Welcome to Navel Gazing at Camp David Shorts. Embark with us on a journey to master the art of boating during incoming tides as we back out of a slip and leave the marina with finesse. Understanding Tides and Currents Before we push off, let’s talk tides! Did you know that tides are the longest waves on Earth, traveling across entire ocean basins? Understanding their patterns is key to a smooth departure. Strategic Slip Exit Strategize your slip exit. With the tide pushing against you, it’s like playing a game of chess with the sea. Position your boat at a 45-degree angle and let the tide work for you, not against you. The Art of Throttle Control Gentle on the throttle, captain! In an incoming tide, less is more. A soft touch can be the difference between a graceful exit and a marina mishap. Anchor Wisdom from Experts Bob Sweet’s "Boat Handling and Docking" dives into the skills needed for precise boat control, while Alain Poiraud’s "The Complete Anchoring Handbook" teaches us the art of staying put when you choose to. Navigating Crowded Marinas Exiting during high traffic? Timing is as crucial as tide knowledge. Watch the flow, find your moment, and glide out with confidence. Unexpected Perspective: The Tide as Your Dance Partner Think of the tide as your dance partner in the water waltz. It leads, you follow, and together you perform the marina exit dance. It’s not just science, it’s art!

The number of dolphin out here in the Santa Barbara channel is incredible! We even saw a hump back whale as well! Beautiful place to go for a sail!

Wir sind Luisa und Matthias und seit 4 Jahren mit unser Sadler 34 "Wanderling" auf Weltreise. 2020 sind wir in Deutschland aufgebrochen, haben die Europäische Atlantikküste, die Azoren, Madeira und die Kanaren besegelt. Im Winter 2022 haben wir dann den Sprung über den Atlantik gewagt, um in den darauffolgenden Jahren ausgiebig die kleinen Antillen der östlichen Karibik zu erkunden. Aktuell zieht es uns wieder nach Norden, über die Bahamas in die USA. Wer weiß, was als nächstes passiert? "Sailors plans are written in sand", und so wollen wir uns treiben lassen und Dich gern auf diese Reise mitnehmen. Wir würden uns riesig über Dein Abo freuen! Wenn Du unsere Videos magst und uns unterstützen möchtest, dann schau doch gern mal auf unserer Patreon Seite vorbei: https://www.patreon.com/eternalsailing Patreons stehen alle Videos als Early Release früher zur Verfügung und wer mag, kann Mitglied in unserer WhatsApp-Broadcast Gruppe werden :) Und hier zu unseren Instagram Profilen: https://www.instagram.com/luisa_sailing/ https://www.instagram.com/eternal_sailing_matthi/ Liebe Grüße von Bord, Matthi & Luisa :)

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
