Great video. I saw the green flash in Key West decades ago and everyone thought I was hallucinating. Would have like you to capture it. I am thinking you may need to use a high speed setting for the few minutes at sunset as it is so fast. Thanks for another adventure.

Luckyfish Gets Away → FWIW: I am *NOT* an expert on opening coconuts. That said, I think it might[?] be better using the "ballpeen" side of the hammer's head to strike against the coconut. That would concentrate the force from the hammer strikes on a smaller area of the surface.
I was AMAZED that the nut was cleaved perfectly "equatorially"! I usually smack the nut right "between the eyes and mouth" on hard ground, or against a rock. That tends to smoosh the "face" area, and break the rest of the shell into 3 pieces along the "meridians" between the "eyes and mouth". ..but having it break clean in half!? Impressive!! I shall HAVE to try that technique.
Hi Stewart and Girls, another entertaining video in the can. How often do you need to relash? Did you relash with the lashing technique you learned from the crew of the Hokulea?
+jay hunt thanks alot. We have heard of Wharrams, with lashings that have been done well, lasting 15 years before a re-lash. Clearly we had alot to learn to get reliability like that. Yes, we did re-lash the whole boat with that exact same technique used by Hokulea, the "cross-over" or "in-the-seam" method. We used man-power and big marlin spikes just like they do. Key difference we have found since re-lashing is the way the boat feels. She is stiff and says "power me up!". Looking forward to sharing that video about 3 weeks from now. Cheers from Stew and crew
The very best of luck. They are out there, it's just a waiting game for one to come on the market! Still got to get the run down from you on the last one you looked at :-)
Too easy. Which version would you like? There are three to choose from: Brief, intermediate and comprenensive with photos. (For the latter I would need your e-mail address.)
+Leo Sorbello - great question and happy to say it works extremely well on all points of sail including dead down wind as long as we have more than about 4 kts apparent over the vane. We made a short video describing the unit and showing how it operates here bit.ly/2vzkvwa What sort of rudders do/will you have? Transom hung? Cheers from Stew
+Vet Tails' Sailing Chuffed good luck, its handy to have that option with your boat. What can possibly go wrong? Cheers and thanks for the comment, Stew, Zaya and Tuya

