Yes we’re feeling lucky to have him with us. It’s been pretty epic so far. He’s loving being at sea again as he’s been a land lumber these past few years. He’s got salt in his blood 😁
Yeah it’s pretty cool. Now it’s me telling him what to do it’s pretty funny. Great to have him with us for the last few passages into Oz. He’s 81 so we feel lucky yo have him onboard.
Yeah I wish we’d been better prepared to video it as it was pretty cool to see how well she handled the short seas. Unfortunately making videos is our least favorite job as you can probably tell 😁
No she stayed dry but a bit of spray in the cockpit. Was full green water to the mast short and steep as we excited. Too rough to get any video unfortunately.
Yeah she slips along so easy it’s nut really especially as we have such a short rig! This was around 13kts true or 11’s apparent. Imagine with some nice sails, lighter displacement and full rig up! 😁 her numbers will put the million dollar all carbon boats to shame.
Thanks 🙏 the issues with the phones connection unfortunately it’s a bit worn out not much I can do as it’s intermittent and requires a new phone which won’t happen. Doing our best to make sure it doesn’t happen but sometimes it does 😁 just turn it down and put on some of your favourite music 🤙
Must be pretty special having your dad onboard. Will be a voyage to remember

Cheers buddy he’s definitely enjoying himself 😁
Since you grew up on a sailboat having Father around must make everyone feel right at home.

Good update, she looked like she was handling the sea just nicely. Having too much fun mate send me a bit of that.
Thanks 🙏 yeah she’s is loads of fun hard to sail. You’re welcome to come visit us and to come for a sail anytime!
I would have liked to see that exit from Maupiti !
Looks like the boat has a lovely motion over those swells in the vid.

With a greenie over the bow in Maupiti pass did you take any water down below?

Boat looks fast even with a reef in. What boat and wind speed was that?

@@TrimaranSpiritXL Thanks! Sure looks like it too.
What do you store in the two white buckets on your stern?
His and Hers 😁 no they carry out snorkeling gear and hull scrubbing tools 😁👍
certainly not dawdling!
Definitely 👍 got to be happy with the numbers we’ve seen so far!!
You really got to get a better wind mic. The wind is really bad on head phones, really bad.
