1. Aye! Remember, for making the mouth piece perfect you can use beeswax, just as on a didgeridoo. Easy to form and smooth for your lips. The diameter of the hole is formed to suit you best ☝🏽 By this your conch becomes personal and perfected for your way of playing.

2. What's going on with the camera?

3. Groovy

4. If that was 3 strand rope you could do a crown splice instead of whipping the rope. But whipping is a good skill to know and will server you well. I also don't think that 3 strand rope would work for the rigging. Keep the good stuff coming.

5. Thanks for sharing! ⚓️💙

6. You’re the real deal Amy.

7. to get the SNAIL out of the SHELL, do this:
   1.Attached a HOOK on a line to the FOOT of the conch.
   2. Attach the LINE to the BOOM.
   The weight of the shell will force the FOOT to eventually give way.
   No broken conch shell.

8. I have the same autopilot. I think you will find there is a belt tensionser (a knob) built into the wheel. You tension it sufficiently that the belt does not slip when engaged but the wheel rotates freely when disengaged. When the belt gets worn or warm, you might need to adjust it again. I also carry a spare motor and a spare belt. In my experience, the motor is more likely to fail than the belt itself. Good luck.

9. Great job in all aspects my friend!!
   Specially liked your horn and the success smile , after it works !!

10. Another great video! Keep 'em coming

11. LOL, “ If I was in a hurry I’d buy a powerboat”. Another awesome video Amy!

12. Boss lady ❤ They say that sailing skills is 99% of fixing your boat

13. @15:52 girl you need some cockpit cushions. that made my hips hurt .

14. Amy, its your fellow Kansan retired Squid here. Another great video; it's thrilling to see somebody who works dilligently achieve their dreams and goals. Great job, Bravo Zulu ! I've read somewhere that if you look at the horizon around sunset with binoculars, that for some reason, the binoculars help to see that green flash. That's what Jack Sparrow says ! Ha As always, take care, be careful and happy sailing. As a retired Squid, I am truly envious……..

15. Looks like you are getting more comfortable with the sails. Keep it up!

16. What a recousfull, determined and inspiring Lady you are Amy, huge respect. Br. Esko

17. That horn was the coolest thing I've seen in a while . You're doing great , keep it up !!.👍

18. Great video!
    No make up drama, just pure life as it happens.
    This is the kind of sailing video I really appreciate ❤
    Thanks for sharing your experience.

19. Getting better every week. So proud of you mama❤miss you mucho

20. When I retire I’ll be living on SS.only Hopefully be able to live aboard at a marina. Boats need constant repairs. I’m a beach freak.and being single and a minimalist if I can’t afford a boat. next option would be a long term camp ground . The 31’ westerly I had looked empty mainly all I had was about 10 days worth of clothes after being married twice and was taking for everything I’ve worked for two times . I just don’t want anything anymore. 57 and I have a van scooter bicycle and a metal detector living in a basement and about 10 days of worn out work clothes 😂. I’m fine and blessed to be healthy. I buy a lottery ticket once a month 🤞🏻🙏🏻. What I get for being nice guy. When I move to the Nc Coast this summer find me a Southern woman. Didn’t mean to go into detail Amy. Looking forward to your next video.

21. Great video. We are in Salvador, Brazil, sailed from Mindelo, Cape Verde, being a good stop. You are going to regret not crossing the equator, respectfully suggesting an early January departure from Mindelo, making it to Salvador in time for Carnival in February.

22. Second hand advice, from one of Lin and Larry Pardey's books originally, is don't put the sail covers on until the anchor is set or tied to a dock. In your case don't zip the stack pack. If the fuel filter or tank strainer sucks up a wad of algae from the fuel tank stirred up under way, then you might need the sails when you don't expect to. Larry was citing some observation about sailors ending up aground or on the coral or rocks when the engine died and too much time lost getting the sails out of sail covers and sail ties off and sail up. With the furler you at least have a headsail but often you need some headsail and some mainsail to maneuver.

23. My auto pilot just died today😢

24. Nooooooo you missed the grotto….another great video⛵⛵