In Asturias, Spain sea urchins are called oricios and their caviar is considered a delicacy. I have been on fishing expeditions to collect them and they are delicious.
+WhiteVanMan - We will have to be brave one day and try them. The Maoris love them too, they call them Kina but I can't get past the smell! How do you tell the caviar from the rest of the mush inside??
The mush looks disgusting, the caviar an orangey pink, a bit like the orange bit in a scallop, scoop it out with a teaspoon. I think they only produce the caviar at a certain time of year, the rest of the year they are just full of mush. Also as ever with shellfish you want to be certain the water they are in is clean.
+james michael, thanks so much for your concern James. All good. Irma passed just a few miles west of the boat, in Central Florida. Far too close for comfort. We had word this morning that everything is fine. We are in Mongolia and well out of harms way. Returning to Luckyfish early November. Thanks again, Stew, Zaya and Tuya
+pieterw4809 Good question. Hanneke Boon explained the difference recently in a Facebook post. They are using the s/s truckie straps on the Mana 24 as it is a trailerable boat that needed a quick set-up/pull down method. They look very neat and ideal for that job. For something larger like the T38 the loadings are much greater so rope lashings are used. Also the frapping turns used on the rope lashings really add some tension. Thanks for the question, Cheers
On my 26 I replaced the lashings from the mast and aft beam with 35 mm straps at a SWL of 2000kgs each, mainly because of the same issue as you mentioned but in that case I like the advantage to tighten instantly, plus the ease of disassembling. (I believed the straps are used on the 30' as well).
Lashing video coming!? Hoorah! Whoo-hoo! ..been waitin' for that! :) Question for you: Is your mainsail, and/or the mizzen, boomless or is the boom "detachable"? I seem to remember that you were flying your sails boomless, at some point. My "upcoming" proa will have a boomless main, because a boom on a shunting boat (it doesn't tack or jibe) is a major pain in the backside. My sail will be much like a very large lateen sail, with a "partial" gaff-like spar, hauled up by the halyard from which hangs the "luff" (upper) sail edge, with the tack of the sail (the pointy corner forward) attached to the "bow" via a "hold down", and the sheet attached to the clew of the freely flying "boomless" mainsail. ..the "shunt" (used instead of tacking or jibing) is done by coming beam on to the wind, easing the mainsheet, hauling the tack of the mainsail from one "bow" to the other "bow", trimming the mainsheet to proceed "the other way", and then choosing the desired course and further trimming to that. Yes, the boat has TWO bows. Only one used AS a bow at a time, of course, but each serves as "the bow" in alternating fashion while sailing. The smaller "ama" (outrigger hull), smaller than the wa'a hull (main hull) is ALWAYS to windward, and the sail is ALWAYS on the same side of the boat, to leeward (d'uh!). I like to call the bows the "starboard bow", as seen from the always-to-windward side of the boat, and the other the "port bow", to distinguish them. The axis of symmetry of a proa is 90degrees different from a "normal" boat with a "fixed" bow and stern. ..so, the "quarters" of the boat are described as (clockwise) the Starboard Bow, the Windward Beam, the Port Bow, and the Leeward Beam,.. and the Stern is "where water leaves you", and the Bow is "where water approaches you". Getting the terminology straight with the crew would PROBABLY be a good thing! :) Anyway,.. looking forward to the lashing video, as pretty much everything on my proa will be attached to everything else via lashing. Big mahaloz, and aloha nui to you guys! 🤙
+Alapiko ma Mālolonui great backgrounder on Proa's - thank you. Almost beginning to understand them now, and also understand why you guys use the word shunting, because it simply is not tacking or gybing!. Interesting. Yeah, the main and foresails are loose footed. We control twist on the main (aft sail) using standard traveller and mainsheet. The foresail twist is controlled by adjusting a double mainsheet system (no traveller). Both methods achieve the desired results. Good idea to ditch the boom on a proa. Makes a ton of sense. Thanks alot for the comment!
God, I do love the look of a gaff schooner! :) Do you not bother with the topsails? Yeah, proa's can be rather a "mania/addiction", as they're so "weird". I think most sailors see them as a craft that somehow snuck (sneaked?) out of Area 51. So, is the "structure" below the sail(s) just the "bag" to hold the sail when reefed or down? I thought I saw a boom in there? Personally, I'd LOVE to see you guys go fully through the various maneuvers (tacking, gybing, heaving to, reefing), but that might be too "geeky" a request. I'll go back through your vids to see if I can get a better understanding of your loose footed rig. Best to you guys! Mahalo a me aloha īa ʻoukou!
What you may have seen is the gaff. When on anchor we flake the foresail and tie it up to the gaff, put the sail cover over the lot (it removes completely when sailing), then hoist the bundle above head height. Yeah, you are right about a maneuvers video, multi cam etc etc. Nothing geeky about that is there? LOL It's definitely on the list. Please feel free to share our stuff to anyone you think maybe interested! Especially the geeks! Cheers
OH,.. thatʻs right, the gaff (spar) comes down atop the sail! DUH..!! Silly me. Do you reef into a "bundle" at the foot, and sheet it from the clew of the "bundle"? I need to go back and review your sailing across the South Atlantic, obviously. ..and, yeah,.. nothing geeky about sailing how-to's! :) I'll spread the great product of Lucky Fish to everyone that seems likely interested, especially those dubious of catamarans (and other multihulls).
Thanks! here is an image of the Wharram wingsail reefing setup. bit.ly/2gxcsJG We dont use the reef lines through the leech cringles as shown but I am going to give it a try. It can be a bit of struggle moving the blocks up to a flogging clew when putting in a reef and this will negate the need to do it.
+marty jouett, thanks so much for your concern Marty. We are all fine, in Mongolia. Luckyfish just, only just, dodged Irma. The track passed within a few miles of her location in Central Florida. We have been posting updates on Facebook. Luckyfish Gets Away is the page. Cheers and thanks again, Stew and Zaya
can't wait to beach my rig, anything weird you noticed about it? I'm looking at a wharram myself, love the simple and flexible design, not to mention the ability to repair just by replacing rope, that's attractive to my wallet.
+Finding Simon - not really anything weird about it. We did the homework on the site and things went fine. Yeah, the Wharram simplicity is hard to beat. Check out the Wharram Catamaran Facebook Group if you are getting into these boats. Plenty of helpful folks there, or drop us any questions here of course :-) Cheers Stew
Another excellent offering sir! I too find it very ironic that Bombadier has a sweet spot in paradise and their product is banned. LOL That is sweet! I'm just not a fan of the noisy destroyers of tranquility!!
+ScubaTony Anschultz plus one to that sir! We have governments and authorities like the EPA to step in when 1. an invention is made for commercial rather than social objectives and 2. the operators of said inventions are found wanting in the area of "consideration for others". Unfortunately, governments tend to go with the voters or the easy path rather than actually govern. That's my take on it anyway. Hats off to the government of SVG for taking the initiative. Thanks for your great comment ! Cheers from Stew, Zaya and Tuya
+Graeme Henderson six of the ingredients are here :-) th-cam.com/video/wYAOqxDjpcs/w-d-xo.htmlm3s plus bitters. We don't bother with nutmeg. The proportions are up to you but the classic is "One of sour, two of sweet, three of strong and four of weak". The dark rum is best mixed with coconut rum instead of the white, but that stuff is pricey. We substitute the fruit juice for powder to reduce weight when sailing. Next we need a still. Oh yeah! What's your favorite recipe?

