Fixing the Seized Roller Furler

Robbery and a Bat Cave

St Vincent is an island in the Caribbean that most cruisers avoid. But we couldn’t. Not with the scenery, sites, and human interest there. So we went. With caution. With a buddy boat.

Dangerous and Beautiful St Vincent and the Grenadines Video #81

Bat caves with fantastic snorkeling were an extreme high for us all. But a boarding at night put a real sour note on everything. This sailing video shows how a single anchorage can represent both the lows and highs of the sailing life.

Watch when you have time..it’s a long one at more than a half hour…but there is some beautiful footage which we hope you will enjoy…and the story at the end is truly harrowing. Be careful out there sailors!

This is the story of what I did to prepare for such a task.

Well, I am finally back to writing articles after nearly 2 years of not…this time for Ocean Navigator magazine. Michael Hayward did much of the photography for it. You can view the article below on page 24
