    Four thousand miles sailing on the Thula they are ready to hula, land ho, land ho, what a way to go. Two shipmates with dolphins saying we know you’re alright when you’re out of sight in Germany, remembering all those magnificent sights. Those amazing creatures are wonderful teachers. They teach us that God exists though many insist saying nay nay no way. But in a way its not God who finds us it’s we who find Him, sometimes at sea if we have wise eyes to see . 💒

    Hi Guys, nice video of a long trip! The helicopter is from Panama and is a civilian registry model Robinson R44 Clipper I. The range of these is only a couple hundred miles at most so must be from a ship. I agree with the guy who commented on leaving your winch handles in, watched a lewmar fall out, skip across the deck and into the atlantic once. Expensive lesson to learn. Fair winds!

      And, if the pawls break, the handle will break 'whatever' it spins around into. They're only held in place by little springs.

    Great vlog. Helicopters at sea are from tuna boats and have short lifespan because captains are only interested in tuna worth ‘0000’s each and will leave helicopter stranded to catch them. Helicopter pilots buzzing touring sail boats are only interested in sunbathers.

    Great job of sailing 4000 miles despite taking 40 days....at least you have a flexible schedule and stayed safe! That was an inspiring generator repair and sail recovery repair! What would you add in packing your provisions for future Pacific crossings? How much water did you bring and how much was left? Thanks!

    • @rogeranderson8763
      @rogeranderson8763 4 года назад

      I was on a different boat back in 1981-82, (A Herreshoff Marco Polo 'Valkyrie) and we had 200 gallons of fresh water. There are plenty of rain squalls in the trades....so we arrived in the Marquesas with full tanks. That was the year of the first recorded El Nino....and there were 7 hurricanes....there had not been one in the area for 40 years. Friends of ours were lost on the trip down to Papeete, we had left the Marquesas a week earlier than they did, so had a nice sail down. Took two direct hits from cat 2 storms while we were there, one of which we were one of only two survivors in the anchorage....everyone else broke their 3/8" chain and went on the beach. Being a larger boat, we used 1/2" and did ok. Blew all the paint off the fronts of the masts though. Sure would like to know where Valkyrie is these days.

    • @ThulaSailing

    • @ThulaSailing
      @ThulaSailing  3 года назад +1

      Thanks! As you have no fresh veggies left after 1.5 weeks and the body needs quite some energy doing night shifts all the time, one fish or two won‘t hurt as we only take what we need. Also for us it’s not easy killing a fish but it‘s also really challenging if you have no supermarket around the corner. I guess the big illegal fishing fleets are a slightly bigger problem 😉

    Das ist ein Video wie ich es mir wünsche: Einfach nur segeln und ohne jedwede moralische Belehrung.
    Kleiner Tipp von Eric Hiscock: Eier halten ohne ausreichende Kühlung mehrere Monate(!) , wenn man sie mit Vaseline luftdicht einschmiert.
    Nur für den Fall das Ihr noch mal so einen langen Trip unternehmt:)
    Dazu das Thema Generator: Es ist kein Fehler den Motor hin und wieder zum laden der Batterien zu nehmen, denn die salzhaltige Luft findet ihren Weg ja auch in den Antriebsmotor.
    Alles in allem ein fantastisches Video. Gibt es einen besseren Test für eine Beziehung? Ihr seid spitze!

    • @ThulaSailing
      @ThulaSailing  3 года назад +1

      This is how the cookie crumbles nowadays in Equador. You pay over 800$ for National Parc fee, the agents are quite pricey (you need to take one), we would have needed extra technical equipment, your hull must be clean&your boat fumed (if you call it that way) with certificate. All this adds up to quite a bit. Some fees are quite understandable to keep the special environment intact, with some fees you ask yourself if they are really fair rates as you can hardly move your boat around the islands anyways. But for sure it will always stay a unique place, maybe better to be travelled to by airplane though?
