Would love to see a tour of cabin set up for long distance cruising. Safety at sea. Storage of food for long hauls. And esp. an alternative head / toilet?
You'll see some glimpses of the cabin if you keep an eye out. But as my home for many years, that's my personal space and my interest in displaying it for viewing and judgment to the world for free on youtube is of little interest to me. I did add handrails to the ceiling over the settee which were invaluable. A Flicka moves alot and quicker than a bigger boat. They were added as handholds and as a way to add a lee net for sleeping on the settee. An alternative I came up with to a lee cloth. It worked great. An added advantage of this turned up. When I was standing up in front of the galley, and the boat unexpectedly rolled to starboard, the lee net caught my fall many times. sailingwithjosh.com/2022/03/22/the-resourceful-sailor-weaves-a-lee-net/ I devised a way to keep the dropboards in. sailingwithjosh.com/2024/02/27/the-resourceful-sailor-secured-sampaguitas-drop-boards/ I easily stored over three months of food using the ice box and liner storage spaces. The head was the simplest. Just a bucket and an old toilet seat. Like a home toilet, I put a little water in the bucket. I almost exclusively used it in the cockpit. Always rolly, always bracing with my hands, and sometimes wet with the spray coming aboard. But if it's going to spill or slosh, better in the cockpit than in the cabin. And much simpler and safer to dispose of. Once you're away from the US mainland, it's bucket and chuck it. It was always challenging to move anything liquid from down below in the cabin up to the cockpit. Whether a cup of tea, coffee, soup, or the bucket, spillage was a definite possibility. The movement was incredible.
@@sailingwithjosh Thanks Josh. Very helpful insights. I use the settee to sleep as well. (Half body on settee, feet in V-berth). Understand not showing world your personal space. Will keep watching for sure! Keep on sailing..!! 🙏👍🏻
I see you don’t have the stove on gimbals. Can you cook while healing at 10-15 deg.? Looks like in this video your mostly flat. Will try to post some videos of my FLICKA-20 soon.
No gimbals. What you see there is downwind so we're rolling alot. But I managed without it gimballing just fine. I only used one deep pan to cook everything and kept the contents shallow. So cooking at 10-15 degrees was accomplished.
While I can't speak for the bird's thoughts, I have since learned that boobies in particular commonly want to land on boats at dusk to roost for the night on the ocean. A boat is the only thing around to land on. Once it gets too dark, they are unable to land. Otherwise, they roost on the water.
what a lovely evening...I hoped you gave your guest a treat or two
Looks like a perfect evening at sea. I hope all is well with you and Sampaguita.

Roger that. Less is more.!

do birds land on boats because they want to take a rest from flying?
While I can't speak for the bird's thoughts, I have since learned that boobies in particular commonly want to land on boats at dusk to roost for the night on the ocean. A boat is the only thing around to land on. Once it gets too dark, they are unable to land. Otherwise, they roost on the water.
Im thinking if you boul potatoes in sea water there would be no need to add salt...
Correct, that's how it was done and part of the joke.
Not a great place 😂😂😂😂
Am I the only one who just eats out of the pot caveman style? I figure nobody else is here…
Oh, you are not the only one. In this case it was about the butter though!
