Trimite-ne un e-mail: acorntoarabella@gmail.com Dacă te-ai conectat la videoclipul de săptămâna trecută, s-ar putea să știi că motorul nostru a murit… Din fericire, motorul în sine s-a dovedit a fi complet în regulă. A existat o problemă cu pătrunderea apei în dopurile care se conectează la motor, ceea ce a provocat coroziune, dar, din fericire, a fost o soluție ușoară și ieftină. Steve și Robin fac tot ce pot pentru a se îndrepta spre sud – în ciuda vântului puternic și a unei ferestre meteorologice nefavorabile. Oh, și lipsește un tender. Așa e, Victoria dispăruse în timpul nopții și se îndreptase spre țărm. Steve se îmbracă și vâslește în apele reci pentru a o recupera. Momentul este în sfârșit potrivit pentru a continua. Steve și Robin trăiesc peste noapte doar cu ei doi. Este pentru prima dată când sunt cu adevărat singuri în ocean – nimic de lovit, nimic de care să vă faceți griji și nimic în jurul lor de kilometri întregi. Urmează câteva decizii importante care vor trebui luate și există o mulțime de oportunități de a explora noi zone pe măsură ce se discută planurile viitoare de navigație. Steve face stocuri de balize personale de localizare pentru a se asigura că siguranța rămâne o prioritate de top pentru echipaj. Și Robin și Steve se bucură de o masă delicioasă când își sărbătoresc prima Ziua Recunoștinței pe barcă. ––––––––- Înscrieți-vă pentru buletinul nostru informativ prin e-mail: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella a început ca o barcă de lemn proiect de construcție în Granby, Massachusetts. Steve și-a început călătoria ca un constructor amator de bărci din lemn, creând o barcă cu pânze din lemn de 38 de picioare în curtea sa: Ingrid a designerului William Atkin cu o platformă Stormy Petrel. Aceste videoclipuri urmăresc călătoria de la tăierea copacilor, la măcinarea cherestea, la ridicarea, la turnarea chilei de plumb și acum navigarea cu barca – împărtășind detalii despre prelucrarea lemnului, tâmplărie, fierărie metal, construirea de scule și întreținerea uneltelor pe care le comandă bărcile tradiționale din lemn. Acest proiect de bricolaj final continuă dincolo de magazinul de bărci, în timp ce Steve și echipajul călătoresc și învață să navigheze la bordul bărcii din lemn realizată manual pe care au construit-o. Glumesc cu toate astea, acest canal este despre o Laika siberiană pe nume Akiva. ––––––––– Dacă sunteți interesat să susțineți/ajuta, iată câteva modalități: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/ cum să-ajuți Acorn la lista de dorințe a Arabellei: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat acceptă A2A!

I’ve done the sound , Chesepeake and Delaware several times. Stop in at Annapolis we are a cool town moorings
When we got to this part of the video, I literally said, "Aw sh!t!" out loud, and rolled my head with my eyes. Fortunately, there was a happy ending.

Get your self some Deutsch connectors we use them in the concrete mixer and they are weather proof the mixers get washed with acid daily and have no problems
All weather plugs and dielectric grease or some marine grade stuff.
It surprises me how wiring appears to be typically run on yachts. I worked offshore for many years and in my job every cable connection we made was in an explosion proof junction box with water tight glands. Any corroded connection would potentially result in very expensive down time.
On a yacht an electrical connection failure on the engine could be much worse so I wonder why cabling is not done in a similar way. Plastic Ex rated junction boxes and cable glands are not expensive.
Will you sail any of this at all. Some time your going to have to learn how to sail rougher water. And heavier winds.
Tip: if you depend on your dinghy, always have a second line as a backup. Think of it as tying up your boat to a dock – never just one line. It would be interesting to know how the substantial eyebolt pulled from Arabella.
Annapolis is loaded with nautical lore. Visit the Naval Academy museum. It is terrific!
POOR poor knowledge. You guys need five years out on the water. You will love PR , WE sure did, learned to secure everything, lock all, wear a belt and suspenders. Also use the KISS principle. GOOD luck newbies, FAIR WINDS.
Hook up with Luke McFadden in the Chesapeake
Got blue threadlock for those coupling bolts?
