September 2017 – SLOW BOAT SAILING

Sailing Offshore in Hurricane Irma

In this video we see what happens to two sailboats that tried to run away from the category 5 hurricane Irma which at one point had maximum sustained winds of 185 miles per hour. You will see the rescues of the two sailboat crews. You will see the interviews of the C-130 plane that spotted both stricken yachts.

Capt. Linus Wilson, OUPV Near Coastal talks to Gary E. Brown the editor of All at Sea magazine which covers boating in the Caribbean and beyond as part of a Slow Boat Sailing Podcast interview. Mr. Brown outlines why it is foolhardy to try to evade a hurricane with a sailboat at sea. He draws on his decades of experience and his and his friends experience at sea during the “wrong way” hurricane Lenny. Key points are that engines often fail because of clogged filters in high seas, there is not enough wind to sail ahead of a storm, and sailboats move slower than tropical storms.

Most of the footage is public domain footage from the USCG. Thanks to the heroes in the USCG that saved six sailors and a dog and filmed the rescues here!

Sunk by Hurricane Maria and Irma, Sailing Paradise Lost

The sailing paradises of the Virgin Islands, Florida Keys, and Puerto Rico have been ravaged by the category 5 hurricanes Maria and Irma. We survey their path of destruction and weigh the costs of these monster hurricanes. The Slow Boat Sailing podcast host Linus Wilson tells how Sailing Doodle’s boat Ruff Seas was dismasted in San Juan Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria and how Mark J. Reinhardt lost his moored boat in Key West to Hurricane Irma.

Preparing Your Boat for Hurricane Irma

This video tells boat owners what they should do to prepare for a hurricane like Irma. Hurricane Irma was a dangerous category 5 storm with maximum sustained winds over 180 miles per hour. It devastated the charter fleet in the BVI and property and boats in St. Martin and many other Caribbean Islands. The most important thing is for boaters is to focus on saving lives not property.

How to Sail Around the World on a Budget by Sailing La Vagabonde

Sailing La Vagabonde gives their advice on cruising on a budget. This video no doubt will break the internet. They offer no tips on how to get $9,000 per video in Patreon pledges. LOL.

Sailing WX Offshore with Satellite Phones: Iridium Go! & Delorme, Slow Boat Sailing S2E2

Captain Linus learns how to get offshore weather forecasts with the Iridium Go! and Delorme InReach satellite phones in their first week crossing the Pacific Ocean from La Liberad, Ecuador to Hiva Oa, Marquesas, French Polynesia. No satellite phone or weather app maker sponsored this video. Linus tells you what he learned using some of the most popular sat phone weather apps and devices. He tells you what apps work and what ones do not.

The best apps are the two free ones for the Iridium Go! The Iridium Go and Iridium Mail and Web apps are all you need to get all the weather forecasts you need. With the ability to send a text-only e-mail, you can request all the weather forecasts you want with the query@saildocs.com command. By sending an blank e-mail to info@saildocs.com you can get the codes for all the weather products you need such as wind or current GRIB files. You also need a GRIB file reader such as iGRIB or Pocket GRIB. The expensive apps such as Weather 4D, Predict Wind, and Ocens OneMail did not work at all or had major flaws. With satellite phones you cannot surf the web. You can only send and receive basic e-mails and very low resolution photos. A file bigger than 50kb will take forever to download or upload.

The Slow Boat Sails south of the Galapagos Islands in days 3 to 6 of the 3,500 nautical mile passage. They struggle against headwinds at first and light winds after that. The boat sails close hauled initially but moves to a beam reach and broad reach by the end of the video. Winds are between 5-12 knots on this part of the passage. Ben starts standing watch on his own. Sahia celebrates her birthday on the boat.

Linus Wilson talks about his book How to Sail Around the World Part-Time in a seminar at the Southwestern International Boat Show in League City, Texas in April 2017. This show too place at the South Shore Marina off of Clear Lake near the Kemah Boardwalk area. Linus, Janna, and Sophie visited the boardwalk as well as participated in the seminar.

How to Sail Around the World Part-Time is a former Amazon sailing bestseller. It’s description says:

“Do you dream of sailing around the world in a sailboat?
Do you have a business or career you don’t want to sacrifice for that dream?
Do you have kids in school?
You don’t need to quit your job, sell your house, and take the kids out of school to complete a circumnavigation of the globe in a sailboat. You don’t have to wait until you are retired to sail for the South Pacific. This book tells you how you can do it without uprooting your life by taking as little as two months per year off to sail the trade winds.
Circumnavigating the globe in a sailboat is on par with scaling Mount Everest in terms of its rarity. Many potential circumnavigators are hobbled by misconceptions about the journey that mountaineers lack when climbing to the top of the world.
It is said, “I want to circumnavigate to see the world.” Nevertheless, successful trade wind circumnavigators don’t see the world. Instead, they travel on a narrow ribbon around it stopping mostly at a narrow range of countries that are downwind. Lack of focus causes many more failed circumnavigations than storms at sea.
The conventional wisdom is that you need to quit your job, sell your house, and live on the boat year-round. The reality is that even retirees circumnavigating full-time keep their boat in port half of the year because of the demands of cyclone season. There is no good way to elude the November to April cyclone season that dominates 60 percent of the trade-wind circumnavigation route.
The mad rush from the eastern Caribbean to the “safe” ports in New Zealand and Australia in a single calendar year is misguided. It sets cruisers up for hard, upwind ocean passages in future years and saps the resolve of their crews. A better solution is to haul out their boats in the South Pacific and fly back to their homes in the developed world during the cyclone season.
It makes more sense to keep one’s job and home and take annual two-to-six month leaves of absences to move the boat forward during the cruising season. Learn about the trade-wind route around the world with stops in Panama, the Galapagos, the Marquesas, Tahiti, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Australia, Mauritius, Chagos, Madagascar, South Africa, St. Helena, Brazil, and the eastern Caribbean. Learn why the Pirate attacks in the Gulf of Aden have NOT made circumnavigating the globe harder.
This is the second book by the bestselling author of Slow Boat to the Bahamas, Linus Wilson. Dr. Wilson got his doctorate in financial economics at Oxford University. He sails an Island Packet 31’ with his wife, daughter, and four pound poodle. He has been published in Cruising Outpost and Good Old Boat magazines.
