Boat life in JUNE 2023 by the numbers🧾 The most exciting number is our overall engine hours — we’ve hit the magic number for things to have melded together 🙃 never mind Shane has been trying to solve a new problem with the engine 😋 We’ve been living aboard full time for one year and after two years of owning our boat, we’ve renamed her to Shorleave - Shane is the fourth generation of Donogh men to have a Shorleave vessel. We were able to visit with a relative of his while off Spencer Spit who has also had a Shorleave. We stayed on the mooring ball at Rosario for a couple nights so the kids could get some swim time in — a couple nights on the DNR ball at Cypress and a couple on the dock at Jones Island. Our marina stay was to replace our water pump 💵 🚰 Anchorages are $0 and only possible because of the money 💰 put into upgrading batteries and adding solar over the past year. The kids have been paddling, playing in the water, hiking (begrudgingly), working on math and grammar, reading, doing boat chores, helping with land runs, and still playing Fortnite. Groceries are 🍌 🍌🍌 shopping at Safeway saved me money when we were anchored off Anacortes. We’ve officially been on the Friday Harbor waitlist for a slip for two years. I bet our number is going to be called any day! 😉 until then there’s no complaints over here!! Incredible sunsets, different paddle locations, stargazing, and all the comforts of land (almost 😋) - and of course work. #boatlife #liveaboardlife #liveaboard #seafinn411 #sanjuanislands

⚠️ Grosse frayeur à bord de OUALAOUTI aujourd’hui. On a croisé un bateau à très faible distance… sans qu’aucun de nos systèmes électroniques ne le détecte : ❌ Radar ❌ AIS ❌ Alarmes 👉 Ce rappel vaut pour tous : les instruments sont utiles, mais ne remplacent JAMAIS une veille visuelle active. 📍Lieu : Méditerranée – près de LEUCATE 🛥️ Bateau : Excess 12 – OUALAOUTI 🎥 Capté en live, pas rejoué. #voile #securitemer #radar #ais #oualaouti #viedebateau #frayeurenmer #catamaranlife #navigationresponsable

The modern Catamarans are made for comfort and not so much for sailing, that means they project a very large beam surface and the anchor cannot be effective with more than 15 kts of Crossing wind. To make the anchor effective you must upgrade to maybe 50 kg witch is unrealistic for this kind of boats, so make sure you protect your leeward quarter with a round fender or even better a permanent fender that can protect from any kind of accidental touch to the dock during your backing as well.
