Think my worst experience with ice was watching some twits out on a little plastic cruiser trying to leave the mooring with one chap on the front with a pole trying to brake the ice, the guy at the helm decided to ram the ice in front and as a result the chap on the front was catapulted of the bow (Inevitable). I was watching as I just new it was going to end in disaster, took me a wile to find a long enough rope to attach to a life ring, the guy at the helm could not lift the other guy aboard as the sides to high, no ladder etc and the guy in the water after some initial screaming for help was declining fast, anyway after a few attempts at skipping a life ring to him I got the ring to him, then had to drag him through the ice to my boat, the ice was cutting him up a bit during that time, when I got him to my boat it took all my strength to get him aboard as he could not move by that stage, then had to undress him and wrap in towels. He was so lucky to be alive I think he had minutes to live if in any longer. A very sobering instance.
Wow! That had to be an experience! Thank goodness you were paying attention and thinking ahead! We had a discussion at dinner before we left Wrangell with some other Alaskan Nordhavn owners…. I made an observation that if either Eric or I fell in the water while moving we wouldn’t survive. There wouldn’t be enough time to get the boat turned around before the cold water took the person. The answer was…. don’t go anywhere on the boat where you could fall in. I never left the Portuguese bridge if I went outside while we were running. There was no going up on the bow or boat deck. I don’t even remember going out in the cockpit. I am so glad you were able to save the person!
Yes. We have a course set and the autopilot will bring us back on course. But, if the current is faster than our boat then we are in trouble. Does that make sense?
I was going to try and mess with you about the dateline in Washington…. but, it was last year. We were so busy that I am trying really hard to catch up on videos. You might like watching “Where are we now, and what are we doing.” I had to put that out because our Instagram is current. Thank you for watching!
We are still out here! Lots going on. I am trying to figure out if we are going to continue with the videos. I do need to get our boat tour of the 55 completed at least. If you are on Instagram or FB we do post there.
@@havaseas I’m curious, but wouldn’t going through the hoops/costs of selling and buying a new boat (to reduce the length by 5 feet) outweigh any potential savings?
Good question. It certainly is best to get it right the first time! Unfortunately we did not. Although the 50 is only 5’ less. The overall size and weight of the boat is like 30% less. It was also close to half the price. Our new boat is only 3 years older. We were actually planning to get a 43 when we started the process but this boat seemed to be a good fit.
