A quick video of our recent launch after 9 months out of the water. Some seacocks serviced, some replaced, but all checked. So many people seem to take for granted that boats are just water tight, they’re not. Take care, and check all Seacocks when you are lifted. Give yourself good time to replace if needed, alongside a drying pile can be a rush and sometimes not enough time. And make sure all cocks are checked whikst you are held (preferably in slings at the yard).

You can sign up for Jeff’s Offshore Cruising course by going to https://www.boatersuniversity.com/ In February of 2019, Jeff spent three intense days in Jacksonville, FL to film a new Boaters University course. The result is a very comprehensive series of video clips to watch and documents to download. The online curriculum offered by Boaters University includes a series of video courses taught by well-known marine industry personalities who specialize in different fields. “Offshore Cruising – Preparing Craft and Crew” was created to help sailors and power boaters better understand how to get ready and what to expect before traveling offshore. During the filming of lessons, the film crew asked Jeff to shoot a couple of “teaser shorts” to explain some helpful tips for cruising boaters and give a taste of what to expect from the entire series. This Offshore Cruising Tip is called, “Labeling Your Boat”. As you become more familiar with your boat, you quickly realize there is a seemingly endless number of components, equipment and details to keep track of. To help you better understand and remember what everything is (and what is normal), we recommend that you arm yourself with a roll of blue tape and a permanent ink pen (Sharpie) to inventory and prepare a reminder label for crucial components. By creating simple identifiers – what it is, normal settings, what to monitor – you will become more aware of your boat and therefore become more in tune with safe operations and proper performance. Jeff’s clients like to tease him about the contagious amount of blue tape that he normally plasters all over and affectionately refer to it as “Merrill Pox”. You may be surprised how quickly you will appreciate these friendly reminders. This basic procedure to identify and monitor equipment is the foundation of “Dialing-in-your-boat.” Over time you can upgrade the blue tape labels with more professional looking label maker stickers. To learn more about preparing for safe cruising, we invite you to sign up for “Offshore Cruising – Preparing Craft and Crew” and learn why it has become one of the most popular classes offered. To log in and sign up for the course, please go to this link, https://www.boatersuniversity.com/courses/offshore-cruising/?omhide=true JMYS clients can insert the discount code JEFFSAVES at check out to receive a 20% discount.

[Quello che vedete nel video è il montaggio di alcune riprese fatte di sfuggita, perché volevamo stare nel momento e non infastidire nessuno.] Oggi, nel pomeriggio, abbiamo fatto una passeggiata nei pressi del porto. Non avevamo grosse aspettative e quello che abbiamo visto andava oltre la nostra immaginazione. È stato un pomeriggio di immersione totale nella cultura locale, con la sua musica (a volumi ingestibili), i colori, i gesti, i cibi, le abitudini. Provenendo da un ambiente molto più freddo nel clima e nei modi, inizialmente ci siamo sentiti spaesati, ma piano piano abbiamo capito che in quel fare apparentemente losco si celava una popolazione cordiale. D’altra parte in questi giorni le uniche due persone con cui abbiamo interagito sono state di una gentilezza e disponibilità rare. Disclaimer: saranno tutti così? Per rispondere basta chiedersi: noi italiani possiamo definirci tutti in un modo? Ovviamente no. Noi riportiamo la nostra esperienza diretta, lasciamo perdere le generalizzazioni :) Il pomeriggio comunque è passato in fretta e la nostra passeggiata lungo il viale dominicano ci ha ben presto riportati su un pontile conosciuto. Quello che ci portiamo a casa di oggi è: densità di persone e decibel della musica che hanno raggiunto dei livelli indescrivibilmente alti. E che il mondo è un posto incredibilmente grande e ricco di usi molto distanti gli uni dagli altri. Solo noi possiamo decidere con che occhi guardarli. A domani Camilla
