Very Nice.. Great boat. Hope to get a nonsuch one day.

Take your time, take it easy, ,maybe find someone to sail with....

You forgot the bitter end !!!! Not the first.

Use those mussels for your crab trap

My cat fill overboard in Southern California, i was belowdecks napping. His cry was loud enough to wake the devil. Had a fish net to scoop him up that did not work. He swim around the 2 or 3 times and i was able to reach down and grab him. Then had to wash them off with fresh water. Luckily all this took place at anchor. After I got all done the cat was madder than hell and then would not come up on deck for three days. After that he was VERY careful.

Loved the video, thanks for posting...cool boat!

yes make sure the electric motor has re-gen capabilities

You were my neighbor in the inner harbour. Apparently you got lost in the forest while at a logging protest last yr and were never found again. Rest in peace, friend!

1st hahaha

Where are you now? I hope you are well and I would like to know how you are doing and if you need anything?

What an awful video !!!! Stop showing us your face... show the boat 0/10

It's November 2022 now and Nuclear war is about to start.

Gog and Magog don't care,

All tricked out for cruising.

That's the sound freedom of Gerald. The Russian's just proved you wrong. Ecological catastrophe, not likely.

Nice workout by any standard.

Thanks for showing me the ropes.

It’s like ‘I wish you were here’ at that level.

Just looking at a Nonsuch 30 with a composting head. Thanks for the advice. I may look further into it. Sometimes you got to look down in order to look up rightly. Brian

Nice stuff that. Hope you are well, Be well. Brian

Yawn, unseeded land, the new word du jour. Mind you I really like that hard top.

Enjoying your videos, are there are a lot of these Nonsuch sailboats on the Great Lakes and are they affordable

Thanks for the videos.👍

😀 yup, I was wondering about that when in your last video when you said you had the wet suit since you were 20 years old. Thanks for your videos and willing to talk and share. 👍

How are you enjoying the nonsuch 30 ? I am thinking to buy one also.

bye bye, don't let the door hit you on the way out. It's a park and yes they have jurisdiction. You get an F in law....So, why is why anchoring not prohibited in marine parks or, if not prohibited, at least subject to a fee? Jurisdiction in the marine environment is complicated, leaving provincial park authorities in particular uncertain whether they have the power to regulate anchoring. However, a review of case law suggests that this should not be an issue. Anchoring, and the right to constrain it, is indeed fairly complex. To begin with, everyone has a common law right to navigation, which includes the incidental right to anchor.6 However, such rights must not be exercised in ways that interfere with the equal rights of others. In addition, common law rights can be altered, or even overridden, by legislation. Do park authorities have the authority to regulate anchoring? That requires consideration of the division of powers set out in the Constitution Act, 1867. Under section 91, the federal government has exclusive legislative authority over buoys (s. 91(9)) and navigation and shipping (s. 91(10)). Within the province, the legislature, under section 92, has exclusive jurisdiction with respect to property and civil rights (s. 92(13)) and local or private matters (s. 92(16)). The province also has constitutional authority over the management of public lands, including provincial foreshore, under section 92(5). BC’s Land Act7 defines Crown land as “land, whether or not it is covered by water”. Anchoring, in at least some situations, is a core aspect of navigation and shipping. For example, anchoring for emergencies or repairs are included in one’s right of navigation. With primary authority for navigation, the federal government, and thus Parks Canada, clearly has the authority to regulate anchoring in national marine parks. The provincial authority is less clear. A province cannot validly enact legislation that conflicts directly with a subject area that the Constitution has assigned to the federal government. However, there is room for overlap. The Supreme Court of Canada has said: 8 ”In determining the proper test it should be remembered that in a federal system it is inevitable that, in pursuing valid objectives, the legislation of each level of government will impact occasionally on the sphere of power of the other level of 6 R. v. Lewis et al., 2009 BCPC 386 (CanLII), <canlii.ca/t/27tgz>, retrieved on 2020-11-16, at para 29. The court was considering regulations enacted by the federal government, in consultation with the City of Vancouver, limiting anchoring and mooring in False Creek. 7 R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 245, s. 1. 8 General Motors of Canada Ltd. v. City National Leasing, 1989 CanLII 133 (SCC), [1989] 1 SCR 641, <canlii.ca/t/1ft82>, retrieved on 2020-11-16, at para 45. Alternative to Anchoring in BC Marine Parks 4 government; overlap of legislation is to be expected and accommodated in a federal state.” In another decision, the same Court said:9 “The history of Canadian constitutional law has been to allow for a fair amount of interplay and indeed overlap between federal and provincial powers.” Given that jurisdictional overlap is allowed, and even inevitable, how can one determine when overlap is valid? The Supreme Court of Canada has clarified that provincial laws can affect areas of federal jurisdiction as long as they don’t actually impair federal laws:10 “The difference between ‘affects’ and ‘impairs’ is that the former does not imply any adverse consequence whereas the latter does… It is when the adverse impact of a law adopted by one level of government increases in severity from ‘affecting’ to ‘impairing’ that the ‘core’ competence of the other level of government … is placed in jeopardy, and not before.” BC’s highest court, our Court of Appeal, allowed a mere municipal bylaw (municipalities have very limited jurisdiction compared to a province) restricting the moorage of vessels to overlap with the federal authority to regulate navigation:11 “I agree with the District that upholding those regulations does not support the corollary that any provincial regulation of moorage or anchorage would be in pith and substance an invasion of the federal navigation and shipping power.”

