Hi- just kind of curious why they didn’t keep a spare radio wrapped in watertight material? Last time I checked the first rule of sailing is “Everything that is not wet is damp” no mater what you do!

Yes, because tiller watch sucks- I’ve done it a few times, and the thought of holding that damn’d tiller in all weather SUCKS! Cold, ice, roasting in the sun? Nope,,,no fun at all

an autopilot and motoring – does that count as sailing?

so when its nighttime, do you have a night person who keeps the boat going or you lower the sails and put out some kind of anchor? or just drift?

I thought it was interesting you all were motoring out of washington and the seas appeared very calm not typical of washington from what ive seen. Also comical when everyone commented on the pasta, but when he offered seconds the replay was oh noooo….
what a great trip I envy you guys.

Man, that’s what we all want to be again, 18 and that is very far off when you are 48! You just can do such a journey when you put all your power to it, nothing to loose!
