- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- As Halloween approaches, watch us prep and launch our Catalina 22 for a weekend of sailing mischief. We enjoy a wide range of sailing conditions from slow and easy to hold on and pray. We spend a rainy day exploring the forest and beaches that surround the beautiful Lake James NC.
Halloween brings intense winds that defy the boundaries of our comfort zones, forcing them to expand.
SV Sophia is a 1990 Catalina 22 with a fixed, wing keel also known as a shoal keel.
Music: Epidemic Sound

Another awesome video!! Loved the mix of practical tips, narration, classical music, sponge bob references, fall colors and of course, your camera and editing skills. You are truly blessed to have a wife who loves to do the same things with you. Keep setting these high bars on videos and a whole bunch of us are going to have to learn to pole vault........
Well thank you Slim 😃 You're right; I'm a very lucky dude🥰
Your artistic photography is some of the best I've seen in some time. Thanks for the enjoyable fall sail.
Wow 😊 Thanks for the compliment !! Glad you enjoyed the ride 😃😃
"Not a sky in the clouds"... I love it! Awesome video, especially with the awesome music!
Thanks Sean 😄😄 I knew somebody out there would appreciate that 👍
Great video! Must be nice not having to deal with the 20' twice daily tides like we get up here.
Glad to see you enjoying sailing early in life . So many can't enjoy a boat unless it travels 60 mph. Sailboats are such a wonderful experience. I was in my 50's before we bought ours. I regret not doing it earlier .
Yeah, I got this one (my first) at 40. I wish I would have started earlier too.
I came of age in the early 70's. I wanted to learn to do three things life. Become good at tennis, snow skiing and sailing. I got pretty good at the first two, in addition to two marriages and raising three children. I didn't get around to starting sailing until I was 67. And yes, I wish I had started a lot earlier. But you can sail well into your 70's provided you are in good health.
the adventures you and your girl have l had 30 years ago . A van , a 20ft boat and a girl . Your video brings back a lot of memorys . Lake James looks huge . Have fun 👍
I'm glad you liked it Martin😊 We enjoy it. Wish we could be out there more.
Yeah ! Great sailing... You were moving along.. Fun stuff, good times.
Bill Turner? As in Boot Strap Bill Turner? Ha Ha. Yeah, we were rippin along pretty good. The wind is all over the place out there.
@@odysseyofjason boot strap... William Turner. That's me..lol
Love it. So relaxing to watch.
Thanks 😃 👍
That was awesome guys!! Thanks for the ride along! It just doesn't get much better than camping from a sailboat and of course adding a little excitement too!
Thanks for watching😃 Got wild for a minute there 😂
I love sailing at Lake James! We have overnighted in that same cove quite a few times!
Maybe we'll see you out there sometime! 🙂
It's easy to get whitecaps on the Linville side of the lake when a cold front is blowing in out of the NW. It comes down off the face of the Blue Ridge and runs down through a slot on the lake. You can walk out on that pier, which is sheltered from winds out of the NW to NE. But look out a hundred yards or so and you can see the whitecaps rolling and the wind will be blowing 20 to 30 mph. I've had planing dinghies out in that, and sometimes it's simply too much.
You're right, sometimes it gets wild out there and it can go from calm to crazy in a few minutes. We've had some white knuckle moments for sure.
Where are you sailing man. Would like to look it up on Google earth. Fun video, cool under pressure. You can tell a real sailor because when the wind turns to a gale and you know what hits the fan there grinning from ear to ear and thinking bring it on. The Columbia river gorge is like that, light or no winds, or a near death ride. Keep having adventures.
This is Lake James in North Carolina. It can be very unpredictable and things change quickly...
A bit of a clarification: When I said "I never panicked. I was cool and composed the whole time" That might not have been entirely true 😉😅
Fun Vid. A van is the way to go. I want one. I sail a similar size boat. Cool to see how you do things. New sub here from Galveston Island, Texas. 👍🏼 #36 from me.
Glad you enjoyed it 😃Thanks for the sub brother 👍
Love the cinematic feel of your videos. Your cruising grounds are very scenic. You have a great eye. Had some wonderful sailing experience in the Catalina 22 myself. Last summer, we bought a Catalina Capri 26, Sailing Vessel Odyssey 🙂
Thank you so much for the kind words.☺ Comments like this really help to keep me excited about making more videos. SV Odyssey... How cool is that ?😃
BTW, the lake scenes in the movie "Last of the Mohicans" was shot on the Linville side of Lake James where Jason and his wife are sailing; so yes, it is a beautiful place.
@@gordonipock9385 Thanks for the info. Sailing on the wide expanse of Lake Ontario for me is a different experience. The shoreline isn't as picturesque th-cam.com/video/PvMxfprsEIs/w-d-xo.html
Howdy, O of J. I'm so psyched for the sailing weather ahead. Trailer sailors in West Virginia! We're liking the idea of a multi-day trip to Lake Lanier in GA, nine hours drive, where we could put the mast up once (P-18) and sail for a few days, mooring, docked, either one. Any other recommendations?
I've been looking at Jocassee Lake in South Carolina. Not sure how good the sailing would be but the place looks absolutely amazing. The water is supposed to be really clear. There's cliffs and waterfalls, they have boat in campsites but the shores are rocky so you would have to anchor out. I'm hoping to get there this summer.
Love the videos, quick question. What size is the tarp you're using to cover the boat? Nice pool noodle hack...
Thanks, Tim in Ventura, Ca.
92 Cat22 fin keel
Glad you like the vids. The tarp is 12 x 24
Just bought a Catalina 25 we have had it on lake James a few times now
Nice . . . Do you tow it to the lake ? I looked at some 25s but thought it would be too difficult to set up and launch/retrieve.
@@odysseyofjason yes we did I tow it with an 04 Ford e250 it tows it well. Recovering it from the ramp is 50/50. I make sure I have a second vehicle to help pull me out
@@rucksackcircus4328 Very cool, maybe we'll see you out there.
what dinghy is that?
It's a Walker Bay 8. Super versatile little boat. We really like it.
I didn't come to see tarps folded, and vans unloaded. Just saying
😂😁 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Do yourself a favor, and lose the first 4.5 minutes, we don't need all that
Thanks for the feedback Todd. 😊
@@odysseyofjason good luck. I did enjoy the rest of the video, and will be checking back in with you
speak for yourself, gives a great feel to the vid. you can always skip ahead. plus I like the noodle tip.
Well done man, I’ll sub!
Hey, glad you liked it 😃 Thanks for the Sub 😊
