Hey All! We got a new lens filter right before we shot this video, and I (Jes) never checked the footage while we were filming. Turns out I didn't have it on quite right, so you might see a slight rainbow effect on the footage for this week. Live and learn, right!? As always thanks to all for the support, and Enjoy the extra colors 🌈
ME TOO! At some point I will have to film Phoenix when she hears me EDITING video where the engine turns on. She hears the "beep" and starts running arround all excited 😂
Great video guys, i love that you are talking about the sails and how you are setting them up. Strange the Leopard have 2 main sheets, not seen that before...when passed by savannah a few weeks back, we counted 20 ships anchored out there, wonder what that's all about.
Lol! I did see the rainbow effect! 🌈 😆. Ok on the sea 🌊 sick 😫 thing. If you step outside and stick your head into the wind it will help a bunch. So the best thing is try to prepare your food and drink 🍸 before you set out. Enough for a couple of days. Tell you get your sea 🌊 legs 🦵. Ok untell next week, Aloha from the Big Island 🏝 of Hawaii 🏝
Fantastic video Charles and Jes as always. Great to see you on the water again and what a way to get back into it with a smooth sail! Got to love AIS because you never want to play "chicken" with an anchored container ship lol Be safe and as always looking forward to your next adventure!
Thanks so much! I will never forget about the 100's of cruise ships we passed in the Great Bahama bank when we were leaving. All those ships with nothing to do.... it was so eerie. But ever since then, I have worried about what's out there!!
To aid in the lazy jacks getting hung up you can add a slacking line to the top guys and prior to raising the main and they will lay closer to the mast and be well clear of the batten ends. Once the sail is up re-tighten the lazy Jack and good to go. Duel Pulley on top to a line, to the top of lazy jacks, down to turning block(s) to a clutch. Just one more line... Right?
Now that you mention it - we have lines on the lazy jacks that we can easily raise and lower. Our's our are rigged a little differently (we have two independent lines) but I will definitely give that a shot next time!
@@FolsomOceanViews would love to see what you learn .... have chartered once with the Moorings (Leopard) and had the very same issue ... also haven't figured out the main sail with the two lines thing ... would be nice to hear how you handle it in more details.
I have enjoyed your videos and found some very helpful info as you guys shared your learning experiences. Hopefully we'll run into you guys one day next year. We plan to move onboard our Leopard in December and head to the Bahamas for the season, so we'll keep an eye out for you while we are learning to live onboard. Thanks for you videos.
Congratulations 🎉🎊🍾 moving aboard and starting this adventure is such a wonderful experience! I’m sure we will run into you at some point - the boating world is a small one, it seems everyone knows everyone else after a while 🙌🏻
You need to check your rigging. You sail issue maybe related to the top of your mast tilting stern of the boat. Any quick bend(s) in the mast is a concern. More so on a CAT. See video at 13:35
I was going to write something else till the car toting ship came into the story.. We all think a like as my first thoughts is the lost inventory..The total loss of the ship. The dismantling cost.. . Have to research this ..Wishing y’all safe travels!
The vast majority of sailboats are rigged with a traveler (a turning block and track that runs perpendicular to the boat) and a mainsheet (a line/rope that connects the boom to the traveler). On a catamaran, with the extra width, the traveler is generally the first thing that you adjust when setting your sail trim. Between the traveler moving across the coach roof, and the amount of mainsheet you have let out, it is fairly intuitive to put the boom where you want it. For example, when sailing upwind, you typically would keep the mainsheet tight and move the traveler about 1/3 of the way towards the windward side of the boat. This will keep the main sail dead down the center line of the boat and let you point just a little bit farther upwind. On our boat, instead of a traveler and main sheet, we have 2 main sheets. The turning blocks for the main sheets are placed at the very end of where the traveler would extend to (if it existed). This means that instead of using the traveler to control the horizontal position of the boom, and the main sheet to control the vertical (until you get outside the traveler anyway) - we have to use both main sheets together. So in the upwind example from above, we tighten the windward main sheet to pull the boom closer to the wind (mimicking the movement of the traveler) and use the leeward side sheet to control the height. It's a little less intuitive (if you ask me) because you have to think about how the two lines will work together instead of just one line controlling horizontal and the other controlling vertical. But there are 2 major benefits that we've found: 1) An accidental jibe is far less dangerous. If you never extend the boom past the turning blocks, then the leeward main sheet acts as a preventer. 2) Once you get the boom where you want it, you can tighten down both sheets a little and there is very little boom movement. On a light wind day with a traveler/main sheet the boom might flop around and make a bunch of noise, but we don't ever have to worry about that. Sorry for the long answer, but hopefully that helps!
..... Oh the joys of leaving the dock ... 10 miles down a channel to get to open water, well that would get tedious right smartly ... had to laugh at the pups excitement at the engines starting .... .... have had a stove top pressure cooker for a few years, am expecting an insta-pot to show up this week, looking forward to setting a timer and dins to be ready when I walk in the door.

