    Thank you so much for sharing your amazing videos with us! Your generosity in taking us along on your journey is truly admirable. The time you spend videoing, editing and producing these shows a tremendous commitment. I discovered your channel just a few weeks ago and I must say, I've become completely hooked. I started binge-watching from the very beginning and your content never fails to bring me joy and entertainment. You guys are such a lovely couple with delightful personalities. It's inspiring to witness you both chasing and living your dream with so much enthusiasm. I also appreciate how you often include your compatible friends in your adventures, creating the perfect blend of sailing, boat life, travel vlogging, and storytelling. The way you present your videos, from the editing to the fantastic music selection, is just top-notch. You're telling an interesting story with each episode. I sense the joy you derive from making new connections on land and cherishing every moment as a precious memory. Thank you once again for sharing your incredible content. I can't wait to see what further adventures await you on your journey!

This is a long standing controversial question and one that we wanted to get right (in our heads at least) way back in 2016 when we bought our first Parasailor. We questioned, our broker and Fountaine Pajot at the time and both told us it wouldn’t be a problem. We have sailed in this setup for over 7 years without issue, cheers.

    Great video as usual! I got excited when I saw that you’re using PredictWind too. Did you use the preloaded Elba 45 polars for your PredictWind? If so, how much did you adjust them. I can’t seem to get them dialed in for our Elba, and we’re in the middle of our crossing right now. I’m trying 90% the next couple days to see if that works. I wish I could sail as fast as PredictWind thinks I can!

    • @LetsDanceSailing

      We did use the preloaded Elba 45 polars and like you we found that we weren’t usually meeting the expected speed. Might’ve had something to do with our boat being loaded to the waterline 🤣. And we weren’t keen to push hard. We adjusted ours to around 80%. Fair winds for the remainder of your crossing. Our Elba loved the Atlantic.

This is causd by microscopic orgasms and even small crabs, yes crabs which find themselves near an open warm canal..... ear canal and enter. The treatment for this is time consuming and can be very painful. The unfortunate thing is that folks usually clean hulls before they embark on a passage thus leaving no retreat for medical attention. Your eyes and nose are protected by the mask however, if you have a head of hair, they will migrate to your hair and if not thoroughly washed with lots of suds, will eventually find their way to ears, eyes, nose .
