This video showcases a long sailing passage from Baltimore to Fort Lauderdale, spanning over 1,000 miles and taking 20 days. The boat owners, Mike and Sheena, hired me to mentor them on their first long passage. We had to stop, or divert plans, a few times due to weather, and there were a couple of major breakages, but overall it was a very successful sailing voyage. The video highlights the main lessons learned. If you're planning to sail down the East Coast of the US, this video will benefit you. Learn from our experiences rather than having to learn the hard way. Are you interested in having a professional captain help you learn your boat or assist on your first long passage? Get in touch.

Our trip from Baltimore to Fort Lauderdale took 20 days, with several stops along the way. Due to weather and breakages, we eventually made it to our destination. The couple who owns the boat learned many valuable lessons! If you'd like assistance on your first maiden long voyage or want some help getting to know how to handle your boat, give me a shout.

Amidst the panic and urgency of such a moment, one unassuming device can emerge as a beacon of hope – the Dan Buoy. Often overlooked until it's desperately needed, this simple yet ingenious piece of safety equipment can make the difference between a tragic ending and a successful rescue. By acting as a visual marker and a flotation aid, the Dan Buoy dramatically increases the odds of locating and retrieving someone who has fallen into the water. Whether you're a seasoned captain or a novice sailor, understanding the significance of a Dan Buoy and how to deploy it effectively is paramount. Let's delve into the details of this life-saving tool, exploring its various types, how to use it in an emergency, and visit our website to learn the key factors to consider when choosing the right one for your vessel.

Follow her on Instagram and YouTube here: - On Instagram @laurenaturee - On YouTube @Laurenature Join Simon on Catamaran Manava, a 50' Lagoon, to discover if the Sailing Lifestyle is for you. Details on Sailing Lifestyle Experiences here: https://sailingbritican.com/liveaboard-experience/ Here's what Brian, the gentleman cooking dinner in the video, had to say: "Come to Simon with questions and you’ll get answers, but the conclusions will be your own. Come if you want to learn the realities of cruising (not You Tube sailing fantasies), both the good and the difficult from someone who has lived it —mind you, not on his own, but with a wife and young child. Expect an honest assessment of what this lifestyle actually costs, both physically and economically and your ability to achieve it. This isn’t a sit-back-and-be-served by a crew luxury experience; it’s immersive. It’s for people who want to preview what the lifestyle is all about including provisioning, planning routes and executing the sailing plan —safety and feasibility being in the forefront. Simon is a true professional, as well as an excellent host and all-around great guy. I wanted to ascertain if this made sense for me and my fellow Boomer partner. In the end, we learned that life aboard a catamaran in the Caribbean makes no sense for us. I arrived with a naive vision that I was still capable of what I could do 30 years ago; it was a rude awakening to find that basic tasks proved more challenging than anticipated. Simon provided honest and valuable feedback, which we appreciated, and now we know what will work for us will be a different sailing experience, one closer to home aboard a manageable monohull, which has greater appeal. If you and your partner have any questions, as you should prior to purchasing your dream boat, Simon should be your first stop. Our week with him was the best ROI I ever got and when I buy the boat of my new, more realistic dreams, it will be because of what I learned from this trip. We also had a great time!
