      Maybe he'll buy it in US, he's seeking American citizenship that'll require him to meet some residency requirements even though he's married to a American citizen.
      It'll be a nice way of keeping channel going while staying in US. Coastal cruising has its charms but people get bored with it quickly, and he is a professional CZcamsr now so audiance retention matters.

      Athena is a beautiful boat with lots of upgrades and very spiffy. I see it as Another rung on the ladder full of learning and developing your skills. This is just the beginning of your cruise life and discovering what you want in the future and what will be the next rung on the ladder. Look forward to following your adventures going forward.

    Three guys food list for crossing the Atlantic:
    1. Sixteen frozen pizzas
    2. Twelve cases of beer
    3. Eight packs of BBQ flavored Pork Rinds
    Anything else is just details.

    Good luck on your crossing. Finished ours last week, 16 days 23 hours from Cabo Verde. We had 5 days of 5kts or less winds and finished with 4 days of 20-35kt winds. Swam with two Minke whales at our halfway point, had the auto pilot fail (no windvane) and the watermaker failed as well. Was a great trip can't think of anything negative, the failures were just challenges to adapt and overcome.

    Hi there Mr Spiffy. Hay just want to say thanks. I live in a big 8.5-meter caravan and thanks to watching your videos I have brought Victron gear for it and fitting it out myself. I'm very impressed so far

  • @aserta
    @aserta Před rokem +3

    For that door, i suggest you make the trim adjustable. Whenever you make the rigging proper, you'll change the frame, there's nothing you can do about that short of making a reinforcement beam or some pillars either side. But with adjustable trim, you won't be having that much issue to keep the door gap proper. This was also pretty common back in the day when houses were made completely out of wood and the structure would change slightly with moisture or earth movement.
    Good luck with the crossing! Fair wind in your sails.

    We use just one block & tackle unit connected to the end of the boom with a snap shackle at the top and bottom and simply unsnap it from one side or the other of the cockpit.as needed.
    It has enough purchase to use as a mainsheet alone when close-hauled and we can even tack without unsnapping it if needed. It even works sort of like a traveller and a vang all in one when used in conjunction with the primary mainsheet. We can connect to the high or low side depending on sailing conditions.
    It also works well for motorsailing for a flat riding sail as close to 5-degrees off of the wind when we pull it taught to the high side
