A riveting watch guys! Love the slightly longer format with just boat life clips! More please! (Note - that’s the Commonwealth of Dominica for those of you that might confuse it with the other Dominica)
Great video... At 4.40 with you on a starboard reach, you can see a shroud or side stay turnbuckle flapping around. Yup, you have a loose rig... Did the engine hydraulic with sea water... It happens... Most things can be fixed... Well done for getting going again...
Thank you! You're exactly right on both diagnoses. We had just re-rigged the boat and our rigger warned us that it would need a re-tune in the near future... but by Guadeloupe we had totally forgotten about that (our fault). With the engine, we ended up re-running our exhaust hose plus adding an anti-siphon valve to our raw-water intake. Thankfully the problem hasn't happened since. We appreciate your encouragement. It's been a humbling journey with many lessons to learn

@@sailinglapero Cruising is like that... Joyful and humbling. When it goes right, it's amazing. When it goes wrong it can be terrifying...
Need some Bindi swim fetch footage/sailing dog content. I would love a sailing dog instagram.
It is one thousand percent in the works 😊 Just gotta figure out how to strap a go-pro to Bindi's harness to get that first-person view for fetch!
