Ok! Just thought of a " New Charlottetown Drink," the ~ Manhasset ~ once you Hasset, man overboard. !!!!!!! Smoooooth sailing. Ray

[@RoversAdventure]

Lol! Happy New Year Ray

[@marcgatto9675]

Wow. Two wake crossings and a mooring ball pick-up! (Now yer just showin' off b'y😊)

[@RoversAdventure]

lol

[@schwabrichard9829]

Morning Allen! That sky was amazing coming down the sound! Smooth sailing to you!!!!

[@RoversAdventure]

I seem to enjoy a lot of favorable conditions in this area

[@garymalm]

I sailed a Colin Archer double-ender for 3 years through S E Asia, That one that passed you looked lovely. Happy New Year to you and Mrs Wave Rover. Gary in japan.

[@RoversAdventure]

A beautiful boat for sure. We chatted via VHF for a few minutes. He is a Wave Rover fan as it turns out.

[@tomwaite4594]

Alan, what a good video of you and wave rover making the long passage on Long Island sound. Your workman like handling of heavy traffic, current, and the not so friendly fall cold weather show how well suited you both are for long passage making. The average 21 foot boat and owner would have required three stops overnight. Wave Rover must have a easy motion underway and its wonderful that the Mk3 can handle the work while under power. Thanks For Taking Us Along

[@RoversAdventure]

Glad you enjoyed it my friend.

[@paulhease1007]

Great video--lovely to see the new boat and new junk rig going so beautifully Alan!!! Also nice to see the old Mark III tracking strong !!!

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks Paul. Great to hear from you again. Did you end up buying a new boat?

[@bernardszirth9665]

Always so interesting and to see WR2 just forge its adventure is amazing. Thanks as always for sharing

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks for saying so my friend.

[@mtb_sail_vids3645]

Love the adventure. I’m building a small sailboat, too. I’m always inspired when you say it’s “time to crack on.” 😂 Thanks for sharing.

[@lonestaradventures8838]

Nice passage. That double ender was an alajuela 38 i think. Nice blue water boat. Rare to see. Looks like some good sailing weather. Bit cold looking, but at least wind in right direction and flat seas

[@RoversAdventure]

Thanks 👍

[@pareidolia3902]

Thank you so much for your project, which is so motivating to be positive during such a disappointing time for many.✊

[@RoversAdventure]

You are so welcome!

[@sailoutofagarage6212]

Great episode, keep going!

[@RoversAdventure]

I truly enjoyed these passages

[@markgallagher1376]

Looked like a great sail. Thanks for sharing.

[@baronsamdi1800]

What's up Allan. Thank you very much, My Guy. I've made it to the Chesapeake bay. I'll find you when you get back down this way. "Forge Your Own Adventure!"

[@RoversAdventure]

I plan to sail the lower Chesapeake in the Spring.

[@Itssmial_Ova]

Another great Video Alan, thanks for having us aboard! Looking forward to hearing back about CNC Plans! Looking forward to a wave rover adventure myself!

[@RoversAdventure]

Andy is following up on the CNC next week

[@mugsypea]

Greetings Allan! I’ve been watching and occasionally commenting on these fabulous entries. I’d like to know a little bit your provisioning and what you eat along the way and what you stock up on when you are at port. Keep up the good work and sail safe!

[@RoversAdventure]

I'll be doing a video on that shortly. Thanks for watching an please keep the comments coming.

[@lloydbrown9327]

Hi...nice to see you again! I taught you were going to spend the winter in the Caribbean? It's-14 c here today, with the windchill! I rather be sailing the Caribbean! Stay safe!

[@afiles7678]

Amazing! 👍

[@RoversAdventure]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@GrenvilleMelonseedSkiff496]

A delightful scene … sunrise at sea under sail with the Mk 3 dialled in … magic! PS: It appeared to me that there was a small issue with the leech on the bottom panel … is the sail OK? Hold Fast! ⛵️🇨🇦🙂

[@RoversAdventure]

I should have hoisted it another couple of inches. I discover that later

[@felipek6496]

E la nave va! Et vogue le navire. And the ship sails on. Smoothly. What a beautiful and sturdy boat, Captain! Congrats. Best wishes from Brazil.

