💕💕Good to see you again sailing and wearing your life preserver while underway. Too many RUclipsrs need to set safety as more of a priority. Keep Sailing safe.
As a sailor for decades...we lost our keys a few times, and one time not so lucky that anything wanted to open, we slept outside in toxedo and gala dress, Not the best experience in 37 degrees C. Next morning I was lucky to remember that I kept a key in my office, and we got that send to us. Meanwhile staying in a hotel as we could not get in. It proofed the boat was well protected. After that we created a secret spot, waterproof and invisible for others, not going to say here. But it happened again we just opened the key safe and opened the boat.
What kind of chain hook are you using for the bridle? Do you like it? Have you tried using a soft shackle and if so what do you think of the pros/cons?
Kong Chain Gripper, it was delivered with the boat. So far so good. We have used a soft shackle in the past but you have to feed it through a 10mm chain link so it's not the easiest. I want to switch back to the Mantus snubber pendant. We had this on our first boat and liked it a lot. Easy to install and remove, and you can use it on the rope when you need a lot more chain. I bought one pre-delivery but cannot find it anywhere on the boat. I know the day I'm going to buy another one I'll find the missing one :-)
Been following you from the beginning. Great to see you back on the water. I will be in Grenada/SV&G on our FP Astréa 42 ‘Aquarelle’ Dec. 7-16. Are Customs & Immigration offices operating in Tyrell Bay and Union Island? Would be fun to cross paths if you’re still in the area then. Fair winds!
We will be in the Grenadines until at least Christmas so there is a very good chance we could cross path. Keep an eye on NoForeignLand and SeaPeople for our location. Yes, Customs & Immigration offices are operating both at Tyrell Bay (checking out tomorrow) and Union Island (per our friends).
We have a ‘see something, say something’ culture on our boat so it’s encouraged for crew to ask questions. Communication is critical. As for trust, it takes pretty epic level of trust to quit your job, purge 90% of your belongings, leave your family, spend a zillion dollars on a boat and cross oceans with someone don’t you think? 😎👍🏻
Unfortunately not, we had a haulout date to respect and once we were in the water we made the decision to sail to Grenada to continue preparing the boat.

I liked your video 😊
Thank you!
Enjoy that you are back. I used to live in northern California (Marin, Sonoma) and had a sailboat in Pelican Harbour Sausalito.

Nine out of ten people say they love chocolate. The tenth is lying.
💯!!!
Hey, hide a key on deck somewhere - maybe you’ll need someone to get in while you’re not aboard.
That was definitely one big takeaway from this experience 👍

@ thank you for the reply! So kind! SeaPeople, perfect.
I hope Holly learns to trust Stephan more, this sailing season.

You guys didn't do anything fun inTrinidad? You said you would.
