Sailing the Free Life - Long Way Home on our MacGregor 26 (P5) 

we found the trails you're talking about and they were a great hike.

That's a good plan Rob.

Thanks for your comments. We sold the macgregor and bought a Catalina 36 we sailed it the last two summers full time .We completed a circumnavigation of Vancouver island then sold the boat at the end of our trip. We recently just got back from sailing in Mexico for the last month and a half so we have still been sailing lots . We’re going to start looking for another boat probably next winter. Cheers Steve and Ally.

@@sailingthefreelife that really is great news to hear you’ve still been enjoying the sailing life. Hopefully you’ll jump back in front of the camera with a new boat in the near future. Thank you for taking the time for an update, all the best 👍❤️🇬🇧

We just had a old garmin on the boat. Plus a ipad with navionics.

Mark Oliver we have a 2stroke 90hp tohatsu. Max is 31km hr. I think it would do better if we removed weight but usually we are fairly heavy with all our food and gear. Heavy items like two Batts, generator, two anchors with chain , cooler , food, fishing gear 50-100liters of water ect ect make a pretty big diffrence I'm sure. I actually tested it out one day and wrote down my finding so here's some more info. Engine rpm with 11 pitch Ladder,keel,rudders,towing dingy with full ballast. 1k RPM-5.5to5.9km 2k -10km 3k 13.2kmto13.4km Rudders up,ladder up, dagger up towing dingy 1k 6.1km 2k 10.2 3k 13.6 With ballast removed.pulleying dingy 1k 6.1km 2k 10.3km 3k 13.9km Full throttle with ballast 4.9k at 27kmhr Full throttle without ballast 5k at 30.4

Thanks

Todd Moore we just sold the boat 3 days ago... we are now looking at more of a live aboard boat that can take us farther places. Cheers

Sailing the Free Life I seen your boat on kijiji. 😁

Sailing the Free Life Hi. I'm curious if you' e found another boat; of so what you got. I'm in NYC and the currents and wind are probably fine for a Mac but it gets choppy and in areas, moderate swells, so I'm wondering if you have any comparison insight now.

Big J Productions you can sail across the Atlantic The McGregor is unsinkable. All you need is courage and God with you.

Hillbilly Heaven glad you liked them. We have done quite a bit more sailing and have video'd it but it is video from our trip down the west coast from San Diago to Cabo mexico. And also Puerto Rico to Antigua and a places in between. I think there is plenty others who have videos on these places and do a better job sharing on video than we could so we haven't done any more videos. We have sold sea weasel and might do some more video as we look for our next cruising boat!

@@sailingthefreelife my wife and I are starting to look into buying a sailboat and basically doing the same thing on the west coast I already have property up in Alaska that we're going to be using as a home base in the summertime and then in the winter time sale down south bound

Annabell Schröder it wouldn't be a problem to have a dog off leash as far as I know. But our dog was 8 years old when we got her and will run if she see's people coming towards her , or if somthing scared her like a bear bang or falling tree ect she would run into the woods and be lost.

Thanks for your feedback Laurent Froggy. We are still amateurs when it comes to filming & editing. Hoping to upgrade from our cheap underwater Olympus camera that we shot most of the video with... open to suggestions on equipment or editing options other than doing voice over for everything with the motor going.

haha i think it was awesome, how about you set up a patreon account and Laurent can give you a bunch of money so you can get the best camera equipment and just sit around all day making amazing vids to please this guy lol.
