    How long does it take to fix a kill cord to your wrist? Three seconds? How long does it take to realise that all have been tossed out of the boat and it is now coming back at you with a vengeance? Three seconds?

      I get the feeling that you'd make an excellent news reporter. The only way anyone would exit our dinghy while underway with our miniscule 2.5hp motor would be if they stood up and voluntarily leapt over the gunnel. Of course I suppose there's always the risk of being knocked over by a tsunami or attacked by a kraken - either of which would be equally likely to occur as our being spontaneously ejected by the unbridled power of a wayward 2.5hp outboard.

      Nah, not me. It would seem to me that those who go through life expecting the unexpected would live a depressing existence. I expect the expected - the natural results of my actions. The unexpected stuff we sort out as needed. If you were to take note of how pleasantly and without incident things have gone for us throughout the last 7 years, to me it would seem simple for one to conclude that the decisions we make must be pretty good.

      You know, I really thought about adding a slap there, I even started to, but then it seemed to break up the flow of the underwater segment too much. Fear not - there will still be plenty of slaps in future episodes, I'm sure.

    So glad you got to experience Bell's Island. It was our favorite anchorage in the Bahamas. Many of our boat pics were taken there. Tambi should know that Johnny Depp's place was North of the property you mentioned. Many people who anchor in Bell's water get to meet Capt. Jack.

    • @Sailboatstory
      @Sailboatstory  Рік тому +1

      It's a sweet spot, particularly nice in a Westerly blow. Tambi would freak out if she could meet Cap'n Jack. We've tried before... trespassed a little on his island for about 7 seconds, but the Cap'n was nowhere to be found at the time. Perhaps he was in search of rum.

    • @Sailboatstory
      @Sailboatstory  Рік тому +1

      The designed says the safe capacity is 500lbs. We've been pushing the limits lately with the combination of carrying more stuff like scuba gear and also the fact that Molly is getting heavier. We'll quite likely change to a different dinghy so that we can have more range and more load carrying capacity. This one is amazing, we're just outgrowing it and it's starting to become a safety concern at times.
