#shorts Off grid living requires attention to detail. If a towing line breaks it could mean losing a very valuable piece of equipment for those living aboard a boat. Knowing a few basic knots turned a potential headache into a minor fix. Also, setting up a redundant system saved me from having to buy a new dinghy! My advice is ALWAYS have backup lines if you tow your dinghy. Also, I should have put in abrasion guards of some sort but I didn’t! Off grid living requires planning ahead. This was a clear example of just how important that is.

Ever wanted a tender that’s just as fun as a sports toy and stylish enough to match your superyacht? Rate this watercraft from 1-5 stars and comment below! Vanquish Yachts VQ16 © Vanquish Yachts Length: 5.07 m (16.6 ft) Beam: 1.66 m (5.44 ft) Draft: 0.20 m (0.66 ft) Max Power: standard 200 hp Yamaha jet engine; Veloce version pushes beyond 50 knots Passengers: Driver + 5 guests Fuel Capacity: ~60-70 L Price: upon request The VQ16 blurs the line between tender, day-boat, and high-thrill ride. Its jet propulsion is built flat into the hull so it fits neatly into tender garages, yet it delivers sharp acceleration and top speed of around 40 knots in base mode—or over 50 in the Veloce upgrade. The seating layout fits up to five plus driver, with padded benches in the rear and comfortable bow and helm placements. Minimal draft and responsive maneuvering make it ideal for toy towing, beach drop-offs, or zipping across calm bays. #VanquishYachts #VQ16 #TenderFun #HarbourMasters

Bill and Katherine weathered Tropical Storm Chantal on SV Mi Salida in the Bahamas. Charleston Marina refused entry, but they stayed aboard, relying on ample anchor chain. Their resilience shines through. #SaltyAbandon #Bahamas #SaltyPodcast #Sailing #islandpacket
