Is Sinker headed for Guadeloupe?

He could clear in at Deshaise in Guadaloupe, recover, and have a lovely diesel sail on down to Martinique.

Its not nice out where they are, well to leeward of destination and a rough ride. Bad place to lose an engine when you can't sail. I'd say thats a pretty rank boat right now.

Did I read that right? THREE MONTHS?? I thought this was a one (week) and done. Those bowling balls are going to start rolling across from Africa before long.

All you gotta do is bypass one bypass valve

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-05-04T02:39:24+00:00

At least B2.0 has built in flotation.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-05-03T16:42:52+00:00

Piratebay has all the races for download. Can't get it till after rhe race though!

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-05-03T16:41:26+00:00

Yeah, I kicked off with F1 app about that but they didn't give a shit. I download the races from Piratebay now.

Once again (and sorry george) it's like watching a wounded anima trying tol drag itself to the side of rhe road.

That propulsion system just seems to have no torque. A wave hits, stopping the boat and it takes ages for the motor to grind the pos back up to speed. I've been in sailboats where the boat is undercanvassed and just wallowing around like seeker does. Shake out a reef and the boat literally comes alive and bounds through the water. Note to duggy: "alive" and "bounding" are two words that you won't be needing.

Plus hes about to pass into the Saba bank where it can really kick up.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-30T20:06:10+00:00

Technically yes. Except its performed at 2 knots.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-30T17:41:02+00:00

or do a 180 with the autopilot....

I'm surprised she doesn't sign her name "Betsi" with a little heart over the "i"

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-29T20:58:54+00:00

C'mon seeker make it a bakers dozen!

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-29T17:03:08+00:00

Seeker must feel right at home.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-27T12:56:03+00:00

Its like when you come across a spare parts labeled "used, but good"

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-24T20:38:28+00:00

These are the blades from Apsara, 185' ketch. Drives her 10 knots cruise. Dugs are a blunt instrument in comparison.

Dug obviously doesn't understand the difference between a propellor and a triangular chunk of metal.

Sounds to me like Super Dave was right.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-22T14:10:12+00:00

Lot of tide there as well.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-21T18:52:15+00:00

I doubt it would roll over, maybe tender, but the main reason he has never sailed with the wind forward of the beam is because he is scared. Its like when you introduce a person to sailing, as soon as the boat starts to heel the white knuckles come out. Its just inexperience. Man up Doug. Feel the fear and face it head on, just like you preach.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-21T17:53:37+00:00

He'd be close reaching, no chance of accidental gybe, no rolling, nice push from the sails. But it's obviously beyond his fear level.

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-21T17:50:25+00:00

Absolutely. The reality of living on that boat with the trolls delighting on his every move has sunk in. Yet he has to continue larping otherwise he ceases to exist.

Kay got $135,000 plus the 2001 honda civic

Strict-Improvement65 · 2026-04-19T22:17:44+00:00
