🇮🇹 Da Fano a Baia Vallugola: il porto più bello… e più pericoloso della mia crociera! ⚓️ In questo episodio salpo da Fano per raggiungere una delle baie più incredibili dell’Adriatico: Baia Vallugola. Un piccolo paradiso nascosto tra le falesie del Monte San Bartolo, con acque cristalline e un’atmosfera magica. ✨ Ma attenzione… entrare con una barca a vela qui non è per tutti 😬 Il fondale è basso, l’ingresso stretto e se sbagli anche solo di pochi metri… rischi grosso! Ti porto con me tra manovre, tensione e meraviglia, fino all’arrivo in quello che — senza dubbio — è il porto più bello e più emozionante di tutta la mia crociera. 🎥 Guarda il video fino alla fine… ne vale la pena! 👇 Lascia un commento e dimmi se tu avresti avuto il coraggio di entrare! #inbarcacondario #crocierainsolitario #barcaavela #navigazionesolitario #vela #diariodibordo #maltempoinmare 🇺🇸🇬🇧 From Fano to Baia Vallugola: the most beautiful… and most dangerous port of my trip! ⚓️ In this episode I sail from Fano to one of the most amazing bays on the Adriatic: Baia Vallugola. A hidden paradise between the cliffs of Monte San Bartolo, with crystal-clear water and a magical vibe. ✨ But be careful… entering here with a sailboat is not for everyone 😬 The depth is shallow, the entrance is narrow, and if you miss it by a few meters… you’re in trouble! Join me through tension, beauty and adventure, all the way to what I can say is the most beautiful and thrilling port of my whole trip. 🎥 Watch till the end… it’s worth it! 👇 Would you have had the courage to enter? #inbarcacondario #sailinglife #liveaboardlife #boatingadventures #safetyfirst #sailingjourney #diyonboard #simplysailing #boatlife ***************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************** 📬Per richieste commerciali/proposte di lavoro/collaborazioni: 📩 inbarcacondario@gmail.com Se hai consigli, come sempre nei commenti puoi dirmi che cosa ne pensi!

In this video, we walk through the installation of our unique J Propeller using the new parts J Prop sent back to fit our new ZF saildrive. Our J Prop is built for adaptability and longevity: - The outer body is made in three parts, so it can always be re-machined in the future to remove wear and ensure no play. - The interior part can be modified to fit other saildrives or gearboxes. From the cylindrical spacer to fully greasing and securing the prop, we cover all the small but essential details that make a big difference for this prop install. 💡 Learn more about the special features of our J Prop in our previous video: https://youtu.be/uZ2-jJDYUFI?si=GNjEJzkwzEw9TSKc At the end, we also show a special moment: painting all our Patreon supporters’ names on the hull with antifoul — your support literally sails with us! We also have two new behind-the-scenes videos on our Patreon: - Propeller pitch experiment: See how changing the pitch can save fuel, improve performance, and even affect cargo ship efficiency. - DIY saildrive seal: Timo builds a custom saildrive seal out of a rubber shoe 😄, a clever little DIY fix.

Join Chris and Danielle, Army veterans living the sailboat dream on SV Agua Azul, for a real day in the Dominican Republic. From a super high tide under the full moon to wild grocery runs and essential boat fixes, this vlog captures the ups and downs of island life. We start with our propane rental car (spot the dings!), fuel up, and grab a stunning ocean-view breakfast – Dominican fish for her, American classics for him. Share bites and help a local? Check. Then, navigate chaotic parking like Mad Max to Jumbo for groceries, spotting early Christmas cheer. Back at the marina, load the dinghy (it bulges!), motor through rain, and unpack – sniffing for freshness after a past chicken mishap. Watch boat projects: improvise a hatch hinge with screws and washers, tweak the Seawater Pro water maker seals, and unclog the head without a mess. Plus, clean dingy walls with Dawn for that fresh look. Heat's rising to 90s, so open windows and chill. Furry crew gets peanut butter bacon treats. End with reflections on why we love this life.

Our Volvo Penta D2-75F started smoking just days before an approaching tropical storm — we had to tear it down and re-machine a part ourselves. This episode shows the real side of liveaboard catamaran life: hands-on DIY marine diesel repair, sailing storm prep, and keeping kids busy in tight quarters (Laurie gets a full makeover courtesy of the crew!). We also talk through other engine problems we’ve been chasing and what’s next. Boat/Region: Royal Cape 500 • U.S. East Coast / Atlantic Topics: Volvo Penta D2-75F oil leak, smoking diesel, re-machining engine parts, storm preparation, catamaran maintenance, family sailing. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly sailing, catamaran upgrades, and real boat life episodes.

SOLO SAILING THE BRAZIL COAST Welcome back aboard our floating home. After an unforgettable family reunion in Lucerne, Switzerland, where Finn and and Ben brought home silver for New Zealand at the rowing World Cup, Rob returns to Brazil for a solo sailing mission aboard our boat in the stunning marina of Sao Miguel. While the boys and I stay behind in England for some long, overdue family time, Rob takes on life at sea alone, tackling boat maintenance, navigating Brazilian waters, and settling back into the rhythms of cruising life. This episode captures the ever shifting tides of full-time sailing life, the calm, the chaos, and the constant adventure that comes with living aboard a catamaran.

In the first SMACO video we unboxed the mini scuba tank and compressor, checked out the components, and tested the equipment. But now it's time for the real test...does it work for our cruising sailboat! In this video we put the SMACO S700 gear to the test to clean the hull at anchor before a big voyage, and talk about the pros and cons. 👉 Check out the Smaco gear with our affiliate link here: https://www.smacodive.com/product/smaco-s700-2l-mini-scuba-tank-with-heap-1/?ref=paragon Link to Smaco S700 Mini Scuba Tank + Compressor: Hull Cleaning Made Easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybvcYNCW498