No Leopard shoes on order as of yet (so says Imelda). Thanks. D.
Haha 😂. Those shoes are falling apart / BUT I will absolutely wear them until they do!
I love how excited the puppies get to go sailing!
ME TOO! At some point I will have to film Phoenix when she hears me EDITING video where the engine turns on. She hears the "beep" and starts running arround all excited 😂
Leopard shoes, Monarch butterflies and rolled over car carriers, what more could one ask for. Great vid as always. Thanks. D.
We do what we can!! 🐆 🦋 🚢
Great video! Nice to see a video where you’re not busy fixing something and can enjoy the experience, lol…
Serisouly! We were so happy not to be working on the boat and to just enjoy it for a while 🙌
What a nice relaxing sail
It really was.... but the follow up video (out sunday) managed to top this one, by far!! 🤟⛵️
Another great video sailing on a work day you crazy kids. Love the detail always learn something and always easy to follow. Glad you had the weather.
Thanks!! I am looking forward to many more sails like this down in your neck of the woods. Already started counting down the days!
Looks like you guys had a nice sail. Thanks for sharing
Billy D
Living the life!
Welcome back to the water! I look forward to living vicariously through you for another sailing season!
Thanks so much! Its been a whileind of a year 💨
I love the 80s home video look to the episode
You are so right - lots of camcorder, vhs, and vcr vibes going on!!
Special rainbow viewing - always good to see your adventures
🌈 thanks for all the support!!
Great video...So glad y'all had great weather and calm seas. Best of luck on anchor while waiting for a spot.
Thanks so much! Spoiler Alert: we got there, and it was perfection! Details next week 🤟

Keep up the great sailing and videos
Thanks, will do!
What a gorgeous sailing day. Brought tears to my eyes. 🌊⛵️🏝👙🌞🍷✨
Thank Richard! 🌈
Dataw Island Marina, between Edisto and Hilton Head is one of our favorite stops, having friendly staff, and they usually have room for transients.
We will have to check it out! We love going to Edisto to anchor out, but have never gone to any Marinas over that way.
Very nice video! GOD bless, JC
Thank you! You too!
Lol! I did see the rainbow effect! 🌈 😆.

Great video! So fun to watch your journey unfold. I hope we will share an anchorage someday! :)
We will keep an eye out for you! Seems the world is much smaller when you live on the water 🌊🏝

PTO was well worth it sir. I cannot think of many better ways to spend some time off.
Could not agree more... keep looking for ways to make every day a PTO day 😅
@@FolsomOceanViews invest, save, repeat. A dollar saved is 38% more powerful than a new dollar earned.
I’m around Bogue Inlet in NC. If y’all get up this way I’ll buy you dinner. Would love to here more of your experiences.
Awe, such a kind offer! I don't think we are going to make it up that way this year, but we have learned to never say never 🙌.
Good job, at last, risky over water hand off

Funny that we all start thinkig the same things 😂. Thanks so much 🙌
Another car carrier ship caught fire in NJ last week
I slack off my lazy jacks when I raise my sail to keep from snaging my battens
We have heard of this before but never tried it. Seems like it might be time to give it a go! Thanks for the tip!
When the power boats slow down to go by you they make more wake. It's better if power boats keep their speed as they go by.
Interesting - never thought of that! Thanks for the tip 👍
Who’s the music by. Very nice.
Very nice. I dont understand one thing. What is a dual sheet main? I know it is the main sail but what is dual sheet? Thank you and be safe.

@@FolsomOceanViews first explanation I have ever seen if this. Thanks for taking the time to explain it so simply.
*of 🤓
Are those rainbows I see? 🤔😁
Nothing but learning opportunities over here on Leviosa 🌈🙌🏻🌈
Anyone else slightly stressed when she took his ring while reaching over the edge of the boat? No? Just me? Gulp... (don't drop it!!!)
Haha - I know I was!! Will probably re-think that move for next time 😅💍
🇵🇱🙋⛵👍💙💙💙

While in Charleston, if you all need anything. Let us know.
Thats so kind of you to offer! Thanks so much 🙌
@@FolsomOceanViews You are most welcome. The wife and I move every 2 to 3 years, and know the feeling of needing stuff and not have anyone available.
