- The long-awaited haul-out is happening. It has been six years since the last haul in Ensenada. There are no facilities in the Marquesas or the Marshall Islands. It has been only dive-scrubbing in those two places. I am happy to say that this haul-out went like clock work - great. Please enjoy the video.

Ahaluna looks amazing!! I still can’t believe you hand built this boat in the 70’s and have living in her ever since! You sir are a legend!! Be safe out there and thanks for sharing!
The bottom of my hull looks worse! I can't get over what a beautiful boat that is. I want to see more videos of how you do daily activities and how you use lines and such for tasks, like offloading your dingy. I know we can all learn so much from you.
Amazing good condition - what a fantastic ship, just like you are, Sir. A perfect couple. All best wishes, watching you is inspiring for a now 63 year old, thank you.
They did a terrific job. She looks great, and that was a pretty good turn around. I wish I could build a cabin on my Morgan but at 29.5Ft Im going to have to settle with a hard dodger. maybe next year. love the vids. you're an inspiration.
Impressive!
What an amazing vessel.. she's what dreams are full of.. you obviously are a skilled craftsman or she wouldn't have held up this many decades in such wonderful shape..
Beautiful vessel sir
Love your posts and listening to your knowledge and experience, you have the most amazing yacht. Thank you for the up dates.
I enjoy your videos and I would enjoy my single life on a sail boat. I’m setting myself up for it now! Maybe one day we can meet!
She looks amazing 👌🏻
Thank you for the Video. Beautiful Hull Shape.
She looks great with the cleaning and new paint. It's always good not to get any surprises when paying the bill.
Looks like you employ one hand for the boat, good practice.
Iakwe Peter and jeramman and Hi from the Marshall Islands, V7X-61. I hope you will be visit to Majuro very soon. Thanks, Thomas V7X61👍
Iakwe Thomas, so great to hear from you! I plan to sail back to the Marshall Islands, leaving Mexico in a couple of weeks or so. All the Best of 73s - Peter N4JCY
You and Ahaluna are something else and just amazing. I was just wondering why you built such a large boat. It would seem to me that it would be less expensive, less time consuming and still give you enough room to live in comfort with something in the 40' range.
At haul-out time everyone wishes they had a twenty footer.
I own or rent nothing on terra firma except the rental of a mailbox smaller than a shoe box. The intention was to live on board with my wife for the rest of our lives. Sadly my wife passed more than six years ago. The idea was to live in comfort with room for all the tools I built Ahaluna with and many more, have ample room for diving and photo gear, room for very many books (before Kindle and hard drives), and two sewing machines, my late wife having been a sewing wizard. I hope this answers your question.
@@AncientMariner IMHO it's hard to go full time on anything under 40'. 45' seems the smallest boat to hold my tools, wife, and dogs. Someone might do it at the dock, with a vehicle or trailer for storage and easy access to amenities, or a house, apartment, or storage shed. Love the boat and videos. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sir, I noticed you haven't posted in a while, hope all is well with you. - Sailors Rory and Amy, Seattle, WA.
I also use a CQR as my main anchor. Have you considered a newer generation type? I thought the growth looked pretty good for 6 years, nice job on the haul out, nothing like a clean bottom!
I have two CQRs of 105 Lbs. each, and I am very satisfied with their performance over 47 years, why change?If I were starting out now, I would certainly look into newer generation anchors. I also have a 90 Lb. HT Danforth, and a 100 Lb. WC Kedge anchor. That totals out at 400 Lbs. of anchors. Best to you - P
Thanks for letting me know. The new anchors are crazy expensive, as were the CQR's in their days.
Hello Sir
Since your boat is wood covered in fiberglass do you still have the maintenance of a wooden boat or more like the maintenance of a fiberglass boat only much better built
The latter.
Will you stay in Mexico or planning on another crossing or extended voyage?
'Solo Pacific Crossing PT2' has a few words on that subject.
