It's almost like she his daughter

@@krokodilegrundee5101 It’s almost like it’s not his daughter. They look nothing alike lmaoo.

Yes I did have a piping foot. The reason I did it the way I did (at least my thought process) Was I did not want a solid color on the face of the rear cushion.

Howdy howdy! Been sailing Are you in Michigan

@@saltlessshakedowns4999 we're on lake Huron heading to Bay City we are in Saginaw Bay at the moment we're working our way up around the top after we leave Bay City New Holland Michigan to complete our America's Great loop

He miss spoke. It was 7 knots

Yeah. That was me :( I learned a lot from that experience, especially anchoring in Frankfort. I added 300' to my existing 140' of rode and chain. Now, when in doubt, I let waaaay more out. I am thinking of adding a rode weight as well to hold down the line so it pulls straight during heavy winds. Any thoughts on this? Here is some additional information about that night you may not be aware of: My marina neighbor was solo sailing outside the Frankfort harbor in that storm. He had some issue and ended up on the sandbar. He secured the boat and swam to shore. Next day his boat sank as soon as they freed it from the bar... I guess I was lucky :)

@@saltlessshakedowns4999 how much chain do you have?

@@saltlessshakedowns4999 we have 150’ of chain however, if we had less we would use rode weight.

@@controllerwarrior4455 only 20' because I do not have a windlass.

@@controllerwarrior4455 And that is what I am thinking. How heavy is your boat and how heavy of a weight would you use? I am thinking 15lbs max would be needed.

Not yet

Yes. I am steeped in home remodeling projects. I should start posting again as I get near the end. Stay tuned

It is one of those West Marine Captain chairs. Kinda pricey there should be a cheaper alternative out there. I do like the chair when sitting n it but it is a pain and always in the way when I am not. I replaced the chairs with cockpoit cushions and it is a better solution IMHO. www.westmarine.com/west-marine-go-anywhere-high-back-seat-2-20689444.html

I used the old cushions which had vinyl covers. Sail right is the place to go. They will show you how to measure. Cutting the foam is the difficult part. You want it clean and straight. I failed on the one I had to cut so figure that out. Watch the videos get a good sewing machine and take your time. Also, use the piping. Actually makes it easier. Mine look good but there are so many mistakes. I want to do it again because I know I can do better. Make the back cushions too. My crew and I love these! Best thing I ever have done.

@@saltlessshakedowns4999 Thank you so much for the information!! I really appreciate it. Thanks for the great video!!

You are so right!!

I think I had a couple problems. A viewer pointed out how my fender may have influenced the action and I also noticed it is hard to find the real neutral on this transmission. When I bought the boat I notice a ribbon on the axle so I think the previous owner had the same problem. I am getting better at hitting neutral and the boat seems to back better now. Still awful but now manageable.

You don't even know the half of it. I was in like 8 footers yesterday with the rando 10 to 12 footer. I listed over 50 degrees a few times. And I had to go forward to secure the Genoa during this! Thank you Anastasia for the harness!!

I saw the fender but I do not think it grabbed hard enough but maybe so.

Yes. I like what you have to say and I will practice when I have the opportunity. Almost 100% anchoring and mooring now so it will be far and few opportunities. I have tried stern in a couple of times and it was just not predictable enough, so I always abandoned it. Your technique seems like the way for sure! Thank you for your advice and especially your understanding!

I usually travel with the dinghy lifted. I go so much faster. I have been in some 6 ~ 8 footers with it up with the surfer coming up to the bottom of the dink.

You should do some research on the Great Lakes. How long have you been sailing?

I actually was able to get out easily but it admittedly would have been easier if I was not stubborn in my plan. Not making any excuses just making video.

If you are ever back in MI come sailing Bro!!

Well that put a smile on my face!

My favorite shades until I get the real Ray Bans :)

That sounds awesome. I may be up your way in a week. Not sure, depends on which way the wind blows :)

You would have looked wayyy cooler with a Coho on :)

It is at least 10.5 feet and frankly way to large for the boat. I would recommend something smaller with less over hang.

Now my Schedule is full up. Heading on a two week cruise in July and probably all of August. How late in the season do you sail?

@@saltlessshakedowns4999 sail till we haul in October

Dude it is very nice. And I smell perty after my morning Showa.

I have a story about backing out of Torresen's and my son leaving one of the lines attached. Never trust anyone :)
