Day 2 on our Atlantic Crossing. We had very relaxed conditions and were able to unpack our spinnaker again. It's really impressive, especially when there are also some dolphins around 🌊 And we were also rewarded with a bonito, which we used straight away as sushi. Delicious 😋 And it was even so relaxed that we were able to play games. Let's see what the second night brings. ⛵ If you would like to see our exact location you can check our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/patandfrankie! #sailing #atlanticcrossing #caribbean #boatlife #spinnaker #atlantic

Gives you and idea of how high the swell was! A bit scary...we all decided not to look backwards. This was taken before I knew how to hold the video camera correctly (sorry about that - I do get better as time goes on). This was our maiden voyage from Gibraltar to Malta where we became stormbound in Algeria. It's an interesting story.

En esta ocasión hemos ido al puerto de Punta Lagoa a hacer una inspección de la jarcia firme, jarcia de labor y el palo de un velero Jeanneau Sun Odissey 409. Al llegar me encuentro con un barco muy bien cuidado por sus armadores. Una limpieza perfecta. Tener el barco limpio ayuda a no tener averías. Cuanta más limpieza, menos corrosión. Tenlo claro. Lo primero que hago es poner el tensiómetro de jarcia en los obenques. Deberían tener una tensión del 15% de su carga de ruptura y están al 12%. Opto por darle un poco más de tensión. En cuanto al centrado, está perfecto. A los obenques bajos les doy una tensión del 12%. Subo al palo y me encuentro unos rayazos producidos por el grillete de la driza de la mayor. Corrosión en el soporte de la antena del radar, un trozo de cinta en la roldana de la driza de génova... Pero todo en muy buen estado. Si quieres que te inspeccione tu barco, o si quieres algún tipo de trabajo como trimar el palo, consejos para la navegación o hasta un cambio de jarcia, contacta conmigo en 607907454 o txemacapitan@gmail.com
