Ever wondered what’s hidden beneath the floorboards of a sailboat? 🤔 In this episode, we’re stepping just ahead of the saloon into the guest area of Vela. Beneath your feet lies a network of essential systems that keep life on board running smoothly: 🔹 Thru-hulls: - One for discharging the holding tank. - A water intake for the toilet and our new washdown pump. 🔹 Shower drain pump: - Pumps out the water from your onboard shower, keeping things dry. 🚿 🔹 Depth and speed transducers: - Telling us how fast we’re going and how deep the waters are. 🌊 🔹 Forward-looking sonar: - A lifesaver for spotting shallow waters ahead, helping us navigate safely into hidden coves and anchorages. 🛟 It’s amazing how many essential systems are tucked away down here. Had you imagined that so many of the things we use daily are hidden beneath the floorboards? 🌍 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #lifeatsea

I got up at sunrise because I heard the dolphins in less than 2 foot of water near Galactica. I sat on deck and captured some video while sipping hot coffee! Beautiful with 11 other Macgregors either anchored or on the beach!

I'm helping a lovely couple sail their boat from Baltimore to Ft Lauderdale. It's their first long passage, and they asked me to mentor them along the way. There's nothing more comforting than having someone around to tell you that the seas are big, but they're normal or know how to quickly troubleshoot when something goes wrong. If you're looking for help on your first long passage or delivering a new boat to your home port, get in touch: https://sailingbritican.com/sailboat-delivery-assistance/ #learntosail #sailboatdelivery #boatdelivery #captainforhire #sailingadventure #sailingexperience
