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.

Make your boating environment as safe as possible! Get a copy of our Boat Safety Checklist guide here: https://sailingbritican.com/product/boat-safety-checklists/ A split-second lapse in attention, a rogue wave, or an unexpected slip can lead to a terrifying situation for any boater: a person overboard. 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.
