    This is what UA-cam is all about. An honest person telling his story as he experiences it. No over dramatized fuzz just your experience and reflections. I enjoy your videos immensely. Thank you so much for sharing. Best regards from Jarle

    You do a fantastic job of filming the wave action and boat movement. It is really hard to get that on video.

    Hey Mr. Lonely, I think you're not sleeping enough and stressing yourself out too much, which isn't healthy in the long run. Treat yourself to wellness on land and relax! All the best!

      Thanks cardinal. It's sometimes about finding out what works. After this I found better ways to enter my dinghy in rough weather.

      Thank you dc! I didn't change the original volume of the music - only in parts to make it quieter. Sorry for having annoyed you.

      Yes. I found the windows too big with only 6 mm glas. So I put clear plastic 10 mm outside.

    Who is the maker of your red sail?

    • @SailingAloneAcrossTheOcean
      @SailingAloneAcrossTheOcean  Рік тому

      Oh. That's how the boat came with when I bought it - see reykja.ch/en/2020/01/08/find-ideal-yacht/ . The sails are made in Fehmarn, Baltic sea. In Guadeloupe the sailmaker told me that he would have to order such cloth. But it should be possible to get it.
