Hello. It never got the true test. We were heading to Patagonia when Patrick Passed. I had my cruising guide marked up as to what anchorages had wood available . I had it carefully planned. Many people that do this route run out of diesel because they use that for heating. Diesel is scarce there… many miles between. Like anything sailing and cruising , the best plan is to have a few different plans.

@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife Oh yes of course Rebecca, I am sorry. I do agree, always have a plan B and thank you for your reply.

Thanks, you too!

I will check it out… not sure what a BankManager is :)

yea for sure… I do

Thanks for watching!

Yep a Catalina 27 is on the small side… but it’s a good boat… had one before… and Patrick sailed one around the world!

I don’t worry too much :) When it’s my time it’s my time. I worry more about living the rest of my life bored! Yes hope it’s painless when it comes

Don’t know how to answer that question…

Ah thanks…. I’m always cautious… it’s my middle name :) I use Driveweather to make decisions to stay or go. I was willing to sail in more wind than i’m willing to drive this motorhome in :)

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t

thanks so much for watching my RVing adventures. New Mexico is so great. Colorado is too!

@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife I’m actually following you through New Mexico in October. Been doing the RV thing for years here in Alaska. Decided to purchase one just to travel the lower 48 during the winter. Summers are too nice here in Alaska to travel. So now that I got to retire early in life as you I’m going to be adventurous. Keep wearing those shades. You’ve got such a bright future!

Great idea… but if there are no bugs i don’t mind being close to mother earth :) I have a piece of cardboard if i really need to lay on something :)

Ah Jinty thanks… Where are you these days? When are we gonna share a campsite!!!

Glad you enjoyed it! And I hope you get there. It’s still to date, months after the fact really, one of my favorites!!! Colorado is pretty magnificent too though! It’s nice living on the RV full time and taking as long as i want to get places and be places in the motorhome

Ooooh this sounds great. Have you been to Pagosa Springs in CO? Pretty cool too!!!

Glad you enjoyed it and are watching my RV adventures :) I’m very lucky to be in this part of the world!

Thank you so much! I couldn’t capture the essence inside this caves at all. Most magical enchanted place i’ve been to on the RV yet i think!

ah can’t figure out who this is… but glad to hear i’m looking good :) I think sailing probably ran its course. Not opposed to doing it again someday. But for now RV Life is treating me well. There is still a little bit of stress but whenever i see a challenge up ahead I always remember how much harder it was on the sailboat and how much more I had to lose … and it makes RV life feel like a piece of cake !

@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife You go Girl!! You really look stunning. We did not meet in Cape Town. I sent you some messages when you were so traumatized by Patric's death. I felt for you. Although Mike was with you afterwards, you were still recovering from an insane period in your life and it took its toll on you. I can see you're in a MUCH better place and I am SO happy for you. Many blessings, love and light.💝💫

Thank you too… for watching it

Hey… you saying i’m a senior! I just got the normal one year pass because i’m not a senior yet :) Yep… Have already since gotten it fixed properly for that reason and many more reasons :)

oh and i also saw electric brakes connection between toad and motorhome drag and cause sparks and cause the brakes to switch on and off in car and wreak havoc. I take this stuff pretty seriously. But had to do something to hold me over until…0

@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife opps my mistake.

Hey Grande!!! Thanks for watching!!! Yep Colorado is next!!!

Yep… that’s so true. I park the RV in safe places for my motorhome to be, and take my little Honda where it probably isn’t meant to go… I put airbags on the back of the motorhome but it didn’t help that much

and no i don’t feed the wild animals. I don’t even feed the domestic animals :) But there is still a cat and a dog lazing on my motorhome floor as we speak, at a Harvest Host place!

Thanks a lot for watching my RV adventures in paradise!

thanks for watching my wonderful RV life!

ah glad you got to the west… even if just for a bit… it’s wonderful!!!

Thanks! 😃So happy to have you along for the RV ride!

ah thanks David… you always say such nice things :) Thanks for following along and being my friend

I agree entirely

Thanks Rob!! Glad you enjoyed, my friend!

thanks for watching… enjoy the keys!

@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife Ordered 1 of your shirts, might try placing your design on the back of the shirt, also. Really don't care for a design on the front of shirts.

thanks for watching! RVing in Texas was grand!

thanks so much for watching my RV adventures!

yea his videos were so good :) He filmed them over and over again to get the right lighting, angles, noise etc. He would break it and fix it 10 times just to make sure the video was good

He hasn’t started one yet. I’m not sure he plans to.

Yep… Michael and I will probably be friends forever though we aren’t a couple anymore. He is the best of men…but we on different paths now, for sure. I’m on my RV seeing my own country for a change, and he is on his boats down in Grenada living the sailing life! When you want to go sailing, it’s a bit of a disease and you have to do it… I’d never hold someone back from what they truly want to do… I know this addiction first hand!

I will pass on the message to him. Yes… he is the best of guys… just couldn’t be a better guy!

@@SailingBrickHouse-RVLife thank you so much Rebecca. Good luck on your new adventure. If your not feeling well, it’s better to be on land.

@@wandererblue Glad to hear that! It’s always possible!

ah will have to look it up unless you can tell me. But remember these aren’t your normal water intrusion type blisters as I’m sure Patrick spoke about

Sometimes you must travel 2 miles in a dinghy to get somewhere, or drag over rocks, or go against wind and waves. In a lightweight dinghy unless you put multiple people in it, it can be dangerous and blow over in wind and waves. Or if it hits something underwater can easily be holed. But yes i’m ideal conditions just like your big sailboat, lightweight can have its advantages too. But for hardcore years of service in all kinds of anchorages and landings . beat to have something that can stand up to LOTS of abuse.

yes exactly right…gluing a sail back together can be neat, effective, or both :)

That’s is a very cool solution… the flexibility is key and if it works in shoes it should work for gluing a sail back together too! If you can remember, please post an update here in a year letting us know how it goes! If you can get another year out of the sail by flying the sail back together with shoe glue then it’s a win! Of course the problem with glueing a sail is that if it ripped in one spot then it probably is rotten enough to rip in another spot. I wonder if coating the whole sail with the stuff would make it last forever haha!

thanks ashley. Yes patrick was a good boss :)

probably a smart move!

Cool. Someone else recomended that too. I’m looking in to it for sure. Going to check on this tire minder for sure

I have locked hitch pins everywhere and an alarm on the bike which the slightest movement of anything sets it off . And about 4 different locks when at anxhor

i will have to google that :) Having a bike on an RV definitely involves a bit if work :)

a few people have said that on RV youtube channels

thanks yeah … things sped up a little

so far so good :) RVing life isn’t too shabby

yea i loved that too…. thanks for watching
