    Frank, glad you're doing well though sorry to hear about dealings with sad humans. We're still in Deltaville but will be leaving sometime next week to begin easing back into the life following my stroke. All is well, buy the way - actually, very well. We're staying in the bay until fall. Hope we cross tracks along the way.

    Nice watching you get out there! Have you tried the dish soap/spray cleaner (like Fantastic) trick to find the dinghy's leaks, yet? Spray it on a section, rub it in w/your hand a little bit, then watch to see if any bubbles form. I might have missed it in a past video.

    I left out of VA (born n bred there. Now got the same boat "help" or lack thereof. Trying to learn all things boating. Here in Rockport TX. Trust me when I say don't come here. It's diverse-ish. But not for my raging Abolitionist c3lf. My daughter has nonverbal autism so let's just say it's difficult finding (or creating) community. Thankfully, there's folks like you on CZcams shining and teaching me boat skills. Here's to the loving ones. Grateful for you, brubbie!!❤❤❤

    I know that a "reality of boat life" is people stealing stuff right out from underneath you. Sports equipment, food, outboards, or even the whole damn dinghy. Still, the man should've _first_ asked you if you needed help! Offered to lend you a paddle. A tow would've been a solid move, too. Sorry it went down the way it did.

    • @SailingDesire
      @SailingDesire Před 10 dny

      Agreed, and I think theft is more of a factor at public docks than in private/gated communities but it's true that it could happen anywhere.

  • @sasquatch3945

    Google served this up to me because it knows I just bought a dingy for $50 that needs the transom glued back on. Yours looks in better shape than mine for sure. A shame you ran into a POS racist fuck - and while struggling with a technical problem to boot! Hope your adventures go well.

    • @SailingDesire

      It's interesting because the south is considered to be more racist, but at least when it comes to boating and being on the water I've only run into nice and helpful people down there. It's only been in VA and MD that I've encountered the unfriendly ones

    Hi, have you considered moving up to a catamaran? You may be able to pick up a bargain in the Bahamas or Florida. Those cats have so much room, and with the right rigging, so much easier to sail.

    • @SailingDesire
      @SailingDesire Před měsícem

      I've only sailed on a Hobie cat, but from what I hear catamarans are less pleasant to sail, albeit they are faster. I think my next boat will be a monohull, unless I see a good deal on a trimaran like a well built Norman Cross
