great vid... a small tip for your grab bag and in general: make LAMINATED & ELECTRONIC photo copies of all your personal documents in case of loss, theft or emergency, like passport/birth certificate/drivers license/vaccination passport/credit cards/bank cards/insurance docs.... basically any paperwork you think might be of value... takes a bit of effort to maintain the data, but its well worth it

Bon voyage! As a child I had a fantasy of sailing around the world. I didn’t think then that I couldn’t actually do it because of my disability, but all these years later I remain an avid armchair sailor. I have many books of sailing adventures, and now I am following a sailing adventure on video. Thanks for bringing me along.

I could not do it, to say good bye for a long time. Wrong, I did do it. I said good bye to my parents and hopped on Pan Am Clipper to America, not to see my parents for 3 years, until I had permanent residency in America. That was 30 years ago. And I never regretted it, it was the best thing in my life. But I did miss out on a lot of family interaction, even though my twice a year visits back to Europe were really special each time. Maybe I could not do it anymore, at my age. What a great video.

Safe travels - bizarre though it might seem, depending on where you're going having a printer/photocopier on board might be useful - lots of places will expect lots of copies of your passports etc. etc. so being able to print them off rather than have to go and hunt it all down could be useful!
@leonaessens43992 жыл бұрын
I very much agree. Something I simply did not consider early on in my own (now distant) sailing past. The amount of paperwork that goes with life on the water is astounding, and rather unexpected - at least in my own case. But yes, a printer/photocopier will be very handy if not a necessity. Everywhere you go you will be asked for "papers" and if you can give them copies instead of the originals you will save yourself a lot of potential headaches! It used to amaze me how cavalier port authorities often are with your documents, even losing them. It's always a good feeling if you can just print up a dozen (or more!) copies of all your personal documents as well as those pertaining to the boat, and put the originals in a safe place. I remember agonising about what would be the best "safe place", putting them in a plastic bag hanging near the companionway at first, and eventually deciding the grab bag might be even better.

For the grab bag: Waxed dental floss makes great sewing repair jobs. Already water proof and strong. I have mended many a jacket with this up in Alaska. I even had a surgical sewing kit, but at least get one small upholstery curved needle. That, too, comes in handy. A few cheap hats and sunglasses. I would even go as far as getting silly sunglasses to lighten the mood. Small 8x40 binoculars. If room, a small sea anchor to help stabilize the raft, or something to drag behind the raft with line to help in heavy seas and wind. Small sea anchors are cheap and easy to stow and come with line handy for other things. But the binoculars are handy, being able to see distances when floating in a raft, which we hope won't be necessary, is a plus. Anyway, looks like you got a smart list there.

Someone may have mentioned this, but fresh water is less dense than saltwater, so a couple of jerry cans of drinking water can also be thrown overboard with the life raft and grab bag, if the unthinkable happens, and gives you an extra supply of drinking water in addition to the relatively small amount in the bag.

@@TeuluTribe Knots in tape can be ok, if you use the correct knot - there's really only one, called (not surprisingly) the tape knot or water knot. Best way I've seen of making safety lines is to get a sailmaker to sew loops on the ends once you've measured very carefully. These can then be girth hitched around a cleat at either end of the boat. For extra credit use nylon webbing, soak it before sewing the loop in the 'other' end, then sew it and put in place. As it dries the nylon will shrink and it will get tighter. Not really necessary though, and means you do have to wet the line to put it on or remove it. And you will want to remove them when not needed, they will get sun affected. Obviously quite dependent on deck layout etc; none of this is actually my preferred way to run safety lines. But to Oom Wat's original point, yes, don't trust regular knots in flat webbing.
