A 16 hour long sailing trip to get to Cape Canaveral in time to watch the Falcon 9 rocket launch from our boat. Before reaching the anchorage we experienced some nerve-racking and even dangerous moments by sailing through an open bridge with overhanging cables. And we went through a lock for the first time.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING AND SUBSCRIBING!!

I wish I knew y'all would be in the vicinity for the launch. I would have made bitterballen for y'all to enjoy. Maybe next time. Those launches will always be cool to see. It doesn't get "old."

hello I stumbled upon your episode #36 I enjoyed watching so I continued watching until episode # 39 Your dog was beautiful and he suddenly went out of your videos, He looked healthy so I know he wasn't sick.[ besides very skinny] and happy I feel bad for him and cannot watch your videos anymore.

Hi Deb, happy to hear you enjoyed some of our episodes. Nova was a very sweet, happy and energetic dog indeed, so it came as a huge shock to us that she was very ill. We did all we could to treat her but it was a nasty disease that was apparently already in a far stadium so she didn't make it. We were very sad as you can imagine and weren't in the mood to give an explanation for her disappearance in the videos. We wanted to grieve for the loss of our beloved dog in private as a family, I hope you can understand that. We still miss her a lot!

Oh my gosh! That bridge was super scary. I just looked on Navionics and there is no mention of the cables. Are they permanent do you know? What is their height? Wow thanks for sharing! I'd love to know what you use to plan your routes and find anchorages. Safe travels! We will be hoping up the coast in a few months :)

@SailingNohma Жыл бұрын

Yes, they are permanent. And the problem is that they have been replaced a few times already after they were hit by boats so nobody knows their exact height. We use Navionics for routing.

Sven and Tina, would you talk a bit about the pros and cons of painting your bow locker with something like topcoat? Would that be better for the fiberglass than leaving it raw?

Oh, you guys have a hose attachment, not the basic sink sprayer. Good.

Thanks Geoff, we’re so happy to see how actively involved you watch our videos!! 😃 As you know by now it wasn’t the shower head, we have one of those as well but we’ve made it into a habit to check that the valve is closed. Now we have to make a habit out of checking the hatches before we set sail 😅
