@@marcryvon, I live inland in Oklahoma, central U.S. and there's not much opportunity for offshore sailing here. Used to keep a small 22-foot boat on a nearby lake. The wife and I have bareboated 44-foot sloops in the Virgin Islands, but that's the closest we've come to offshore sailing. These two seem made for the adventure and for each other. It is a pleasure watching them work together toward common goals. Steve

They are so lively, happy, respectful of each other, talented in so much ways that I stopped to count. Just can't wait for next episode. I wonder what will they be encountering as the covid-19 makes its way through their adventure. I'm a bit worried, I must admit. But they are so resourceful.

​@@stellarpod There are trailerable trimarans. Keeping a boat on the hard will give your boat a long life. Stay away from Neel trimarans. Those boat have a shocking bad build quality, e.g. you would have to worry whether a step down to the interior of the boat will collapse under you or not - it's that bad (See the "Sailing Ruby Rose" Neel review)

It thrills my heart to see you have such a peaceful sail there. My daddy was shot down over the English Channel, and was the only survivor from his B17. Floated around 3 days in a raft. He could see ships, but the fog kept him from identifying allies from axis, so he couldn’t approach them. He finally washed up on a French beach. A French fisherman got him to the Underground, which got him back to the U.S. armed forces.

And Dan is obviously a 1st class sailor and has some genuinely interesting things to say.

We were given an anchor chain washer that is similar to a boot brush, but it clips over the chain, then slides down into the water and is held with a small weight, so it scrubs the chain below the water as it comes up. I haven't actually tried it yet, as I still use the method of rapidly pulling the chain up/down by hand a few times (ahead of the windlass) for the last few feet to wash the anchor and chain, which works ok.

@GeneRossano

Back in 1976 or 77 I had a stainless steel stove put in the main salon of my new Challenger 35, Full keel, barn door rudder. We backed it up to the wooden bulkhead to the Salon & toilet/shower that it was mounted on with, at that time, an 1/8" asbestos sheet which worked perfectly to protect the bulkhead. The stove was about 24" high and about 6" square. It took a little experimenting but we got it to function perfectly either under way or at anchor or dockside. To get it going we first put in a little paper, any kind including old napkins or bags, then on top of the paper we put a few dried twigs and depending on how long and how hot we wanted to get it we either put some small broken up driftwood or pea coal and away we went. It could pull the chill out of the cabin in a jiff. my 11 and 7 year old could handle the stove. Great memories of snowy mornings either in April or October or November on Lake Ontario, NY and Canada.

Heyo! I’m gonna be buying my own yacht pretty soon, it’s a 31 foot ferrocement double ended that my late uncle built from the ground up when Zimbabwe was still Rhodesia. Is there any advice you have for refitting the interior as well as how to properly nape this the running and standing rigging?

That sounds like a great Yacht! All the best to you and your Late Uncle's Yacht! I'm positive he would be so happy to know that you are keeping her in the water! I have a hunch he knows! Very cool!

Make sure you get the hull surveyed and if insurance is important to you make sure it is insurable at a reasonable price. Many are not insuring ferro cement.

Start your own KZbin channel and believe me you'll get all the advice you ever wanted. Never mind the fancy stuff and just video your question. For starters just a walk through and around so we can see the boat. It's really easy to set one up.

Hi Robert - we lived in Zimbabwe in 1983-84 and the guy next door was building a ferro-cement yacht. Was that your uncle? Fairbairn Drive.

Dan, when your co-captain says, "When she gets back to the Caribbean she is going to go naked all the time" your response is supposed to be, "Course change prepare to come about!"

got to wonder why it would take returning to the Caribbean. Weather in Europe is quite warm enough for half of the year at least :) Guess they're so used to tropical island life by now that anything under 25C is too cold for them, lol

Did you have time to do some regen tests with the OV motor already ? We want to see the results ! :) Btw, small administrative remark : The UK has never been part of the Shengen "space", Shengen and the EU are two different things, Switzerland is part of it for instance, although not an EU member (same for Norway). (besides we know why you are going to NL, to get some good weed, no need to hide that ;) )

Ripening gas from bananas, apples and mangos lead to decay and desiccation of other fruits. If possible keep them at a separate place.

New to the channel and I already love it. Very interesting video from the start to the end. I enjoyed it very much, every secound of it.

Definitely I will look at the previouse once to know you better. Good luck in the foreseeable future. Thx, I felt that as well spent time :) See you next time.
