Hi D, I like your sextant. Also the ali xpress jammers, your hint on the ali blocks are going to be used soon, I hope to be launching soon , thanks for your vids keeps me focused on finishing
Cool Stuff, nice rig experimenting… Yea, on a following wind dump the main, boat goes down wind very nicely, like a train on rails… well done! Keep jibing and shunting….
Nothing compares to an Adventure by design. Up and go when it feels right! Thanks for the Part 1… I'll be looking forward to Part 2. I'm about to launch a small plywood cat I've been rebuilding and am considering a 3 week trip in sheltered waters. Always nice to see how you endure the slower times and prepare for the immanent action later.
Hello Dominic. It's Renay. I met you at the bus stop in Opua heading south. You were going to the museum in Auckland. Glad to see you sailing. All the best for your travels.
Never heard about the apples touching thing. I'm gonna have to test that now. In Denmark we always keep them outside, up against an inhabited brick house, in the shade, in wooden crates where every other wooden board is missing to allow air through and then with metal netting around and raised off the ground to prevent rodents from entering. The open-to-the-air crates are to allow the gas to escape and the location and climate keeps them above freezing (hopefully) but still fairly cold. They last for months like this even though they are all touching. I'd assume that letting the gas escape rather than build up in an enclosed space would be more important than whether they're touching but the next time I buy apples I'll keep them at room temperature in two locations with half of them touching and half of them not. I suppose I should try this in an enclosed and unenclosed space as well.
I'm newish to sailing and I hope you know how helpful and informative your channel is. Your resourcefulness and ingenuity is also very inspirational. I hope your channel and adventures continue for a long time and wish you fair winds and good health.
Great video, good to see you back in action! What a trip!
Good going. Admire your sense of adventure!
I envy the weather, here the lakes are still frozen.
Great video
Nice voyage!!! What a South Sea Vagabond⛵
I think theres a mori ori marae there from the looks on google maps.
Have you ever looked at those islands straight south of the south island.
I saw a tiki26 on trademe the other week for 8k man if i was bummed it would be a dream to have bought it and set sail.

have you ever thought of putting a square sail, much more control and easier to raise and reef when on downwind. the Wharram is perfect for it.
Oh hell yes!

Very cool ,what an adventure
Best video ever! I'm really looking forward to part 2. Rather than Raoul Island, try Minerva reef and back.
