Join us as we leave the rig shop and head up island to make some money, spend time with family, and explore some of the Salish Sea. We are starting to feel more ready, but nothing like a little practice to keep us humble.
Kayleen and Tyler, you are two amazing people that I really admire. Kayleen, I want to go diving with you but I live in Ireland. Have an enjoyable and safe trip to Mexico. I love your videos.
What a treat to visit with Jeanne! I met a fellow in Mazatlan who has crossed the Pacific about 30 times over the last 40 years. The last ten years sailing solo. He just turned 80... Footloose is looking great. White is practical in many ways, but her blue topsides sure catch the eye. Cut my hair short in 2007 in prep for a climbing expedition. Never gone back! Do you have one or two tracks for the headsails? My T41 has one. One thing to check on the running backs is whether you can leave them rigged when tacking if the main is reefed. Can really save work when beating with the staysail.
It really was awesome meeting Jeanne, I learned so much! We’ve got an inner track on the deck and the track along the teak toe rail. I wish we had a track on the cabin top so we could really sheet it in the inner head sail. And hmm I don’t think we can leave the Lee running back stay set up, luckily they are quick to release from the cockpit if needed. Thanks for the comment as always!
