Pacific crossing update.

Panama - Marquesas Islands. Coming up to day seven at sea. Just sailed through the Galápagos Islands and heading west south west. 1100nm down only 3000 to go!

Life’s pretty simple out here being surrounded by the sea. It’s just sunrises and sunsets.

My wife comes on watch around 5pm I sleep till 2am and then we swap and I’m on watch again till 5pm. Works great for us and we enjoy doing these passages just two up.

We had around twenty small squid land on the deck the other morning early as they get scared from the boat at night and jump out of the water. Unfortunately for them but fortunately for us they sometimes land on the deck. I go around in the morning and pick them up then my wife’s cooks them up making a delicious and fresh meal out of them!! Mother Nature can be incredibly generous.

Here’s a few pics from the last few days at sea.

Many thanks 🙏

I deleted Twitter and #nostr is becoming my main way to share socially and @primal my favorite app. I think things will happen slowly but they will happen. It’s like the iPhone and internet people still don’t know why they need it.

Third day at sea and we’ve had a fantastic start to the passage. Calm first evening but some great sailing the second day with a top speeds of 14kts so far during a little surf.

Now the breeze has just gone light and we’re motoring for the evening until we get into some more breeze again tomorrow.

Should be a traditional zone tomorrow evening then into some light trade winds just to the north east of the Galapagos.

Nature has gifted us with dolphins, whales, a turtle and even a small shark swam by this morning.

Amazing what you see when you’re present out here.

Love how this life style connects you to the planet and the aquatic life that lives upon it.

Here’s this mornings sunrise

Nice ablatives are also ok just depends upon what you enjoy doing. We love to swim and enjoy the exercise of giving the hull a wipe so it makes sense for us to go with CC. With a good 6-8 coatings you should be able to get ten + years out of CC.

Sure did thanks 🙏

For an antifoul we use copper coat which is a fantastic hard water based epoxy with copper dust in it. It’s good if you enjoy swimming and giving the bottom a scrub every month or so. Its hard and very smooth so is good for performance based boats as it gives the hull better efficiency through the water and the difference between it and an ablative is noticeable. We use plastic scrappers for anything hard and black foam sanding pads to give it a really good clean and to burnish the copper coat which helps reveal new copper to the environment and protection to the hull.

Brilliant can’t wait for this one! My wife nostr:npub13mve7tvtzrrsjlt20qwyf0lw2ey0l9xlf3h49krlv4762k6dhwcqcp4ww8 will also be into this thanks 🙏

Day 1 - of our Pacific Crossing has been spent cleaning the bottom of the hull.

If we do this we make the hull smoother and the boat far more efficient when underway and this makes travelling 4,000nm quicker and easier on the boat, you and your gear!

This is where we are anchored and we’ll spend the next day or two finishing off small jobs and waiting on a solid weather window to depart in.

Have to say it’s not a bad spot to do all the above in 🤙😊

Nice I look forward to following your adventures please keep updating when you can. Fair winds!

Awesome! great well proven design and a perfect way to start the cruising life.

I love the Med one of my favourite sailing grounds it’s got so much diversity on offer within such a small area it’s super cool and Bonifacio on the south of Corsica has to be one of the best historic natural harbours.

We’ve just spent five months refitting in Costa Rica and Panama and have just departed today for our Pacific crossing heading west with no plans apart from savouring every moment. . We sail a Chris White Hammerhead 54 fr trimaran she’s also an oldie but a goodie.

I pretty much followed this but I ordered a few parts that made it far easier off Amazon. Check this out and if you have any questions hit me up even other boating related topics I can talk all day about boats and the water! 😊🤙

Yeah of course I’ll pass on the details. By the way it’s gone down 20w not from 60w to 20w. So now it’s roughly anywhere between 30-50w movement, weather and data usage can cause fluctuations.

Over the last few days we’ve been in Panama working hard to get the final jobs done before we departed across the Pacific.

Those jobs are now done. The boats full of spares, provisions and all she needs now is a day out at the Las Perlas where we’ll clean her bottom and wait for a solid weather window, which looks to be the 11th or 12th?

I’ll update here when we can to share what it’s like crossing an ocean on a sweet 54ft trimaran.

Peace and love to all you crazy #Nostr users, freedom tech lovers and Bitcoiners.

#Nostr #Bitcoin and #Sailing all have one things in common. They’re all freedom tech!

Try LEDN??

Grab a roller ruler if you don’t have one. They’re the goods for chart work. If you don’t mind me asking what type of yacht have you bought and why?

Did someone say 420? Wanted to zap you but couldn’t after I saw this.

My wife nostr:npub13mve7tvtzrrsjlt20qwyf0lw2ey0l9xlf3h49krlv4762k6dhwcqcp4ww8 healed my gut using a whole foods diet. Recently she’s been getting into fermented foods such as kimchi, kombucha, kafir, miso and yogurt. Making it all herself it’s pretty amazing what you can do when you apply proof of work in the galley. The foods not only healing but it tastes so good! A banana with some yogurt and homemade peanut butter with a sprinkling of granola for a treat is delicious.

A little bit of our galley onboard.
