The ICW might be beautiful and definitely has it's benefits, ultimately it takes a lot more work and time than sailing offshore along the east coast of the United States. Instead of continuing north on this inland waterway we jump offshore from Savannah and spend three days sailing to Beaufort NC. This saved us 85 miles and 6-7 days of travel time.

Looked like a lovely sail. Beaufort can be pretty crowded, but it’s a nice little town. 😎🥰😎🥰😎

It’s was wonderful!! ❤️

Man I don’t miss that timing of the tides, and unpredictable storms. When we came down the Rio Dulce, we didn’t have the map (with depths) and that was a bit stressful. Thank God for locals and their knowledge.

Might want to consider a good store of ginger bread for your snacking during passage. More nutritious and the ginger helps settle motion sickness. And the burn of good ginger in the mouth does wonders for keeping you alert at night.

@Spoondrifters 4 месяца назад

great idea! I LOVE ginger crisps!

That would be the part of sailing that would get to me, trying to make it to somewhere and sitting in ocean boobing with no wind.

@10:00 Congrats Todd on catching the fish 👍(yes they're edible, bit like sardines)

@Spoondrifters 4 месяца назад

LOL! We’ve heard them being used as bait but never eaten.

@daveamies5031 4 месяца назад

@@Spoondrifters Most probably don't bother with them because they're smallish but with small fish like sardines and anchovies you don't fillet them, just gut them and cook them whole. I guess it depends on how open minded you are too unfamiliar foods. In my wife's culture all fish are cooked with the bones in, head on etc, the fish eyes get fought over and you use chopsticks to pick the fish meat away from the bones, the meat around the head of the fish is considered the best bit and this is what most westerners throw away after filleting. I've only seen one YT channel cook the flying fish and she just fried them with an egg and a tomato for a nice simple breakfast. I guess try and see if you like them, at least you know there's less risk of ciguatera with such a small fish 👍

There are electronic anti-seasickness wrist bands- run around $85-$100 each and rechargeable battery lasts around 10hrs. Somehow a tiny electric jolt to wrist nerve interferes with the confused inner ear to brain signal that causes seasickness.

@Spoondrifters 4 месяца назад

I’ll have to look into those.

@earthman3000 4 месяца назад

Yes, I have any of my seasick prone crew wear it….only thing that I have found that really works (in most cases)

Hey guys. This is Cher. I'm using my hubby s phone that why his name Lester shows up! Just wondering, how "old" are these videos? I'm seeing Abigail in these and RU-vid says it was just posted two hours ago. I hope this question isn't being disrespectful bc that's not what I intended it to be.... ...I'm just really confused.❤

How many watts of solar and battery do you have?

We have 900 watts of solar and 600 amp hours at 48 volts (not lithium) dedicated to the motor bank.