Robin is Xtra-Xtra.
lived here on both sides of the chesapeake and its just turned into a sewage washout over the last 20 years
hauling in north carolina is cheaper than in the chesapeake
When you get to Savannah, contact the Isetta Inn. It's my place and I'll get you some free rooms.
I'm surprised weather pack style connectors not used for you engine controls. You could purchase the weather pack connectors and assemble yourself.
Man Robin, your plates are always so delicious looking. They could be on the cover of a food magazine! Safe travels.
Beard trim mid video. 😀
Has Akiva learned to relieve himself on deck yet? I remember that was something you talked about a long time ago. Happy sailing!
For Delaware Bay don't go when you have wind against the tide. If its blowing hard NW don't go North on the flood. From Cape May wait for a flood and llight winds or southerly's. Stay out of the ship channel, there is plenty of water for your draft outside the channel.
Same thing for the lower Chesapeake bay. Wind against the tide in the lower bay produces a really steep chop. Not uncommon to have an 8-10' sea in the lower bay during the winter.
Good to see you all are having fun and feeling energized. Glad Victoria survived her little solo jaunt into shore – she's a stout wee battler for sure.
Definitely recommend going the Chesapeake route. Rock Hall, Oxford, Solomons and Reedville would be nice stops on the way. There are not any real spots to tuck in south of Chincoteague on the offshore route. If you stay in close offshore you should avoid the Gulf stream effects
I have the same issue with the connector on my inboard diesel. I was planning on doing exactly what you did and just splice them all with a fat heat shrink over it all. You're in such a cool spot. Freezing but so memorable I imagine.
7:45. Yeah, us too. That's your survival instinct talking. That was sketchy, alright. Whew.
May I suggest, if you haven't already, getting the "seapeople" app. there is a growing network of boaters who could stear you in the right direction as far as where to sail or drop anchor. good luck on your trip.
So cool, all the things you get to see and do with the boat you made.
Good morning from Tasmania Australia
When we were sailing (half way) around the world the biggest mistakes we made were when trying to sail to a timetable. I highly recommend not looking at weather further than your next port and only making the decision to leave when you get there and have had a chance to rest! On the other hand, if the weather is good, why stop! Keep on sailing if you dont have other reasons to.
In conditions where I need to motor directly into the wind, I put out a tiny amount of head sail such as your stay sail and sheet it tight as close to centerline as I can. I then fall off just until the foresail fills. This usually is with the true wind un the range of 5º to 10º off the bow. This has the effect of giving a lot more power and also applying a foreword force on the top of the mast through the forestay. This pulling force on the top of the mast ends up preventing the bow from rising up and over the wave. The first time I did this; I was motoring into 35-knots with steep square waves in the range of 3' at 3-seconds. The boat was slamming off the tops of the waves and it felt like the mast was going to come loose. The max speed I could get under these conditions was 1.7-kts. After rolling out about 6' of jib and sheeting it tight, I was cutting through the waves instead of rising up over them and was making over 7-kts.
🙏😎
that was a really good episode!
Weather windows and doing your homework for going on a journey is a must. The more you do it the easier it gets and the
better you get at it. What you miss will always show it self. Good luck, you two will do alright. Take no prisoners.
There's another YT channel that has videos going up & down the east coast and to Puerto Rico – SV Paquita. I'm pretty sure they have a video of passage through the Great Dismal Swamp too. It's not dismal.
Oh… you can go inshore along a good bit of New Jersey too. The barrier islands and canals start at the Manasquan River at Point Pleasant. Only about 1/4th is offshore only.
Electrical problems with close proximity to saltwater seems unavoidable. Please add a magnetic compass and sextant to your kit.
As a long time offshore sailor I concur; an EPIRB is undoubtedly an essential. Trying to find a crewman in the water at night without one……….
Worthdeserve it
Dang! A plus tool using hunter gatherer: lost Victoria, paddled over to get her back. That’s my Rocky Point, north end of Long Island sound. I realized I could drown and be lost by myself with kelp around my leg alone at age 5, no one on the beach…
Hi. I am not sure how many pins these plugs can have but if you need good water proof plugs try these "Deutsch DT series Waterproof Wire Connector Automotive Sealed Plug" They are used on loads of cars.
I have an AIS SART similar to yours. I accidentally stepped off the dock into the water and the device instantly set off the chart plotter and the DSC VHF radio alarms. You would not sleep through it. Make it to go off automatically in case you bump your head when going over the side.
