  • In this video I solo sail my 1978 Catalina 30 sailboat to Two Harbors, Isthmus Cove on Santa Catalina Island. I meet up with Mark from @keeldragger and David from sv Riff Raff for Captains Hour (more than once). Mark and I take an EPIC snorkel and a hike arournd the local coves.
    “Stoked” is a 1978 Catalina 30 sailboat that I got for $3500. See that story here: • EP 1 - How we got a $3...

      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 🤙🏼

    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!

    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.

    • @sailingsole
      @sailingsole  ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    • @sailingsole
      @sailingsole  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    Which AIS did you end up installing on your boat?

    • @sailingsole
      @sailingsole  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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?

    • @sailingsole
      @sailingsole  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.
