALiquidLife]

thanks! I will let you know when I'm down in the area!

[@klugert]

Where to next?

[@ALiquidLife]

In Monterey now, one more day here and then Morro Bay, I will look at Alameda! Would be good to meet up!

[@klugert]

Avila is a nice protected anchorage with a dog beach. Just South around the cape from Morro.

[@skylift2]

Who made your dodger and Bimini, I like the size and style.

[@jackhoffman6393]

Great video, I like your style, I subscribed. Fair winds

[@ALiquidLife]

thank you for the compliment. More to come as we head south!

[@jackhoffman6393]

Great, looking forward to it, make sure to stop in Catalina

[@brunostromme9904]

Is that a wood oven you have in the saloon? Keeps the ship warm in winter??

[@billturner2360]

Cool...... your on your way. Did I see a light come on under your Dodger? If so... Did you hit a switch or was that auto ? Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing more. Thanks

[@ALiquidLife]

Hi Bill, they are on a motion sensor. LEDs light up the dodger and reflect nicely on the sails.. night time between watches, I leave them on and close the companionway so as to be more visable

[@billturner2360]

Fantastic idea..... very cool and usefull... Thank you for your response.

[@svoctopus4888]

[@ALiquidLife]

Hi +SV Octopus yes all the interior lights are set to red at night. The exterior I keep on white