Would love to know the maker of the hard canopy over the cockpit. Looks good and haven't seen it on any others. It's one of the things that's kept me away from nonsuch's. Beyond that I find them to be beautifully simple!

May you fly free, Gerald. Blessings on your soul, angel.

RIP Smiley.That mountain just hasn't been the same since we lost you up there.

Has anyone heard from Gerald???

Gerry where are you, are you okay, what's going on?! Please get in touch immediately!

We are looking for you - contact the front line please

Oh no... 😳 I brought an Albin Vega 27' that I'm gonna be living on the rest of my life. It's small but the upkeep will be very low. Will be fixing her up next spring and summer and in the fall I'll leave Sweden for Madeira island of Portugal where I will spend the winter (both Sweden and Portugal is EU, I can live where ever I want). In the spring I will leave for the fjords of Norway to fish, I love fishing and eating fish. After that I don't know... Maybe EU part of caribbean? Maybe south Africa?

WHERE ARE YOU??? ARE YOU OK?

Fight the good fight.

And you have a diving watch cap. Right on.

Those are beautiful! I knit socks sometimes. Is your mom still around?

Well, _that_ certainly sucks the big hairy one. Crap. And so close to docking for the winter!

Sorry to hear you can’t pull your chain anymore, Gerald. Seriously, hope you can recover it, or replace for a cheaper price.

here's an idea, if you think brute force will work..beg, borrow or source a large inflatable buoy, the ones sailboat racers use for their marks. Dive down a bit with it deflated and secure it well to the chain you can reach. Inflate it in that position with your hookah. This air bag will give a lot more force than your windlass ever could. Good luck from a fan in Long Branch!

That is so cool. Do they go to a dock in the winter? That's what the weather has been like all "summer" here. But no rain.

Good luck! (haha, mugens is interested in the camera and we see all whiskers)

Good on you!

Pretty lights ! Looks like you’re having a party. You’re a fixer upper :) we need more of these skills on the planet. Best of luck with your move. Sounds exciting! Stay strong. You will be needed to help humans sooner than later… just an fyi. There’s no coincidence that you are doing what you’re doing in these turbulent times. Namaste 🙏

It's good to see you doing your thing. I'm getting handier but at nowhere near your level.

What's that crazy light?

Wow! Yep the mussels buildt up! Good that your doing something.

Are you okay? Also the last 1/4 video was of your leg and heavy breathing. Looks like a lot of work!

I heard it before I saw it, and thought, "Oh no, he's making heavy-breathing porn now." I thought your boat had a keel? Were you standing on the seabed?

Thanks, Gerald.
