New Youtube Video, Part 2 of our sailboat's visit: the interior

-

 


The new video is out. 
Presenting the interior of our boat. 
As usual it was hectic to film. Because it is always in such a mess. 

I did shoot some rushes to later find out it wasnt good quality. 
But impossible to shoot it back because there is always someone on the boat, or it is too messy. 
So I still used those rushes. 

Surprisingly, it did better than the exterior video. 
So I'm happy. Unlike the Macoui video, that I love, but didnt even reach the 500 views at the time I'm writing this. 

Anyway, go check out the interior video here. 
It's captioned in english. 



If you want to watch Part 1 about the Interior, which I took more time to edit!!

Check it here below




Please go check out the Macoui tradition! It's so interesting and few people know about it!
This one is the video I liked doing the most...

Navigation #2: Cap D'Agde to Sète

-

  We lost all the data from this navigation!! We left Cap d'Agde this morning at 9:45. It was supposed to be 12 nautical miles from Cap d'Agde to Sète, a trip of about 3 hours and 15 minutes. In the end, it took us 5 hours and 30 minutes—probably closer to 30 nautical miles because we were tacking the whole way. I think we averaged around 4 knots, peaking at 7 knots when Nico was at the helm. Preparation I prepared myself better this time. I put on more clothes, wore my seasickness bands, ate a proper breakfast, and layered up even more. But I was still cold! I placed a bucket in the cockpit in case I needed to vomit—I don’t want to clean up a mess on the deck at the end of every trip. In the bucket, I put a bottle of water and two apples, which I ate as soon as I felt nauseous. The water was there in case I threw up again. How did it go? The weather was cloudy, but the sea was very calm, so nothing fell over in the saloon. I didn’t get too sick this time—no vomiting!...

Our very first solo sail!

-
Image
After coming back from our wonderful weekend in Leucate, the weather was so nice that we decided to sail the boat. It was our very first solo sail, just the two of us. We took the boat out without any issues. Nico mastered maneuvering out of our marina slip. We successfully avoided the sandbank at the harbor entrance. This time, we went all manual because Nico wanted to test the sails. He’s been trying to fix the mainsail and made some adjustments to the halyard, but the bearings still need to be replaced. I was steering while he worked to hoist the sails. We started with the genoa, and everything went smoothly. I’m learning to luff and bear away for the first time. I still struggle to feel or determine where the wind is coming from. It’s tricky to luff and then hold a steady course to maintain speed. Nico shouts directions using everyday words instead of proper nautical terms, which is frustrating since I’ve started reading maritime guides to learn the right vocabulary.   Next, we...

Boat Driving Class on the Seine river

-
Image
We're approaching things a bit backwards, as we took our boat driving course before even passing the theory exam! And we did this practical course the very next day after our theory class... It’s quite unconventional. The usual process is to first attend the theory class, then take and the theory exam. Once you pass, you proceed to the driving practical class. After completing and passing the driving course, the instructor automatically submits your documents to the administration to process your final boat driving license. The reason for our approach was simply that there was only one available slot at that time.  We booked last minute, so we couldn’t be picky with the dates. Since we’re on a sabbatical, timing isn’t a concern for us. So, here we are on a chilly Friday morning in December 2024, standing on the banks of the Seine River, ready to learn how to pilot a boat. Naturally, we arrived somewhat unprepared. Any tips? Bring your candidate book for the instructor to fill ...
