    That was a smart move putting a coat on . I would never have thought to do that . Guess thats why you're sailing and I sit and watch. You are a brave wind hippy ... stay safe keep up the smart sailing....

      I don't watch channels if they have money lol. I'm planning to buy a boat myself and I'm going to be poor, I'm not going to learn anything from rich people. My water maker is never going to break because I won't have one, I watch people who have the same problems and solutions I expect to have.

    That lone fisherman reminds me of the castaway, Jose Alvarenga, who was lost at sea on his fishing skiff for more than a year. I couldn't do it, I just don't think my body would hold up. It's amazing how humans seek the distant shores of the world, and now off of it!

    A very interesting update. I was on watch about 11pm -200 miles east of Equador on the way to the Galapagos when I hit a net. We were moving about 9 kts so we were lucky and skipped right over it, but when I hit the float line it shook and lit up a line of bioluminescence in both directions that looked like torpedoes. Freaked me out at first. Thanks for the adventure videos.

    tending lines is keeping you well, you are looking healthy, happy and fit for the task at hand .
    Loved your neat little patch , the stich work was so even ,maybe you should grab some reeds or palm leaves n try your hand at a hat or basket .
    Oh ,, one thing i remember from Survival at Sea classes was that all silver fish with scales are safe to eat ,, but as you know ,, check for bacteria .
    Great to see your mega vessle gliding onward at 6 notts or more , you will soon be doing a second lap of the globe .
    Go go go,,,,

    • @budbuddybuddest
      @budbuddybuddest 4 роки тому +2

      Jib downhauls are great. Snug down tight holds it firmly down. My boat is a cutter, so 2 headsails (2 "jibs"). Hank-on. My lightweight downhaul lines, and halyards are all led to cockpit so its easy quick safe to raise and lower, all from safety of cockpit. Super easy and cheap to install.

    What a sailor I’ve seen you become, as an older guy u make me want to chuck it all and sail away. Not around the world maybe but the Caribbean for sure. Maybe next step is a boat? It’s just been so long since my last baby step into the world that I’m not sure of again! But u make me motivated so maybe.Have fun BE safe and buy a fake mustache and beard lol.

    And again my wife knows you as the girl by herself. I am glad that you avoided that net also. Would have been bad to dive on it and find out what was eating his catch while trying to get free. I know that one first hand, as a long line fisherman back in the day. The captain backed down on our long line. No one could hold their breath long enough to cut it off the prop. After 2 minutes of me being under water they all panicked. I came up for a breath and went back down. That's when I had a real scare. But you will have to watch my channel for the rest of the story.
