Nice video Andy thanks for bringing us along Looks like you guys had a good time its always good to have company, man they are getting a grip to swing on a ball , such a rip off man .
It's funny how yday, while at work, the first thing I wanted to do when I got home was to watch the Sole" video I knew was there. I love how you show all of the 'little things' that other channels skip over, like actually handling he mooring lines and the exchanges you have on the radio. Everyone can get the big ticket items from ASA but it's all the little things that are going to make us look like morons. So thx for that. And your opening segments are just as addictive as the rest of the video. Pls keep it. Another great vid!
Another great weekend. Used to anchor at Cat harbor back in the seventies all the time. Idaho potatoes are the best. You have that C30 really running well. From the beginning you have made that boat shine.
Wow! the price of mooring has really gone up since I was there last. My favorite mooring is Fourth of July Cove, small and very private. Good shot of the Catalina Goldfish the Garibaldi. Fantastic drone footage as well underwater, brings back fond memories. FYI, another thought is a cheap infrared thermometer, to check motor temp. Great video thanks Andy.
Thanks Bob. Yeah I have one of those thermometers I just keep forgetting to bring it to the boat. The mooring price is a bummer (more reason to anchor) but the snorkeling was awesome!
Great vid the calico bass and the octopus shots were really cool !! $60.00 for a mooring FU$K UP is that summer weekend price ? there would be a windless in my future ! LOL
Thanks man. No I don’t think that is an inflated summer price or anything, pretty sure that is the daily rate now. Did you see my photo post about a week ago? I already bought a windlass, just sorting out the installation but it’s coming very soon.
Thanks Mike. I’m doing my best to get out as often as I can. I’m using the DJI MAVIC Air (1st gen). It’s pretty old now and doesn’t fly very long but still works pretty well.
My AIS only receives, it doesn’t transmit my location. I have the STANDARD HORIZON VHF w/Hailer, GPS, AIS Rcvr, N2K, Black (GX2400B). It has a small screen of its own as well it will put the AIS targets on my Raymarine Axiom chart plotter screen via the NMEA2000 network.
Are you still running the electric motor on the Dinghy with the flex solar panel as it looked like that about mid-way in the video? How is it working out or are you still evaluating it?
Hi Obi Wan, yes I’m still using that same exact dinghy setup as in my video about it. It works pretty well for ship to shore just not long hauls. Been using that setup for nearly two years now and it works great if you’re not in a hurry.
@@sailingsole Thanks. I think it is brilliant of you to do it that way. I'm still shopping for a boat and will be going to the auction I learned about from you (with a Buddy to tell me "No" when I get too excited. She knows me well and will make a great Mate). I need to start learning about Dinghys but think whatever I get I will convert to your method (maybe a bigger battery and two of the panels back to back that can be separated if I am by myself)
@@sailingsole I keep forgetting to ask, how many feet is your dinghy and can it safely carry three adults for ship-to-shore or is it better to stay with two? How big do they need to get to be safe/comfortable for 3 adults (I'm thinking two adults and groceries or three adults)? For a 27 to 35 foot sloop.
@@benkanobe7500 my dinghy is 8.6 feet long and can carry three adults safely. It’s all relative really so it’s tough to tell you a formula that works for everyone. 🤙🏼
uuggggg i almost didn't give a like it was sitting at 69 likes and i didn't want to ruin it. but i figured it was gonna get ruined soon enough, so i just did it. now i feel so much shame lol great video by the way!
@@sailingsole i wish. i live in New Mexico, about 12 hours from the nearest ocean. but i travel a lot, and i have an uncle that lives in San Diego. so there's a chance we will run into each other, especially since i wanna try to make it to one of those boat auctions lol
Nice video Andy thanks for bringing us along
Looks like you guys had a good time its always good to have company, man they are getting a grip to swing on a ball , such a rip off man .
Thanks Glenn. Ya I was pretty bummed it went up to $60 for my Catalina 30. I thought $46 was a bit steep before but now it’s $60! Fun trip though 🤙🏼

Right on Brad. I’m super stoked that you dig it. Cheers! 🤙🏼
What a atmosphere my friend, this whole upload is simply majestic here! Bravo 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you!
I’m still on a high from this past weekend, it was a really fun trip and the snorkeling was awesome. Cheers!
Great guitar music!!
🤙🏼
It's always a good time watching your videos. Thanks for everything!
🤙🏼
Nicely done. Good energy. I enjoyed the trip. I began sailing like you a few years back. Keep going.
Thanks Robert. It’s been a fun ride so far. Cheers!
Oh bro you living your life man
YOLO! Let’s gooooo! 😂🤙🏼
Fun video to watch. Looks like a good time was had.
Thank bro. Yeah we finally got off our boats and did some adventurizing, it was fun 🤙🏼
EPIC! Was expecting a higher F-bomb score. Those are rookie numbers 😂😂
I totally agree! I’ll work on that 😂
Another great weekend. Used to anchor at Cat harbor back in the seventies all the time. Idaho potatoes are the best. You have that C30 really running well. From the beginning you have made that boat shine.
Thanks Ken. She’s definitely got her bumps and bruises but I try to give her the TLC she deserves. We take care of each other!
@@sailingsole it shows for sure. October is my target date to get a C30. May have to hit you up for some tips on what to look out for.
@@k5kensails hit me up! 🤙🏼
your caution is commendable.
Thank you

Good Captioning on your decision to head to twin harbors.
Thanks Ben 🤙🏼

always good to have 2/3 jerry cans of deisel strapped on deck.
I don’t go that far to need it yet.
your doing great for a learner, only 5 more year for a skippers ticket
😂 Thanks
Nice!
🤙🏼
Your intro and ending music reminds me of a one season show called Firefly. You kinda fit the character of the show.
That’s funny. I remember the name but not the show.
Dolphins make any sail just that much better.
Thanks for watching Andrew 🤙🏼
I really enjoy the shows keep them coming. What drone were you using?
Thanks Mike. I’m doing my best to get out as often as I can. I’m using the DJI MAVIC Air (1st gen). It’s pretty old now and doesn’t fly very long but still works pretty well.
Which AIS did you end up installing on your boat?
My AIS only receives, it doesn’t transmit my location.
I have the STANDARD HORIZON VHF w/Hailer, GPS, AIS Rcvr, N2K, Black (GX2400B). It has a small screen of its own as well it will put the AIS targets on my Raymarine Axiom chart plotter screen via the NMEA2000 network.

sailing solo....walking on bow...do u have a remote kill switch if Shtf?
There’s no kill switch to take down your sails or turn your autopilot around.
Hey if you need more boat friends I'm in LB right across from you guys 😆
I’m always down to meet cool people! If you see me at the marina yell at me and I’ll come say hey! 🤙🏼😂
uuggggg i almost didn't give a like
it was sitting at 69 likes and i didn't want to ruin it.
but i figured it was gonna get ruined soon enough, so i just did it.
now i feel so much shame lol
great video by the way!
Hahahaha when I first started reading this comment I was like “why” 🤣🤣 right on! 🤙🏼
@@sailingsole perfect! that's what i was going for lol
@@PKAdventures cheers bro! Are you in the area?
@@sailingsole i wish. i live in New Mexico, about 12 hours from the nearest ocean. but i travel a lot, and i have an uncle that lives in San Diego. so there's a chance we will run into each other, especially since i wanna try to make it to one of those boat auctions lol
@@PKAdventures right on man. Hope to see you there. Come say hi if you make it.
