- The ICW might be beautiful and definitely has it's benefits, ultimately it takes a lot more work and time than sailing offshore along the east coast of the United States. Instead of continuing north on this inland waterway we jump offshore from Savannah and spend three days sailing to Beaufort NC. This saved us 85 miles and 6-7 days of travel time.

Looked like a lovely sail. Beaufort can be pretty crowded, but it’s a nice little town. 😎🥰😎🥰😎
It’s was wonderful!! ❤️
Man I don’t miss that timing of the tides, and unpredictable storms. When we came down the Rio Dulce, we didn’t have the map (with depths) and that was a bit stressful. Thank God for locals and their knowledge.
Oh my goodness! I can’t imagine.
Might want to consider a good store of ginger bread for your snacking during passage. More nutritious and the ginger helps settle motion sickness. And the burn of good ginger in the mouth does wonders for keeping you alert at night.
great idea! I LOVE ginger crisps!
I have binged watched all of your videos on CZcams and are now caught up. Looking forward to see the new videos now that you're back on the boat.
Thanks for following along. New videos coming soon.
Nice seeing 👀 ya'll sailing ⛵️ again.
Hope to see ya'lls sails on the Horizon someday from our lanai.
So until next time, Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii! Cheers 🍻
Definitely on our bucket list!! Thanks for following along.
That would be the part of sailing that would get to me, trying to make it to somewhere and sitting in ocean boobing with no wind.
It can get tedious when it goes on for a long time for sure
@10:00 Congrats Todd on catching the fish 👍(yes they're edible, bit like sardines)
LOL! We’ve heard them being used as bait but never eaten.
@@Spoondrifters Most probably don't bother with them because they're smallish but with small fish like sardines and anchovies you don't fillet them, just gut them and cook them whole. I guess it depends on how open minded you are too unfamiliar foods. In my wife's culture all fish are cooked with the bones in, head on etc, the fish eyes get fought over and you use chopsticks to pick the fish meat away from the bones, the meat around the head of the fish is considered the best bit and this is what most westerners throw away after filleting. I've only seen one YT channel cook the flying fish and she just fried them with an egg and a tomato for a nice simple breakfast. I guess try and see if you like them, at least you know there's less risk of ciguatera with such a small fish 👍
@@daveamies5031 Waste not, want not, in my book. Try anything once.
well done you seem to be quite good sailors now
Getting there. 😍
There are electronic anti-seasickness wrist bands- run around $85-$100 each and rechargeable battery lasts around 10hrs. Somehow a tiny electric jolt to wrist nerve interferes with the confused inner ear to brain signal that causes seasickness.
I’ll have to look into those.
Yes, I have any of my seasick prone crew wear it….only thing that I have found that really works (in most cases)
When you get the cat home on dry land, he may not ever get back on a boat.
Yes, we ended up finding her a home with one of our adult children. ❤️
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
What spinakers and Code 0 sails to you have in your inventory?
We don’t have any yet. It’s on our wish list.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen your videos. Abigale is on the boat? What am I missing.
These are the videos we hadn’t published before she passed away. Finishing out last years season.
How many watts of solar and battery do you have?
We have 900 watts of solar and 600 amp hours at 48 volts (not lithium) dedicated to the motor bank.
@@Spoondrifters ok thank you. And how did yo about your solar arch plus cost. Did you create diy your self, did your boat come with it or did you pay to have it built and installed. I just got 660 watts 2 panels, renogy 3000w inverter, need to lifrpo4 batteries and solar arch. Thanks for sharing info!
@@ProspectingMonkey we bought our arch from Fish On Sports in Florida, they ship anywhere and are great to work with. We have the Sir Admiral Uni model.
@@ProspectingMonkey here's the link to video where we were installing it czcams.com/video/DuVCPeMd4L0/video.htmlsi=1p4qaDjXELJfQlIA
Hey guys. This is Cher. I'm using my hubby s phone that why his name Lester shows up!
Just wondering, how "old" are these videos? I'm seeing Abigail in these and CZcams says it was just posted two hours ago. I hope this question isn't being disrespectful bc that's not what I intended it to be....
...I'm just really confused.❤
These are last summer right before she got sick. We’re just finishing up our story before moving forward without her.
@@Spoondrifters . Thank you for responding. We, Lester and I, ❤️love you and your family so much and have enjoyed your sailing journey.
Hope you are doing as well as you can and hope that you can gradually get back into enjoying the sailing life.
Love to you all.
@@Spoondrifters Good memories, apart from the sea sickness.
@@jonathanwetherell3609 yes they are! The best kind of home movies ever!
@@lester2730 Than you! We're doing well. Her memory is ever present and they're good ones. We're glad to be back on the boat.
