Lots of channels attempt to show “real boat life”, but they explain it rather than bringing us into the actual thought processes and explanations of sail plans, etc. You really bring us along on your passages. It makes me think about what a I can do with my own little boat. It gives me the courage to try a little more, and a little more until I am one with my boat. Thanks for real actual passage making videos without the entertainment. You are one of the best channels out there. Congrats on the added performance the refit provided. Cheers!!

I did enjoy the soundtrack on this one though, it really gave a sense of being there and the music was the perfect accompaniment to it ! Nicely done !

Pasky I learned a trick many years back on how to remove water in the ears without shaking your head off your shoulders. Get a paper towel roll a corner into a fine tip and gently insert into the affected ear. I swear you can feel the water being drawn out and the relief is instantaneous. Works for me every time. Hope it helps you Kiddo.
@jens59343 жыл бұрын
The size of the large wide swell in the southern ocean will skew the wind as it would between mountains and valleys on land, add to that large choppy wind waves atop these swells and you have a messy sea and skittish winds. It actually gets a bit more stable direction as the breeze increases, but that will bring new waves with it. You guys are such an inspiration doing it in a 30 footer. I take my hat off to you,... but I do that quiet regularly on your channel, the way you two sail and work together. Just lovely!

Sorry to hear about the diving ear I've had it a few times now and I'm now using a pressure compensating set of fitted sized ear inserts that keep the water out of your ears .

Running downwind in a strong wind is always fun but the heavy seas make it a roller coaster. I know it’s winter down there so it must be cool as you’re fully dressed. It looks like a big boat but it has a tiller not a steering wheel. It is rather narrow so might roll more. It funny to watch the stove swing - not quite smoothly. It’s like a gimbal but only two axis. Thanks from Florida.

I don’t know what it’s called in English, but if you do some big, long cris crossing so that you get the wind more from the sides. You get much calmer conditions in the boat, and the extra speed almost makes up for the longer distance. And I’ll bet the wind steering works better as well.

A really good way to get all the water out of your ear is to tilt you ear up that has water in it. Allow clean water to fill it all the way to the top. Wait about ten or so second then tilt back straight up. All the water will come out all at once. Because water has surface tension and pulls water together and boom water out. Use clean water to do the getting water out thing. You can even give your ear another good clean with round two clean water. It really does work. You need to get to the point where the sound changes and is really muffled.
