I admit to doing something similar when younger - suffering too much from embarrassment and particularly in a full anchorage I just wanted to get the hell out of there. I did stop to check for damage round the corner - but realised later (and still kick myself) that I could have been on my way to a sinking in deeper water. Im older now, but still don't like an audience when Im getting it wrong :-). A good reason to avoid crowds!

We all have and do mistakes. Audience is never fun but as you point out rather having to deal with that than sinking. Cheers 🍻

hey Thomas - on boat organisation, one of the best designs I have seen is an Estonian built Saare (fabulous boats) - they have one of the aft cabins actually set up as a wet room, tool room, engine access etc. You could easily do this on your boat. On my little Swan 38 my forepeak has two berths but normally I have those lifted out the way and its a working sail room with tool storage too. I’m also just in the process of re-rigging.. mast goes back next week. Hope yours goes well too!

I guess I could convert one cabin to storage. One of the frustrating things about living on a boat is you hide things everywhere🤣 Good luck with your rigging project💪🏻 Cheers 🍻

Thank you Thomas that sunset was stunning (:

Looking at your vid, you are anchored pretty much at the same spot we were on Britican in January 2020. We were supposed to be there for two days to provision but then the big blow came, 8 days of 30-40 knots wind with gusts up to 60. In those eight days we were crossing off things to do faster than they could appear. Like you know it is normal that you cross one boat to do and an other one appears. If our paths cross, the first drink is on me.

I enjoy this channel mostly when you are traveling alone because you share your experianced and practice solutions be Befor they can become an issue. To constantly tweak your ride is to allow for a sense of ease and confidence. You have much to share with novice sailors like us here in Vancouver Canada.

Surely when leaving the port or anchorage, green marks should be left to port? Was the video image reversed?

@SailingwithThomas

3 жыл бұрын

Hey thank you for watching and your question. This could be the rule where your home is. But in general the direction of the fairway is marked with the lateral colours in most maritime navigation maps as a guide of what’s the direction of the fairway. Some places the compass direction is the indicator for which side to pass buoys, channel markers or lateral lights. As an example the fjords in Norway always follows the same rule going in/out. However you might even see red/green switch side as you approach next set of channel markers when two main fairway meets. So in general I would say look at the map and see what’s the direction of the fairway where you go as it’s mostly indicated with two arrows red/green. This photo and video was not reversed. All the best and cheers 🍻

In italy there is a proverb: chi non fa non falla. It means who does not do not make mistakes. Another good video

Get yourself a windsurfing board. It will stop the boron and you can get around to places windsurfers would love to go and doing it environmentally. That way you can even enjoy days in lumpy anchorage's. You will never be bored again.

I cant just search sailing even though sailing is in the name of this video, i have to put in the whole title. But it can deliver every one who ever recorded the song sailing. I am very close to giving up youtube. I am loving watching a video for 3 seconds before an ad.

Making a thousand decisions, even the wise will make a mistake - so remember to always leave a little room for a mistake. A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.

Thanks Thomas. As a single handed sailor, how do you see well ahead of you to get around reefs and bombies? I was thinking a mast mounted camera facing forward would be even better than someone standing on the bow.

Hi there! It’s for sure a challenge sometimes. I do have a sonar and off course sounder. However if it’s possible I often anchor outside and take a recon ride with my dinghy. All the best!

Most likely however not necessarily lack of skills. Short holiday eager to get out there is typically mistake as well. Reactions to mistakes is different and who knows he might even realise later his poor decision. Anyone can do mistakes... All the best and Cheers from BE FREE 🍻

I'm gonna waste 30 seconds of my life to specifically advise you just to shut the fuck up if you have nothing nice to say. Just move along if you don't like a video, it's completely unnecessary to be an asshole about it... And 28, 29, 30... I take that back, I didn't waste my 30 seconds. It was worth it. Cheers anyway, D Ket. Do Better... ;)
