    Here is a link to the great guided meditations that got me through the passage! I highly recommend. They are a great way to set the tone for a great day 👍

    This was one of my favorite of your videos. After all the (somewhat extensive) refitting, finally you are out at sea and making a crossing. I've seen a lot of sailing videos, but this one really showed me what it's like. I liked all the details: how you sleep, how you make food, and what happens when. I know it's repetitive, but don't underestimate how interesting a day-in-the-life montage can be for those of us on land. In other words, consider more videos showing how a day goes on board. It's interesting to see that there's both "work" and free time. And fortunately time for humor! Keep it up!

    Pre-cooking meals reminds me of the old-fashioned TV dinners and the TV tray. This is back in the 1950s when the TV dinner would be in a tin container and cooked in the oven. Yeah, back in the day there was no microwave, no computer or copy machine, no color tv, 3 channels on the B&W tv, and no whole house air conditioner. Yeah baby, you've come a long way with a rice cooker and frozen pre-made entrees in big "burpable" (or not) plastic containers! You even have a lovely wood table/tray in the cockpit. Bon Appetite for the next month! :¬) Webhead USA

  • @mckenziekeith7434
    @mckenziekeith7434 Год назад +7

    This is a great video! Seems like you guys are doing pretty well. I would recommend you clip in your harness when you are alone in the cockpit. Or really any time you are above decks. Clip somewhere where you can't even fall overboard. You don't want to be towed along in the water by your harness. I do like those AIS MOB beacons, too. But the key thing is not to go overboard in the first place.

    • @SailLife
      @SailLife  Год назад +3

      We usually do try to clip in if we are in the cockpit on our own. We especially always do on our night watch 👍

    "Love you" are the two words people hardly use as apart from loving and caring it's important saying it too. The keep fit has to be a must for "everyone" as it keeps you healthy physically and mentally epically when it only takes so little time in the day. Love you guys and nice one as always. Thank you.

    Safe passage for Ava
    Sea-Fever
    BY JOHN MASEFIELD
    I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
    And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
    And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
    And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

    I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
    Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
    And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
    And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

    I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
    To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
    And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
    And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.Sea-Fever

    Have never crossed an Ocean but sailing up and down the East Coast, as a couple, we found an 8 hr watch rotation worked great. One watch alone , one watch shared. Having spent many years working a four to midnight shift, Ok was very comfortable with a sunset watch. My wife loved a sunup watch. We then shared a sort of normal day together. 16 hours awake, 8 hours sleep. A normal rythme for most folks.

    Try going to soft blue night lighting instead of red. That's what some folks like the US Navy have done for over 20 years after much research.
    Suitably dim white or LED amber light also works, but the strength of the light becomes more important. Blue will not affect your night vision.

    Rice cookers are great! I purchased a $9 one from Walgreen's. The guy who rang up the sale told me to keep track of the receipt because the cheap ones won't last. Well, after eight years of weekly use, it is still working just fine.

From a guy who can burn water being able to put a cup of rice in the rice cooker add the water and push a button then 15 minutes later the alarm sounds and I've got perfectly cooked rice is a miracle.

    I'm surprised that after all the electronic doo-dads and toys Mads installed into Athena using a red headlamp inside is necessary. Every work area inside the boat has red task lights and there are also overhead red lights that illuminate the entire area of the belowdeck cabin areas as well as the cockpit including task lights over the cockpit nav station.
    Perhaps it is just a personal preference to use a headlight so as not to disturb a sleeper but red task lighting over the stove, the galley countertop, the sink, the fridge area, and the interior nav desk like we have seems easier and more convenient when doing chores.

    7 years of sailing around the world and yes, the "gusts" are usually the reality of the wind when you are off shore. My other general rule, is if the forecast is 10 kts or more add 5 kts. If 10 kts or less, subtract 5kts. The higher the wind forecast the more you should add. 30 kts will be closer to 40kts in reality.

    It's so nice when one is shorter than 6.43 foot or 6.03 as me and my partner its so nice seeing how comfy you are with the space given on your boat. When Eva is sitting totally relaxed on this tiny little cockpit cushion and I try to imagine us being unable after a few minutes to find a relaxed seating position on it somehow I guess if we would be on that boat our followers would do so cause it would look like a comedy show which we should name "anchovies afloat"

    Using your life vests even on nice days is probably the smartest thing I've seen all the sailing channels I watch do. I wish some of the younger folks that seem to love to take risks while sailing would start doing this. I don't know if it's being younger and thinking nothing bad can happen or thinking they are bullet proof.
    I wish some of these young sailors would just practice trying to Manuver a boat to be able to turn around and find someone in moderate rolling seas and then how hard it is to get back on board a moving rolling boat . Without a floatation device thier chances of survival in warm water is very slim but in cold hyperthermic water Temps it's next to impossible to survive very long an is next to impossible after being in cold water for any length of time to be able to physically be able to help someone who's trying to get them back on board. A very wise responsible thing to do while sailing alone on your watch.
