No guidance from a sailing expert here. I'm a guy who started sailing late in life and am very much learning as I go. This channel is about facing challenges, making mistakes, learning and getting better.
Real world gelcoat repair. On the water in the Florida heat. Part 2: Making and using nonskid molds
I start with a fiberglass-reinforced gelcoat mold as demonstrated by Andy from BoatworksToday but run into some difficulties. A tuna can comes in handy for making a flexible silicone mold of my nonskid. You’re welcome to come along and learn from my mistakes.

Real world gelcoat repair on the water in the Florida summer sun, heat and humidity. Part 1

I tackle hull damage (well above the water line), a pretty bad case of dock rash, and cabin top damage caused by a knotted jib sheet getting loose in a gale. This video encapsulates what I learned along the way.
My First Sailing Race is an Ocean Race

Proof that if you untie the lines and get out on the water you will experience interesting things. On the way to the race we get pulled over by the Coast Guard to let a submarine pass. The Tartan 3500 is known as a slow stately cruiser. That makes our outcome even more surprising. Amelia Island Sailing Club, Golden Isles Sailing Club, 2024 Georgia-Florida Ocean Challenge Race

An unforgettable father-daughter adventure. Upwind sailing in the Atlantic Ocean with Rachel. We nearly run aground getting through Little Mud River. A very close encounter with a dredger. We dinghy ashore at Cumberland Island.

One 60 mile day on the ICW with some of the most stunning scenery of the trip and then a 24 hour ocean sail where conditions deteriorate overnight. A miserable night at sea.

We raise the sails in Albemarle Sound. This leg is notable for beautiful scenery and great food. A couple of bonehead docking moves in Oriental.

We’re not full-time cruisers. Just ordinary people who worked through hundreds of logistical issues to get their sailboat, Blown Aweigh, to the start of the ICW. Gale warnings the day we traveled from Hampton Virginia to Portsmouth Virginia. Lots of help from generous friends and family. Thoughts on when to do an ICW trip and how far to travel in a day.

The Jabsco marine toilet stopped working a week into our intracoastal waterway trip. Tips and tricks to temporize and then a rebuild with the service kit and joker valve.

I learned a spring line technique for single-handed docking. I've included a brief animation illustrating the steps. Stick around to watch half a dozen fails and then growing confidence and success.
Inlets: Leaving the Atlantic intracoastal waterway (ICW) to sail the Atlantic ocean

Wind, currents and waves can make inlets treacherous. Come along as we experience 6 inlets for the first time. Three of them were a bit rough. One was particularly brutal.
