- A three day trip in a wayfarer sailboat in Pensacola Bay and Santa Rosa Sound, Florida. It features dinghy cruising, sailing, sail camping, and visits ashore.
I’m going to sail all over Florida some day, If I ever get my boat done…
Thanks for the vids👍🏼
Now we're sailing! I was there anyhow with the sunsets, the steady tiller, and camping cosy on your very own beaches. But paella, beer, and, "encouraging snacks!" Aye aye Cap'ns!!
Nice work! Thanks for sharing your adventures
Beautiful! Your relaxed natural style of presenting was so refeshing. You really captured the atmosphere. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your kind comments. I am glad to know that some of the joy of this kind of sailing is coming through.
Well Done! What a blessing to have such a wonderful cruising ground in which to play and explore. Very good film.
I sailed the Wayfarer in the Chesapeake. A terrific dinghy sailor and camper. Thank you for taking us along on your cruise. Very pleasant
Very enjoyable video, thanks for bringing us along!
Greetings from Wales.
That was very inspiring.
Thank you for taking us along on your trip.
Nice video , fantastic cooking , music in videos drives me nuts , just love hearing wind and sea and a excellently voiced narrative
Lovely video, thanks for sharing 👍.
Thank you. It is an engaging challenge to try to capture some of the spirit of a trip.
What a great trip. We don’t have Wayfarers in Australia, they seem like such a versatile boat. Hat off to your crew, no way my wife would do that!
Thanks for your kinds words. My wife says to tell your potential crew that camping on the boat was more comfortable than she expected. Wayfarers are pretty rare here, but there are a few, like mine, left over from a run that was made in the 70s.
Хорошая лодка у тебя Джонатон. У меня подобная. Я тоже на ней путешествую.А так как мне 70 лет, у меня свободного времени много и я могу позволить себе дальние , километров на 500 , плавания. Плаваю по речкам и водохранилищам. И должен сказать, что удовольствия от плавания на такой лодке, больше чем от большой парусной яхты. Большие лодки хороши пока ты молод. Удачи тебе.
Badaxe. Frank Dye would be proud!
❤ Super cool! Let’s rent a bigger boat and all 4 go through the Panama Canal or something!
Sounds great. As part of the workup we could all sail this boat through the canal that goes to Panama City from the Choctawhatchie.
@@jonathanshemwell2458 I"ve organzied a number of trips in the Britsh Virgin Islands and Bahamas in the past. I've talked about doing a trip with the group. The most economical and fun is to get 50'+ monohulls and put four couples on each. We had a blast doing this in the past filled 3 boats. Fun. Maybe we should be having this conversation in earnest.
Very nice video! I have a Sea Pearl and Compac Eclipse. Lately I’m fascinated by the Wayfarer or CL 16. Live in Michigan. I keep looking around on the internet for a used one. Love that area in the Panhandle and also the Keys. Took the Sea Pearl to Key Largo last year.
Thanks very much. The sea pearl intrigues me greatly for its shallow water capabilities and I would like to sail one sometime. I found my Wayfarer in Michigan, so something should come up. I recommend checking on the US Wayfarer site if you haven’t already. (That is how I found mine).You might also inquire directly with the Lake Eustis sailing club.

Thank you Jonathan, I appreciate it. I will follow up on that.
Great video, great story telling, felt like I was on the trip with you.
Question: I noticed you did not have an outboard as backup. Is this how you normally sail or was it due to the March wind forecast and you knew you would have winds for the whole trip. Interested in your thoughts; I don't see too many boats now that rely on sail alone, but it sure seems like a great way to go.
Lovely! Could I ask what size awning you are so successfully are using as a tent so i can try to acquire something similar for my wayfarer here in the UK? Thanks! David.
Thank you. I believe I started with a 17 ft by 10 ft awning (we call this a ‘tarp’). The idea was to have something larger in all dimensions than the boat. I then draped it over the boom, cutting a slice for the mast, and taped down in all directions to make the tarp taught. Finally, I scissored right at the gunwale all around the hull, leaving extra bits fore and aft to create closures. All of this I learned from Roger Barnes & his book on dinghy cruising.

Did you have an offshore 3 man liferaft with flares, water, rations etc
Image stabilization probably exaggerates the look of the sea state. It was wet at times but never really dicey. So no, we were our own life raft.
Great video have seen Sam Holmes sail that area your set up looks way more practical than his cat. A walk through of your set up would be great, may need a more enclosed tent for this side of the pond.
Please stop exagerating the size of your vessle. It's only 15'-10", not the impressive 16' you stated.. sheez. Besides if it was, you would have to register it. under 16 and no motor=no registration. Great videos. Great boat. Great crew.
I just bought a 16’ dinghy. Why do you put pvc pipe on your rigging? Seen this a couple of times and wondered if it’s something I should be doing. Thanks in advance
Keeps the shroud from chafing on the jib. 😀
This was a great watch.. Man I miss sailing. Might have to get back to it!
I enjoyed your video. Very nice!
Thanks for your kind comment. This is an interesting form of storytelling that I never expected to find myself doing.
