Looks like a great adventure! I'd love to join the 2020 challenge, but my son and I are going to the BSA's Florida Sea Base the following week. Might be a bit much to go directly from that challenge to a week on a tall ship!
Good save using the oar as a tiller. I just found a sizable piece of my tiller rotten after setting up for 10 years but I bet it started to happen when I living aboard for 5 years prior.
I had a knot in my stomach when your rudder broke, can only imagine how you felt. Then later things got worse...much worse. You were sailing that boat like you stole it :-) Great adventure.
Its interesting I didn't get a knot into my stomach till after the rudder was fixed. I stayed calm, heave to and only when I had things under control, did I realize how crazy things had gotten. And sailing that fast under double reefed mizzen and main. Tells you a little about how fast the wind was blowing.
@@williamhighsmith8071 Very interesting comment about "I didn't have a knot into my stomach till after..." What you did and how you did it thereafter speaks of you having quite a bit of experience. You can be my captain, think I will get to the other side in one peace with you on board.
Great sailing footage, loved the music! The capsize resulted in a lot more damage than I would have expected. Most open dinghy's can capsize and recover, although equipment may be lost. Why was there so much damage to the boat, were you caught in a current and hit the bridge or some other obstruction? I sail on a river where to get out to open water I have to call and request a bridge opening, and have experienced the same delayed response, adverse wind, etc. I would like to learn from what happened here.
Talking @night with headlamp on forehead ... You'd have scared an alien to death if he'd hovered over your boat ....Rofl ... Sweet boat by the way ....
James Gibling you just pay the fee, have all the stuff in the mandatory packing list, and a non motor boat/canoe/kayak/paddle board/floating log. Whatever floats your boat.

Terrific! thanks
Got some stones. I grew up sailing Mobile Bay and we lost 5 souls in the DI race a few yrs back due to lack of safety. Is that rig unsinkable?
I like your boat. What model is it? Love the fact you can paddle when there is no wind.
I think it's a core sound 17
