2024-01-24 18:29:38 +0000 UTCWe would definitely leave the design as is. I have heard of some stories too, but we have never had any issues. I think some designs have too small of an opening which can lead to jamming problems. But ours has always worked very well and itβs been quite a few miles in varios conditions. We can reef quickly in nearly all wind conditions and directions by paying attention to the o the main sheet tension when weβre furling.

2023-04-28 23:30:54 +0000 UTCI was in the Navy (1972-1976) with VA-95 on the Coral Sea CVA-43. One favorite pastime when not on duty was to βRide the Bowβ. You would sit on the bow with your feet on the steel safety net and while away the time. On both the trans PAC to the Philippines and the passage south to Perth, Australia, the ship would rock in and out of time with BIG swells. The bulbous bow would come completely out of the water. When the timing was right, the ship would nosedive into the next swell, and the bow wave would shoot out in front of the ship, with the back spray drenching us. So. Much. Fun. During that cruise I vowed to go back to sea on a ship that was not painted grey.

2023-04-28 21:01:50 +0000 UTCThankfully, finally they announced a maritime plan that is somewhat affordable for recreational cruisers. Hardware is 4 times the cost of the RV or residential hardware and the plan for 50GB priority data available in nearly all the oceans is twice as much the cost of the RV plan. It is still quite some investment but it makes me so exciting to see that there is so much improvement to the plans and overall technology. What I donβt like about the maritime dishy is the power consumption is significantly higher compared to dishy for residential or RV plan.

2023-04-28 18:18:20 +0000 UTCNo doubt Connor's fish was dumping serious bio-chemicals as it was suffocating and being knifed. The bleed out method of a live fish is not the best practice to ensure quality taste. Just think about how beef cattle are killed. Instant death to prevent chemical dump and then bled. I have been practicing Ike Jime for 3+ years now on all near and off-shore fish I harvest. I can definitely tell a difference in the quality of taste in a fish that has been quickly dispatched with at the least the brain spike method. Connor's tuna was probably a bit too small for utilizing the circuit breaker technique.

2023-04-27 17:47:50 +0000 UTCVery cool! Good to see the crew morale is high! What is your Starlink plan? Is it RV plan?
Erdem Arican
2023-04-27 17:39:55 +0000 UTCHey Brian, if/when you decide to replace standing rigging, if you ever replace the mast, would you go with an in-mast furling system again or would you refit with a traditional raise on a track, lower to reef etc? Iβve never sailed with in-mast furler and have heard horror stories about failures at the wrong weather moment. Thanks for your thoughts!