[@RoversAdventure]

feliz Natal e Feliz Ano Novo

[@felipek6496]

@@RoversAdventure Wow! You answered in Portuguese! It is very thoughtful of you. I lived in Canada (Qc) and you guys are amazing and your country is awesome. God save your land and you Alan and your magnificent boat!

[@-Good4Y0u]

I sail on the Sound pretty often. But on a large cat out of Port Washington

[@RoversAdventure]

You live in a beautiful area.

[@-Good4Y0u]

@@RoversAdventure it's a sail that reminds me of Gatsby, especially those huge mansions you see on the way into the harbor area.

[@RoversAdventure]

@@-Good4Y0u That's exactly the though I had when I saw the mansions

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Keep heading to warmer climes!

[@knolltop314]

Good episode. Sail on!

[@johnzink3309]

thx

[@daveamies5031]

Does this mean you've managed to tune the MKIII to steer under full sail now 🤞, I know you were having issues with that in earlier videos, perhaps you can do a video on what you did to tune it? Great video as always👍

[@RoversAdventure]

It is fixed. The issue was with the attachment points of the trim tab. I will show how I went about it. But that video won't be out for several weeks.

[@paulhease1007]

@@RoversAdventure Holy Cow--do those drawings need to be ammended Alan??

[@jandejong2430]

From Port Washington it's an easy 40 minutes or so into the city, by LIRR.

[@robkunzig5795]

Hoping you have great footage of the East River and Hells Gate - I'm thinking I've heard a lot about that area and the currents that RUN.... Until next week, or next year?

[@RoversAdventure]

Coming up next video.

[@muskyful]

Beautiful sailing weather and Wave Rover looks stunning. I've made that trip many times in late fall going south. Timing the East River is everything for an enjoyable passage. One thing that would concern me is the lack of good "long" cabin top hand rails for going forward in rough seas since the junk rig has no stays to grab and there's no safety rail. You know the saying ..."if its gonna happen, its gonna happen out there" ! Do you run a centerline jack line when it gets nasty?

[@RoversAdventure]

Yes to the Jack line

[@jaygee5693]

Your sail is truly a thing of beauty, but I've noticed that the bottom "panel" of the sail, between the boom and the first batten, seems to be always slightly rumpled near the trailing edge (leech?). Could the sail be trimmed so that the panel uniformly fills out, or does the sail cloth just need time to stretch into shape?

[@RoversAdventure]

I should have hoisted the sail another 3 inches

[@DrSurf-fx4gf]

You are still having more fun then legally allowed by law! Just Saying. And I have not been able to send you a email but put me down for a super interest in a wave runner kit. Thanks, Mike B

[@RoversAdventure]

Happy New Year Mike. Would you mind sending a quick email to me about your interest in the kit. [e-mail]

[@manelcufi1122]

Mr. Rover in the bow does not have handrails, he would have to have a safety harness at all times when going forward when anchoring or lowering sails, etc. Greetings

[@RoversAdventure]

I feel very confident in the conditions I was in. Under different conditions I would wear a harness

[@happycamper4537]

What happened to red, right, returning? Looking Good Alan!

[@RoversAdventure]

In that scene, I'm just entering the channel with deep water all around. Good observation.

[@kevinseversonandhisvizslas8287]

What are the rules coming into a harbor? Right of way, etc

[@RoversAdventure]

Standard Colregs apply

[@JohnBraman413]

what's the total build cost of the boat? time it took to build?

[@davewestner]

Question for any sailors that see this: What's the best time of day on a boat out of sight of land on a long passage? I would imagine sunrise would be people's favorite, but I would love some opinions.

[@RoversAdventure]

That's a tough question. Sunrise and sunset are lovely. But night time with stars can also be amazing.

[@edwardfinn4141]

Suppertime!

[@davewestner]

@@edwardfinn4141 heck yeah!

[@RoversAdventure]

@@edwardfinn4141 lol

[@alexd7466]

could you share some details about average and max speed?

[@RoversAdventure]

I seem to average 4kts over a 24hr period. As for max speed...6+

[@DrBrian0450]

Follow the contrails....

[@RoversAdventure]

Good navigation advice...when all else fails lol
