We bought a canyoning harness before leaving Australia and it was still adjusted for Carolyn’s small size, so she was the one to try it first. The fourth mast step was too stiff to be opened so that’s as high as she climbed. We’ll need to carry some kind of persuader to open them, until they free up a bit. After that first climbing effort we had a second go in the fading light, with the two halyards again but also the winch this time. Much easier, for her! :-)

We've been playing boat tetras in the yard, we were blocking in a boat that was ready to splash - a mono came out, a cat needed to go in, and a spot has become available for us in the front yard right next to our sistership 💪✨️ Always a fun day in the yard, especially when you're able to cook dinner in your home while your home is physically being moved 🤪⛵️ • • • #sailing #sailboat #liveabroad #sailboatliving #boatlife #Boating #travellife #travel #worldtravelers #sailinglife #sailors #sailinglovers #sailingyacht #belowdeck #lifeatsea #sailinggirls #sailaway #travelcommunity #traveltips #tinyhome #smallhome #sailingadventure #adventureseeker #adventure #ycass #bucketlisters #adventuretime

Life on the Cobia 296: this boat has an extremely deep cockpit, the deck is level from stem to stern, and you're always ringed on all sides by tall gunwales that keep you securely inside the boat. As we begin casting I notice those tall gunwales are good for something else, too. They're at just the right height to lean up against without feeling like you could lose your balance and flip over the side, and they're lined with cushy bolsters. The down-side to those tall gunwales? More windage, a longer haul when you need to bring the catch in over the side, and you can't easily reach the water to rinse off your hands. The extra heft of the larger boat also, naturally, made it more comfortable in the waves. That's a given—when the waves are rockin' and rollin' there's no substitute for LOA and displacement—but my comfort level on the 296 went up even farther when I heard the call of nature. If you're sick and tired of box-like center console cabins that make using the head a contorted, cramped chore, just take a look at this boat's head compartment. Seriously—take a look for yourself. I found it so roomy, I decided to shoot this video so you could lay your eyeballs on it up close and personal.
