My wife and I are in Seattle, planning on taking the big left turn in 2 years. We have a couple dogs and a cat. What's the experience traveling with them? BTW I love your videos. The music and editing are good!

Great episode

❤❤

At the beginning of my cruising life I would have chosen a boat very like this as my ideal boat. Now, 40 years and 206,000 miles later my ideas have changed radically. I really now dislike skeg hung rudders as skegs are very diffucult to fabricate and tend to be much weaker than intended. Its much easier to design and make a very good spade rudder. That most boats with spade rudders are not well designed or built is a different issue. I like light displacement boats that perform well and to some extent speed is safety: if the boat is very fast in good conditions its usually still performing safely fast in poor conditions. There is definitely a need to have some level of safe performance to windward in both very light and very heavy weather, and this is a test which many cruising boats fail. Light wind performance is crucial to safety. I have more than a few times had to sail to safety in 4-6 knots of wind with a diesel that wont cooperate, usually due to fuel issues, but once with a sheared shaft coupling. I have settled eventually on a Sundeer 60. Despite the length it isnt much bigger than your boat, just longer. Its light, narrow and low, but has 6'10" headroom. Its easy to sail with a small rig and light displacement and I frequently singlehand the boat including docking with no thruster. The bow and stern are immersed at rest so the bow does not blow off quickly. In addition the rudder is oversized which gives full authority at 0.7-1 knot . The rig is identical mast height and area to a Hanse 430. The boat has two watertight bulkheads with no through hull fittings between them. The tanks are glassed in around the waterline on either side and both water and fuel can be moved to the windward side for long legs giving around 4⁰ less heel. In the last two years I have done around 19,000 miles at an average of 202 miles per day. About a third of those miles were downwind in the trades, the rest are mixed with some forays almost down to the sub-antarctic. wavetrain.net/2011/12/26/sundeer-60-an-ideal-bluewater-cruising-boat/

Was tensioning your forestay the right thing to do? It will tend to move the masthead forward and the lowers will prevent the middle of the mast moving which then means the mast will take prebend the wrong way, making the main fuller and the leach tighter. Is that what you wanted? To simply increase forestay tension normally the backstay is tightened, or at least both.

All the best you guys

Love your videos Rob & Nancy ❤ from 🇨🇦 BC

Are you going to around DR between Dec 25 and Jan 26

You need to eliminate the engine noise. Will improve your very good content.

How much was the air bnb for 3 weeks?

What is with the radome swaying around at 17:59?

N/ne is Hispaniola. With the trades that is a beam reach, more or less. So this window has a reasonable backup.

😀😀😀👍👍👍❤❤❤

Safe sailing guys..looking forward to the next vid as always!🌞

Great video, respectfully suggesting Curacao as a good stop for any future passages.

Oh the sadness of leaving your buddy boats! I choke up every time ❤

I really want to sail to Cartagena after seeing what you guys have shown of the city. Also, I really hope you pinned the forestay before you put back together…

LOL, love the end

I'm back at it, having taken a break-vacation, life, work-and I look forward to following your journey again.

Hi Mike and Taylor, its good to see you again, I was born and raised in Cartagena, but I dont live there anymore, I moved out of the city in 1989 when I traveld to NYC, and without purposing I stayed there in the USA altogether for 23 years of my life. I am now back living in my home country of Colombia, but now I have settled in the city of Bogota though. I hope you guys had a good time in my hometown, rgs

Well that was fun 🎉🎉🎉 Kinda like you, never thought Cartagena would be soooooo wonderful. Definitely will have to stop there. Thanks for sharing. See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨

Thanks for another great video! The boat looks great. Also, nice to see you guys get to enjoy some land life. Is there an additive you could have put in the biodegradable fuel?

Awesome video you two! We will be in DR Dec 25th for a month! pick us UP Please! ❤ from 🇨🇦BC

Wow. Taylor looking stunning. Boat looks great, have fun guys

Wait due dude, I’m in Seattle, 🤔well Everett. I’m happy you’re not doing those labor jobs too. Work sucks lol 😂

What a fabulous adventure ❤

Don't know how close to real time this is but if you're headed to the Eastern Carib, the window is OPEN!

I love watching your adventures ... thanks for sharing...

Awesome video! Looking forward to the next episode!

We where there by plane for 2 months in may, my wife is from Cartagena. In late january we cross the Atlantic aboard our Black Pearl 🏴‍☠️⛵ towards Caribbean then Cartagena again, i loved it 🏰🤩 recognized many places on your video 💪🏼 Regards form Tenerife Canary Islands 🙏🏼🍻⚓🌎🏴‍☠️⛵

That’s awesome. I’ll be in Cartegna in a little over a week. Really great video!

I live in Colombia and love Cartagena. I love to stay in the old city. One thing it’s HOT and I mean HOT. 🥵

"...look at those snappers!"

Informative video. Curacao may be the best hurricane hole on the planet, perhaps considering it for 2025.

do t use bleach use cheap white vinegar. for the loos use baking soda and vinegar. leave it in the loo and pump out slowly. continue this over a few days . cleans the lines a treat . no bleach

I wish i could pull myself from civilization and do what you guys do. I'm live in Seattle and have four years until retirement. My plan is to head down the coast. Do you guys have any suggestions on purchasing a sail boat that I can live on, I'm thinking about a catamaran? I Love your channel, you guys are beautiful!

❤️u

We are hear and watching ❤ from 🇨🇦 BC love it!

What a difference a few decades makes. The movie "Romancing the Stone" was centered around Cartagena, but most of it was shot in Mexico due to the high cartel crime in Columbia. It is so nice to see such a beautiful city recovered. Maybe someday, some American cities will be as well. This was a great video, guys. Thank you so much, and say hello to Lucy and Penny. They are troopers and true sailors.
