COSTA RICA here we come! And mid-ocean repairs | Sailing with Six | S2 E17

[@FrankJamger]

Over the ocean and through the lines, to grandmother's house we go. Happy Days makes a fine home, the crew has no complaints. Finn running the galley, Bella the wheelhouse, Pippi the salon. A pretty picture- 20:06. Another- 20:58. Ya made it. Good voyage, captain.

[@sailingwithsix]

We agree! Thank you 😊

[@sillygoose9070]

What great parents you are! And what a fine bunch of kids! How good it is to have their childhood and adventures documented in this way. I look forward to when they can put their own independent views. Maybe become young writers/videographers of their own stories. Excellent work all of you Sixers.

[@sailingwithsix]

Thank you so much Silly Goose 😃

[@sailingwithsix]

Thank you

[@user-rs2ue3rs7y]

playing in makeshift forts like that are some of the best childhood memories.

[@sailingwithsix]

So fun hey 😄

[@72chargerse72]

Thank you 😊

[@jamiestratton7925]

Can't get enough of this awesome channel, family and adventure

[@sailingwithsix]

Thank you

[@wombatone5577]

Just a suggestion, a sheet metal workshop could form a stainless steel folded leading edge to protect those rudders, say 1mm thick and just sikkaflex them in position then prime and anti foul. Good luck!

[@sailingwithsix]

Great suggestion! We have since repaired them and added additional fibreglass to the leading edge. 😊

[@danielsundberg1977]

Shaft drives with line cutters for long distance cruising!

[@sailingwithsix]

Shaft drives would be amazing!

[@caromarco6315]

We are enjoying watching your travels!

[@sailingwithsix]

Glad you like them! 😊

[@BrianRhodes9763]

[@harveyjohnston2976]

Thanks for another great insight to life sailing on the water great kids all seem to work well together especially the chef👍

[@sailingwithsix]

Yes. He’s our #1 chef 😄

[@berniebrown9115]

Just love your family. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@sailingwithsix]

Thank you

[@garykomp4035]

Think about putting a strip of metal on the front of the rudders or maybe some carbon fiber. Love watching your videos.

[@sailingwithsix]

Thanks, we’ve since repaired them with additional fibreglass on the leading edge.

[@boppermacca9346]

Great video, even though you'd just come on watch, luckily you still had the awareness to notice a slight dissipation in your engine and caught the long line issue straight away

[@sailingwithsix]

So true… could’ve ended differently if we hadn’t picked up the change in engine sound.

[@michaelgenson5587]

Hi Pip from Oklahoma

[@vicdebeer9658]

Very sweet kids!!

[@sailingwithsix]

😃

[@ralphmunro7635]

when seeing Southport on the stern is a reminder of how far away from home port you have gone.

[@sailingwithsix]

Yup! We still feel like there’s so much more to see 😊

[@RebelRobin501]

I find it a little surprising that the leading edges of the rudders do not have some kind of aluminum reinforcement.

[@sailingwithsix]

True. We’ve since repaired them with additional fibreglass on the leading edge.

[@patricewimart870]

👍👏👏👏

[@sailingwithsix]

👍

[@jimmydaniel1127]

Great videos mate ur kids are so wounderful very well behaved and help out tremendously unlike these american kids these days.

[@sailingwithsix]

Thank you ☺️

[@-TruthHurts]

well, a small protective strip of 0,3-0,5mm inconel steel bent to the rudder leading edge shape and glued on could solve some future issues....

[@sailingwithsix]

Thanks, we ended up reinforcing with fibreglass so hopefully that will hold up 🙏