Wow, I saw your boat beached in Bequia and found you on TH-cam. The Bequia Regatta photos that I took are on the official Bequia Regatta website: www.bequiaregatta.com/photos.html
+Canyon Duncan - beautiful images! What a small world it is, and TH-cam makes it even smaller. Please feel free to share our Bequia videos with people you know there. We really had a wonderful time on your beautiful island. And say hi to African, Shelton and Socony from us! Thank you, Stew, Zaya and Tuya
I don't understand the mystique around this green flash thing. The sun is yellow, the ocean water is blue, if you combine yellow and blue you get green. It's basically just finding the right position to see a glimpse of the sun setting through the edge of the water at the horizon. I don't understand what's so mysterious about that...

I liked that 'trust' in coconut hammering . Great info on beaching and urchins as well '-)
thanks again guys .
+Key Topic its all about trust lol. Glad you enjoyed!
Your 3ft draft is so great. Would never be able to do this in a keel boat like I intended to purchase. Love the videos.

nice to see you again all at 21.30 Lt in Netherlands
Thanks Rolf!
Just WooW!!
Amjilt husie!!! 💐

+Rick Ruehl good one! It looked more like a very brief bright green sparkle than the broad flash I was expecting. How would you describe what you saw?

Great video. love following you all! I have only seen green flash a couple times.
+Rolling With The Whitneys great to hear from you, thanks so much for commenting! Stew, Zaya and Tuya
awesome stuff as usual. thanks for sharing guys.
Nice video again guys. I am definitely falling in love with Bequia.

I'll spend the time trying to find a 38! :)

Hi stew and lady's , great episode, I have s question about your windvane system , does it work on your catamaran .
+Leo Sorbello - great question and happy to say it works extremely well on all points of sail including dead down wind as long as we have more than about 4 kts apparent over the vane. We made a short video describing the unit and showing how it operates here bit.ly/2vzkvwa What sort of rudders do/will you have? Transom hung? Cheers from Stew
Your videos are so relaxing and peaceful to watch..you missed your calling as a narrator!..Cheers!.
Thanks very much
Great way to say it. Could not agree more.
mrabrasive51 captain African knows his stuff if I ever get to that part of the world is will charter his boat
Another great post guys! watching from UB avidly.
+Nairuulagch Thank you! You have very interesting videos. Are you a producer for local TV? Cheers
We've been meaning to try beaching our girl for a while, monohull but has a lifting keel, we will work up the courage soon haha nicely done!
+Vet Tails' Sailing Chuffed good luck, its handy to have that option with your boat. What can possibly go wrong? Cheers and thanks for the comment, Stew, Zaya and Tuya
Great video. I am also very much looking forward to the upcoming lashing video. I like to see videos explaining and showing Tiki 38 details. :)
+Sailing SV Satoshi sure thing, we will keep trying to include as much on the tech side of the boat in videos.. Thanks to you as always, Stew and Zaya

OK, got it now. That is good to know, thank you
Stew.. I was curious as to how your rudders are attached to the hulls.. Are they attached by ropes or by hardware? Cheers!! :):)
Ropes - next video (copper bottoms :-) shows how they are lashed...

hope your boat is out of harms way of the storm and you and crew
