You can sign up for Jeff’s Offshore Cruising course by going to https://www.boatersuniversity.com/ This Offshore Cruising Tip is called, “Through hulls”. Through hulls are vital operational features that every boat owner needs to understand. Many owners take through hulls for granted and don’t give them much thought. We’d like to encourage you to remember their vital roles. We recommend that you identify the location and purpose of each through hull on your boat. As part of your check lists and routines we suggest you test regularly and make sure each through hull is working – it can be freely opened and closed. When they aren’t used, they can “freeze” or become stubborn. Through hulls that supply raw water to strainers seem to get more service since they are closed off to clean out the strainers, then re-opened. Other through hulls, like deck drains, are rarely adjusted since they are almost always left open. “Exercising” through hulls keeps them active and ready. One tip we recommend is using a PVC pipe as a “long reach” to check those through hulls tucked away outboard and also as a “persuader” that can give you the extra leverage you need to nudge a through hull that has become stiff due to lack of use. Never force a through hull, you could break it and open the flow of water. It is a good practice to have soft wooden bungs and a soft blow hammer nearby to plug a broken through hull and stop the inflow of raw water. If your boat is hauled out you can be a bit more aggressive, but if they are really stuck, they may need to be disassembled or replaced. 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.

Can You See Dolphins While Sailing in Croatia? Croatia's stunning coastline and crystal-clear Adriatic Sea are a dream for sailors. But imagine the thrill of spotting playful dolphins alongside your boat! So, the question is: can you encounter these charismatic creatures while sailing in Croatia? The answer is yes, there is a chance! The Adriatic Sea is home to several dolphin species, including: Bottlenose dolphins: These acrobatic dolphins are the most common in the Adriatic and are known for their playful jumps and friendly curiosity. Common dolphins: Smaller and faster than bottlenose dolphins, these dolphins travel in large pods and are often seen leaping out of the water. Dwarfe sperm whales: Not technically dolphins, but still fascinating to see, these small whales can sometimes be spotted in deeper waters. While dolphin sightings aren't guaranteed on any sailing trip, there are some factors that can increase your chances: Time of year: Spring and summer (May to September) see more dolphin activity in the Adriatic. Location: Areas with abundant fish, like around islands and underwater reefs, attract dolphins. Tour options: Some sailing trips in Croatia offer specifically designed dolphin-watching excursions. These trips often take you to areas with higher dolphin concentrations and may even involve experienced guides who can help you spot them. Here are some additional tips for spotting dolphins while sailing in Croatia: Keep an eye out! As you sail, be vigilant and scan the horizon for signs of movement, splashes, or fins breaking the surface. Bring binoculars. This will allow you to get a better look if you spot something in the distance. Listen for blowholes. Dolphins exhale through a blowhole on their back, which creates a distinctive puff of air and mist. Be patient and respectful. Dolphins are wild animals, so if you do spot them, enjoy the experience from afar and avoid disturbing them. Even if you don't encounter dolphins, a sailing trip in Croatia promises stunning scenery, charming towns, and unforgettable memories. But with a little planning and some luck, you might just get that magical moment of seeing these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. https://croatia-sailing-family-holidays.com/sailing-in-croatia/sailing-in-croatia-with-dolphins/
