How A Conestoga Trailer Works, Loading A Conestoga and Our Conestoga Trailer. About The Video: In This Video We Show YOU how Our Conestoga Trailer works, How we load it, and how we love our 53 Conestoga. Conestoga Trailers are Inspired by the old covered wagons of the 1690s, providing the best of two worlds. They have a moveable tarp system that maximizes space for all kinds of loads. The demand for specialized trailers is huge. About Us: We are a Travel Vlogging Couple Exploring the Less Traveled Places in the USA From the Seat of our Big Rig! Welcome to Me and The Kiwi: This is the story of how two midlifers met on a three-hour flight from Nashville to Denver, became smitten with each other, fell ridiculously in love, and two months later, threw caution to the wind and went all in. I arrived in Phoenix, Arizona with nothing but a ‘bag of rocks‘--(aka crystals), joined my Sweet Kiwi Man–(aka New Zealander), and began truck driving cross country. On this channel, we explore Top 10 lists on everything about Life on the Open Road and wanderlust in the USA; weird places, awesome roadside attractions, great hikes, unexpected gems, dive bars, what it's like living in 156" space, and more!

People ask us all the time — how do you fly a spinnaker on a Balance catamaran? In this video, Phil from Zoom Sails (who designed every sail for SV GoTFO) walks us through step-by-step: ⚓ Rigging with color-coded sheets & guys (Port sheet = red, Starboard sheet = green, Guys = black) ⚓ Hoist sequence — halyard + sock deployment ⚓ Trimming — sheets side-to-side, guys control foot height ⚓ Flying angles — best between the 120s°, can fly as high as 90° relative ⚓ The douse — comms, shackle release, sock down, halyard down We’ve flown “Big Purple” before, but this lesson was about balance and confidence. Even though Dennis wasn’t aboard, Phil was in Greece as we passed south — and I had to step in. My Love Bug 💜🐞 reflection? Sailing teaches us to own our triggers, protect each other when we’re flooded, and always return to the calm at the helm. 📧 Want our wind-angle PDF?

One of our favorite features is the excellent ventilation since we mostly live as "hookers" (aka at anchor) where the boat automatically turns into the wind so we stay cool and we don't need to battle mold. We also have starlink for easy off-grid life. Our 2400 watt solar panel array also means we rarely need to run an engine to charge our batteries. ABOUT US: We saved for a our future boat, sold everything that we owned, and shipped the rest in a container to Cape Town, South Africa. We then flew there and explored South Africa by way of a safari and touring Cape Town before moving aboard our boat. We then sailed to Saint Helena, Ascension Island, Fernando de Naronha (Brazil), Martinique, Sint Maarten (Dutch and French side), the US Virgin Islands (Saint Croix, Saint John, and Saint Thomas), the British Virgin Islands (Anegada, Norman Island, Jost van Dyke, and Anegada), The Bahamas (Inagua, Crooked Island, Long Island, George Town, Staniel Cay, the Exumas, and Eleuthera). We then sailed back to the United States, making landfall in Cape Canaveral, Florida. From there our destinations are endless! Both Dennis and Ann grew up military brats with Army fathers. Dennis (the Colonel) served 30 years in the US Army and his retirement pension helped us retire in our 50s. Ann (the ship's Captain) wrote Test Automation in Python and Java. Dennis and Ann met on Match.com where Ann had in her profile "Do you want to sail the world with me?" Ann easily brought Dennis into sailing, and he loved the GTFOplan of retiring early and sailing the world. After many years of saving, living on one income but earning two, and cutting back on everything possible, they saved enough to buy a Balance 482. Follow them as they get real about boat life and all the hassles of buying a new boat because we all know N.E.W. means Not Everything Works.
