Familiar waters, but sailing in and out of the harbors remains a challenge | Ep. 219

- I am anchor down in Tarpaulin Cove, on Vineyard Sound, six days out of Beaufort, NC. That was not without a struggle, though. Had to beat into brisk NE winds, and then fight the flooding current to get to Tarpaulin. But after some rest I am treated to a glorious beam reach across Buzzards Bay to visit my friend Chris in Padanaram. Padanaram presents a challenge to the engineless sailor, as it is not only crowded, but there are many expensive, classic yachts moored there as well. The price of a mistake could be ruinous.

Always the best! Too many sailors and want to be sailors want to eliminate all adverse situations from the activity. Kevin faces ot all with consummate skill and with the levelheaded attitude of a true professional....Safe travels North
Another fantastic video.
Thanks Kevin, nice shots of the three boats sailing and some nice sunny moods, cheers
As an Irishman with strong New England family connections it’s great to see you back home Kevin. Also great that you are now 30k subs - best sailing channel on UA-cam so here’s to many more.
Thanks for stopping by, Geoff, and subscribing to the channel!
Nice to see you having a relaxing run downwind!
I absolutely love the episodes when you’re in my neck of the woods, buzzards bay is truly a playground for sailors
Impressive mooring skills to the uninitiated! Cheers!!
Thank You for sharing the wonderful sailing with us. SWEEEEEET!
4:05, looks like the Corwith Cramer of Woods Hole 🙂
Loved the drone shots of Ruth Avery, such a pretty boat! Sailing up to the mooring was sweet.
Beautiful.
We had a twenty foot sail that we sailed up to our mooring. Maneuvering without the head sail when sailing up to a mooring makes it much harder to time the last move. Also if the mooring is missed it is harder to get the boat to fall off and repower without the head sail. I know you do it so the fore deck is clear for the pick up. I appreciate your angst during the procedure because a miss is harder to recover from without the head sail.
My eternal gratitude for editing out the footage of me sailing all the way across the bay with a farmer flag (fender) hanging over side.
Ha! Forgot about that.
We've al done it :) ... so looked like your boat is an Alberg 35? I sail one on the Chesapeake out of Baltimore.
Yes sir. 1966 #229. Moved aboard in 1990 and have forgotten how to sleep on land!
you are awesome
Looked as if you had some 'Champagne sailing' across Buzzard Bay, a fast point of sail and fairly flat water. I did think that another reef whilst taking the mooring ball would have been wise, but hey, you handled situation superbly as usual.
Cool drone footage
Glad you liked it, Susan!
Loved watching you sail up to the mooring. I. Do that regularly and it’s always an adventure.
Indeed. Never the same twice, so you never quite learn it.
what's your usual plan B if you undershoot the mooring ... in a crowded anchorage, without a handy motor running?? @@howtosailoceans1423
Sailing ... you loose some, then you loose some more sometimes you might loose a little less. If you by any chance shuld vinn some, you know that you are about to loose some more. The funny thing is .. in spite of this you always gain some ... best regards
stem to stern sailing
A cliffhanger!
Ha!
Wow Concordia Yawl’s are absolutely gorgeous boats! Definitely don’t want to brush up against one of those!!
Or crash into one ...
Thanks for the very good tips. I recently had trouble with a mooring without engine, too strong wind, too many expensive boats. It's really an art form I have a small trolling motor which helps sometimes, yet in the end the sails are ones main power. If you are interested in electric sailing, i made a few videos on that ...
👍👍🤘🤘
" I don't see anybody... at the wheel" What could go wrong with that scenario? I'm just down below making a
ham & cheese sandwich for myself, looks out the starboard port hole- see's RA on his beam approaching.
Frustration when sailing against the current- like that's never happened before. An exercise in futility sometimes.
A force water landing for the drone- that... typically doesn't go well for drones. U don't say there Kevin?
And it also means I'm gonna have to tack the boat into the narrow whineding harbor..
in true HtSO cliffhanger fashion- we'll leave that till the next episode.
Hey Kevin: at the section starting from 3:04 to about 3:40, you tack and then keep the Genoa back-winded w/ an eased _windward_ working sheet dragging over the cabin top, leaving the leeward sheet lazy. Is this just a convenient compromise for a short tack, sail shape be dammed?
That was the sudden windshift from the SW coming in. Took me a minute to get things sorted.
Lovely ... what boat is your friend Chris sailing?
Alberg 35.
✌
+1
your pal Chris is sailing a pearson vanguard?
Alberg 35.
Big fan ... Fyi the begining of the video with all the wind noise .. well you may as well not be talking for all I can understand of it. Just saying :)
First at last
Congratulations 👍
I see Corwith Cramer, my ship! @seasemester
Ah yes, that was in Quick's Hole.
