Sailing our Leopard 45 Catamaran from Bequia to Grenada in 2023. E87 

😊

Oui mes amis. We hope to see you next season 🥰

Thanks so much! You’re not the REO Speedwagon base player are you? Or is that the other Bruce Hall? 😊 But yes the Jason Ricci song was awesome plus Eddie 9v is awesome too. Check out Eddie 9v album called Little Black Flies. It’s amazing Blues/Rock.

Thanks Jason!

Thanks Tony! You gotta respect the people, places, and customs otherwise it just doesn’t feel right. And experiencing these new places is what makes this adventure so amazing.

Thanks ✌️

We were anchored next to one in Bequia but there never seemed to be anyone there. 😞

We docked the dinghy on a dock in Guadeloupe that tour boats use too. We heard rumor we should tie up on the very inside part since the tour boats use the main part but there were no signs or anything or any tour boars around on a late afternoon. We tied up about a foot onto the main part. Well apparently some one didn’t like where we were so they pried our pretty beefy Master Lock open and moved the dinghy a few feet further down the dock. At least they didn’t set the dinghy adrift or steal it!

You’re very welcome! If you ever have specific questions we’d be happy to help by the way. The lock is a MastetLock we got from Home Depot but I forgot which one. It’s been holding up well. Good luck with your cruising plans!

awesome, thanks! @@SailingWindTherapy

You can’t go wrong with either boat. We loved our L48 before hurricane Irma sunk her but…we love the 45 more. Certainly advantages and disadvantages to each. The 48 we think sailed a little better. It’s of course bigger which is always good and the bigger helm station is better than the 45 ( but the 45 is much easier to single hand sail due to the smaller size and much better positioning of the winches). We hated the Heads in the 48 because there was no storage. The heads in the 45 are immensely better. We love the better salon setup on the 45 with the galley facing forward and much better storage too. That’s just a few points off the top of my head 😊. If you guys really want to get into all specifics than we’d be happy to chat on the phone when your ready. Just let us know.

@@SailingWindTherapy Thank you so much for your feedback. We have a property that is going up for auction in October and we have to wait and see what the final number is before we can make any commitment. Hopefully that all goes well and then we would love to talk but we don't want to waste your time until we are sure. We hope that your trip went well and everyone is great!

Best of luck with your property sale! Things with us are great as we are winding down our busy summer and are looking forward to getting back on the boat. We’re here if you need anything. Take care. 😊

That’s funny. We actually had a diver come out and clean our bottom before we got hauled. He gave me a good reason for it but I can’t remember why. 🤪 Plus our bottom paint job from Rhode Island was awesome.

Hi Richard. Try starting with this video and then we can go from there 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qAydimz4TWo.htmlsi=BlQe42eCiwNEFpND

Plus we spoke about the origins and I think we answer a bunch of these questions in our very first video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hSOoAsaAC8g.htmlsi=wuXLHRY4lU26OJqr But if this and the Ask a Leopard video from the comment above do not answer all of the questions just let us know and we’ll get into more specifics. Thanks for watching!

Ummmmm…. Errr…. Let me ask Adrienne. Actually just kidding. I’d stick ‘em with my fancy new Epi pen we just ordered 😁. But only if they’re in anaphylactic shock. I think.

The restaurants name was actually called Whale Boner. I can’t make that stuff up. 😊
