O domingo dia dois de maio estava lindo, vento bom de nordeste com 10 a 12 nós, na saída da rampa o motor não pegou e saí na vela, fui no través e ao tentar cambar a porca que firma a cana do leme soltou, apertei com um alicate mas o leme havia saído da posição e eu não conseguia voltar, o marinheiro foi me rebocar e no flutuante centramos o leme e apertei bem a porca. Fizemos o brinde eu e a Rosana, com os amigos Guilherme e Isabeli registrando, depois iniciamos a primeira velejada, coloquei a vela genoa pequena e a mestra, o barco é leve e com boa flutuação, ganhou velocidade rápido e no contra vento não adernou muito. Velejamos até a Vila da Glória e retornamos, foi uma alegria depois de tanto trabalho sentir o barco navegar bem.

PACIFIC HIGH is a one-of-a kind, long range cruising cutter ketch built by Stuart Boat Works, Fl. drawn by Naval Architect Allen Ericson. Ted Hood + Hood Sailing Systems designed and built the spars, standing rigging and sail handling systems. PACIFIC HIGH was referred to as “Hood’s Electric Boat”. She was designed with all sail handling leading to her handsome, protected pilot house. With those systems she has been cruising and racing from the Adriatic to the Caribbean in comfort for years, often by a crew of two or even single handed. The designers and builder studied and understood the “watershed change” yacht design was going thru in the 80’s. Powerful, broad, flat sections in the hull carried well aft, result in low heal angles, yielding 8 to 10 knot speeds from PACIFIC HIGH’s 60’ waterline.

Sailing through orca territory isn’t something we take lightly and while preparing this post for you guys, we heard another sailboat calling for help on the radio..How we stay informed and reduce the risk as much as possible: 📍We monitor:• GT Orcas App – To stay updated about interactions, sightings and risk mapping. • www.orcas.pt – MMSI verified fellow sailors for live-updates. • Telegram groups – Live updates from fellow sailors. • Orca Facebook groups - to stay updated. • We listen to channel 16 (as always) and when we here something related to a orca situation we start recording the conversation so we can go back and listen to it again ex. if we didn’t get the position, name of the vessel etc. ⚠️Our precautions:• We have chosen to only sail in daylight – Which sometimes means early mornings to do a long leg. If something were to happen, we rather want to handle it in full visibility than in the dark. • We have chosen to stay in shallow water - inside the 20m depth counter when possible, but still keeping a safe distance from breaking waves and shallow hazards. • We carry a duffel bag full of sand on deck– The most humane way to try and deter orcas, should they approach the rudder. • We maintain constant lookout – For tall dorsal fins, but also for coastal fishing gear when close to shore. • We talk through roles and action plans - so everyone onboard knows what to do in case of an emergency. 🚨Our procedure in case of an orca interaction: 1: Engine on, max speed, turn boat towards shallows and/or land. 2: One person in charge of throwing sand in the water to hopefully prevent the orcas from damaging the rudder. 3: One person in charge of flipping the swimmingladder down in the water and banging it with a hammer to make loud noises in the water to deter the orcas. 4: Other important things is to issue a Pan-Pan call on the vhf, continuous lookout and video documentation of the interaction. N.B that this is simply the way we’ve chosen to handle the situation, not a detailed A–Z guide on how you should proceed. Always make sure to research the specific area you’re sailing in. Stay safe. #orca #sailing #shortoftheday #circumnavigation
