A couple of questions about winter yachting, if you don't mind: - before snowstorm, what if you try covering winch and sheet on it with some cotton\plastic bag or some other covering and wrap it with some thin rope(so that it won't fall off from wind)? You can just take off that covering afterwards and your winch would be free from snow and most of the moisture and should be more workable in such conditions; - what are the possible dangers to unblocking frozen hatches with warm\hot water (considering there are plenty of show around and heat source available inside); - could teak decking help with walking on the deck?

Looks fantastic. Can you tell us how you would mitigate and what survival techniques you use if an accident was to happen like falling in the water, ie getting warm, do you carry fire making stuff with you? I’m sure many of us would find these things really interesting. Lovely to watch

@michaelpickettjr2145 6 ай бұрын

I live in Sitka Alaska and I have to tell you to be very careful up there where you anchor up during the winter because a lot of bays have fresh water flowing into them and that water stays on the surface and overnight if it is cold enough, the entire bay will freeze and you will be stuck until it thaws which could be weeks to months. So always anchor in bays with lots of seawater moving in and out and no big rivers in the mouths.

Your channel is the best! Every time you ski from your boat it takes me back to my past, skiing from my kayak in beautiful Lake Tahoe California! You are one of the reasons my wife and I recently bought a 38 foot sailboat and started sailing in the Pacific! We currently are living on the boat, fixing it and doing a few day sails each week and the occasional overnight out to the beautiful Channel Islands off the coast of California. Maybe someday we will sail to my favorite place Juneau Alaska! Maybe someday you’ll come here! Fairwinds!

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of both water clarity and water quality.

I have to say that I'm very impressed at your courage. Most of us in the U.S. are fair weather sailors. Going out in the winter, especially an artic winter, takes nerves of steel. I don't even like going out in SoCal in the winter as the seas can get rough at any minute. It can be sunny and serene when you head out, and absolutely wind blown and choppy when you head in. Working about ice, snow, and frost-bite is a whole different level.

The mountain ski regions are crowded and to reach polar regions as a working man without using an airplane is nearly impossible. Kerosin use is no option for me.
