We had an interesting final sail on Peter's Firebird in the most wind I sailed in when in Barbados - we sailed with 2 reefs. Peter's friend Eric has a foiling waveboard and he wanted to foil behind the Firebird. In the end he managed it, but there was lots of falling in at the beginning. It was hard work for Peter and I as we had to start at near zero speed, so Eric could grab the tow rope, then slowly accelerate to about 7 knots so he could get ready for lift off. Then accelerate to 10 knots very quickly, so he could lift out. And then control the speed at 10-12 rather than surge up to 15-18. But of course the wind would drop, or he'd fall in or.... but, as I say, after 2 hours he did manage to fly for maybe 30 secs. Although, if we were quick enough, we could stop and heave to after he fell in, sometimes we sailed on too far and then we had to pull in the tow rope (we discovered it was too easy to get it entangled on rudders and daggerboards), tack round and sail back. As always it was scary how quickly a head disappears from view. But interestingly we could easily see him when he was in the sun, it was when he was north of us that he became invisible (one of his sons kept a very close eye on Dad, religiously pointing to his position). Flat water helped, and lots of passing day charter cats got a bit confused by seeing a swimmer apparently a mile out to sea but happily waving!

You never know what to expect from animals or from the ocean and weather, which makes being a sailing vet anything but predictable! . . #sailor #veterinarian #boatlife #womenwhosail #shecaptain #vetlife #thesailingvet #boatvet

Trying to increase the views on your Sailboat Life Youtube Channel? I've found the perfect hack. I've been told by multiple people that the best way to promote my sailing vlog is to post lots of beautiful videos of my girlfriend frolicking on the sailboat in a bikini. Trouble is, I don't have a girlfriend, so I borrowed this one under Youtube's fair use policy. Super convenient and much cheaper than the real thing! We just have to critique her, um, technique. I think she inflated that dingy rather well. What do you think? If you'd like to watch my long-form videos, that'd be swell! @EdwardSeaton If you'd like to help me achieve my sailboat life dream, consider becoming a Patreon or helping out on Paypal! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QRY32Z64LYWF4 https://www.patreon.com/EdwardSeaton You can help for as little as 3$ per month and every little bit helps.
