Salt & Tar: Ep.250- Rocket Pop

We visit two anchorages on Isla Carmen as we join up with Garrett's brother, Reid, on 'I Mua' and another couple aboard 'Kessel'. As we head back to civilization to pick up Reid's next crew member we get the chance to fly 'Rocket Pop', our new-to-us spinnaker!
Thanks for watching!
p.s. I try and reply to as many comments as I can but we are still so so busy so please do not take it personally 💕
Much love!!!

    I’m 60 years old. Several accidents, four back surgeries and many other operations and I am now trying (as you are) to force myself to not take on so many projects and to slow myself down enough to relax occasionally. It is not easy and does not come naturally. I get you. Truly. I am fortunate because I can still outwork men half my age. The question is “why should I do that?” I need to set my pride aside and take the time to look at and appreciate my accomplishments instead of racing to start the next one. Good luck to you Sir. I hope you find the peace and tranquility that matches your surroundings.

    You may have seen something fairly unusual. I think this is what you showed. Google Pyrosomida and see if you agree. Pyrosomida are an order of marine animals included in the Chordata (a group that also includes vertebrate animals). In concrete, they are inside the Thaliacea class in the Urochordata or Tunicata group. There are 2,000 species widely distributed in all oceans, from close to shore to big depths. The reason of their name, Tunicata, is that they present a tough tunic that covers and protects the animal and that contains cellulose. Urochordata or Tunicata can be classified into three classes: Ascidians (or sea squirts), Larvacea and Thaliacea.

    Ruthie, get yourself a Lycra dive suit! They’re only about $100, are stretchy and light. Some divers use the under their neoprene suit. It will protect you from jellies and other small creatures that like to sample flesh. It will also protect you from sunburn when snorkeling. Works against fire coral you may find on reefs when you get to that part of the world. Garrett might want to get one too.

They will not weigh you down while you work in the water, but they will feel heavy when you climb out of the water. The little crustaceans on your friend's wet suit will stink like a fish market as soon ass they die. There will be plenty inside as well as what we saw on the outside.

    22:00 that would be considered the longest Whisker Pole because it is longer than the distance from the mast to the bow. As to the size of the Spinnaker it is better than nothing but I think it should be another 25-50sq/Ft larger to move Rediviva properly. Regardless it looks great and you hot an instant boos which is great. Happy Sailing.

    Fun thing to try with the spinnaker; tie the sheets together as wide as the foot, then fly the ‘Shute as far out as the halliard will go, then try to sit on the sheets in the water. I watched a couple spend an afternoon in Corsica dunking each other, every time the breeze filled the sail, up out of the water, then as the breeze dropped, so did they.

    What a wonderful sense of accomplishment you must have as you are using your boat. I've watched most of your episodes from the beginning and still get emotional when I see the rewards of your labors. I built our home with little experience and lots of blood and sweat. Every once-in-a-while I set back and look at it and am so proud and grateful for what I have accomplished. You must get the same feeling as you reflect on your craftmanship and determination to have accomplished so much. I love the water. We do river camping from our 1974 16ft. runabout that my son and I have restored. We found it sunken in a lake up here in Wisconsin. Thanks for letting me share in your reward vicariously. The clear water in that cave is one of those things that your work has bought you. Enjoy!

    Good point about relegating grunt work, after toiling so hard to build the boat... another aspect is that as captain, you have a fair amount of mental stress; traditionally there would be hands to deal with maintenance, etc. You need room to focus on your command.
