Murpheys law 2.0 battery died
Nov 24–29, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Woke up this morning by the fire department that we docked at their slip and if we could move the boat further ahead. When we tried to start the engine she didnt start...probably the battery. The belt ia getting lose all the time and probably this doesnt allow the battery to be charged.
In any case the fire department guys came by and towed us to the the adjacent dock.
Last but not least the engine of the dingy doesnt start either. Murpheys law.Read more

Frontsail problems when you dont need it
November 30, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
Laat night we entered into Jacksonville, we were entering through to breakers and had to put down the front sail, which didnt work because it was stuck. Meanwhile a huge tanker ship was approaching. The engine turned off and we were 30 feet away from the breaker. Luckily Don got the engine to work, but it was damn close and scary. safe and sound docked at Jacksonville. Pics in the morning, it was 5 celcius and steam was coming of the water.Read more

The Dingy, Thanksgiving
November 30, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 5 °C
An absolute classic; after an epic trip through the. Nature wildlife reserve, we came through a narrow channel into Jikyll Island, Georgia. We docked at the marine toghether with Otho, a sole sailor. Don somehow managed to lose the Dingy which he realised after a couple of minutes. The Dingy had drifted off with the tide and wind and got stuck in the mud along the shore. We ran down. Don went into the water and got stuck in the mud, bruised by all the mussels growing on the beach. He went back to the boat as I watched the dingy. 10 min later Don turned up in a small, old rowing boatRead more

After destroying the front sail we decided to head for St Augustine through the intercoastal. Soft and sweet in Florida, passed a lot of house along the way.

Heading out to Daytona bay. The boat is doing no more that 3 knots. We decided to call up a tow boat to tow us to Daytona and have the boat repaired, as we are limping with a battery thats not charging and an engine that is without speed. Lets hope with a pit stop we'll make it.Read more

TravelerGodzijdank zie je nog zo veel leven in de oceaan- schildpadden, dolfijnen, roggen. Hebben jullie iets gemerkt van plastic vervuiling?

We made it!

After passing 12 bridges with an overnight sail to Fort Lauderdale we had a scenic trip to the marina. Last 100 yards we nearly got stuck on the sand bank and underneath the boat you could see huge ray fish. 1,300 miles with average speed of around 5 knots per hour.

Key lessons learned:
- Always fix whatever needs fixing
- Red bouy on the right when going out and always follow the bouys when coming in or out
- Double check the heights of bridges
- Ask local sailors about the sea conditions
- Murpheys law counts double on sea
- Check the lines are all there and in place (including front sail and mainsale)
- Tie the dingy

TravelerKlinkt wijs! Twee vragen. Welke jongens moet je volgen bij in of uitstappen? Hoe bedoel je vindt de dingy? Dingy is toch ziekte?
