    Reminds me of my ocean time in Florida keys.
    When the Gulf was in visibility was 100+ feet, insanely clear water.
    Leaning over the boat looking down made one feel like you would fall 100 feet....Yikes.
    For your solar needs check out Sailing Uma on UA-cam videos......Dan is a whizz at solar installation.
    Food for thought.
    Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!

    Only recently got interested in sailing, although I am from a big sailing nation. Actually from the country where your boat was made. (Denmark) I've watched a few channels, and learned that I am not interested in Instagram/influencer type personalities, fancy catamarans and the sort. Until last week I didn't know who you were, or your quirky dry sense of humor. I had never heard of a boat type called a grinde, which means pilotwhale in danish btw. Didn't know there was a smaller version of the boat either called "Spækhugger" which means Orca, that there was a bigger version too called a "Kaskelot" meaning spermwhale. But here I am a week later, having watched multiple of your episodes, learned that you can cross the pacific in a 28' boat (mindblown) with no mod cons, and all alone! (mind blown again) i feel this sense of pride watching you go about everything with a smile and a dry joke, and I don't have the first clue who you are. This channel is so barebones and yet some of the best UA-cam i've watched. Thank you, and be safe. (I know you are)

      @@donnasummer6285 They work when you have a boat that can sail fast. Usually they are most effective above 7 knots, they do drag so you need to be able to sail ~0,5-1knot faster. They are very expensive and need a specific mount on the stern. Not all boats have the real estate for it. When they work it is a very good power source. I wouldn't rely on my power with that many moving components.

      I know that in Trinidad and Tobago where I am based cruisers haven't been allowed back in since last March which is really just horrible and I certainly feel for them. Also, even locals aren't allowed back in very easily so it's not like we can sail out the foreigners boats and then come back home. It's an utter mess!
