SSL 284 ~ Surfing in the anchorage... NOT GOOD!

Follow us on our new Instagram real time at:
www. SailingSophisticatedLady
Today's video starts with a covert mission run by Mr Brady from SV DELOS who's friend is flying in from the US, so they wired me up with spy gear to play the evil Captain Rick and pull a prank on the unsuspecting target.. was lots of fun! Lol
Next we set sail for Carriacou to spend a long weekend away somewhere nice, but end up running head long into a north swell event that is heading south from a big storm that was brewing in the Atlantic ocean... but no point complaining, we take advantage of the opportunity and go surfing.. dinghy surfing even! :)
Hope you enjoy, look forward to your comments below as always! Thanks for watching everyone, see you next episode!
Cheers,
Captain Rick

Now that's what I'm talking about!!! I grew up surfing in So. Calif. and now I'm land locked in Colorado....I really enjoyed this!!!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! :)

[@srqlisa7881]

Well that did not look like much fun being tied down with those waves, yes might as well party. :) peace

Very well done. Enjoyed it like I was there yesterday. Nice surfing in PacMan and yes, Captain Rick is that Wild and Crazy Guy! 😎 Thanks for sharing. Rick Boyd - Orlando

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Glad to have you aboard Rick, say hi to Lisa, and tell her thanks for letting you come to visit! :)

[@davidc6510]

Thanks for another fun video with you and Captn Breeyawn, Senor Brady and his best friend Pawh Pawh (Matt) from Delos! The SV Delos episode 199 was a prefect complement to this video. Great job Rick!

[@ralphholiman7401]

Man, that was one crazy anchorage!

[@fishheds]

I always thought those Delos boys knew how to cuss. Great episode, Rick!

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks! :)

[@billlawmarshall5197]

Awesome video Rick. I try and surf when I have time at the washout near Charleston SC on folly beach. Surfing Rick style looks like a lot of fun

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

Thanks Bill, and yes it was! :)

[@peterhulsebos4049]

[@julianfiacconi709]

OMG S/V Delos....respect yo !! I've been following them since they started. Your vlog keeps getting better and better each time, thanks for your efforts, real cruising, real life. Two of my favourite vlogs.

[@mattheweburns]

Awesome waves look like lots of fun; however, all I can think about is, "boat ok? Boat ok?" Towering waves... Thanks for the videos, cheers!

[@adambaker6062]

nice to see you let loose with Delos. Cheers from southern Iowa USA.

[@Sailing9LIVES]

Looked like fun on the boards not to mention the dinghy.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

not something we get to do everyday, but sure was fun this day! :)

[@rickgiannini9322]

finally, someone who makes me look sain from one capt Rick to another

[@martyjouett9949]

What a great video. Loved the surfing dinghy segments.

[@Trixter808]

For surfing off the boat I made a small floater with those's weights for fishing that have the wires you can bend to grab the reef and I never anchor in less than 25' depending on how big the waves are I'll go to 100' some time's in huge surf like what we would call 10-12' other's would call it 20-25' typically 10' would break in up to 15' of water to get a idea on anchor depth but I would use my buoy 1st see where the surf was breaking as of where I tossed my buoy there was times I thought it was good the large set came broke on my buoy which was ok with me since I didn't toss my anchor yet it's a good habit to do if your going to anchor near the surf and using the depth gauge and wave height 10' was 15' water as a factor in telling you the depth to anchor and another good thing to do is always use floating anchor rope and have a good floater on the end of the anchor rope so if by chance your have to bail really fast and no time to pull anchor just undo anchor from boat and go toss it no worry's cause you got a floater on end and you can come back for it and you should always have at least 2 anchor's I'm sure you know that And more if you Boat is large not scolding you just trying to pass info I've learned and use to keep me and me boat safe as well as everyone one on it have fun on you travels careful on those reefs its crazy how huge wave come out of nowhere even out at Sea I've had insane wave rattle my boat while out at Sea and I'm sure you have had some similar thing happen Good Luck God Bless and Aloha

[@KJ-qd9zb]

Hey Rick, still playing catch up...really like the vids with the Delos gang. I find myself laughing out loud when they're around. Keep up the good footage Rick!

[@debrasalt3598]

Hey Rick, I know you're in SXM right now and some Friends of mine have just arrived from the BVI with no masts (SV Papageno).They are a very lovely couple-Liz used to be part of the Delos crew, met the Love of her Life on St. Helena and they bought a 50 yr. old Amel which they are lovingly restoring.They pulled into SXM yesterday and I recommended they see FKG about getting their masts re-stepped/repaired but if you do run into them-Liz is a very pretty English girl with a charming French BF with wild hair-I just love these guys and since you were based there a few years ago any advise,steering them towards the right people would be much appreciated.Cheers, Debbie

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

I talked to her before she bought the boat, but now we are in BVI.. :)

[@debrasalt3598]

[@gomezadams9900]

As with all forms of extreme sports, there are responsible people and irresponsible people. Drinking and extreme sports don't mix. Luckily no was injured and no property damage occurred this time. But other boaters should be encouraged to do the same things you guys did after watching your video.

[@BeeRich33]

I flipped a dinghy in Canegarden Bay. Holy crap was that scary when you don't realize you're a pancake.

[@SailingSophisticatedLady]

pancake is no fun, Lol

[@BeeRich33]

You learn how to speak very quickly.

[@johnhoffer5429]

Can’t wait Till there is a tariff on all your guys’ fun lol😂

[@jerryforeman4543]

My detective like skills have determined that Sasha left the SSL after SSL284 dated 6/29/18.

[@marcogil4970]
