Cooking wood fire pizza's on a catamaran ? In memory of Raffaele Pagliarini | Sailing Pacific Star
This video is in memory of Raff - Raffaele Pagliarini from SV YAWO. The first time we met Raff was in Middle Percy Island lagoon, where he had his catamaran beached. We had shared a few dinners together and he invited us over for wood fire pizzas. It was such a unique experience and it was the best tasting pizza we have ever had. Raff shared many stories, of his 40 years of sailing. Originally from Italy, this man truely knew how to live off the grid and was self-sufficient. He once mention that he had been 8 months without going to the shops to provision. He would trade with fellow yachties, for the exchange of home-made bread. Raff also shared in the 40 years of sailing, not once had he gone into a Marina. That still blows my mind away. He was a true sailor, with a wealth of knowledge and always making interesting modifications to his vessel to make it sail faster. He was like the mad scientist and Josh would say his boat reminded him of the movie "Water World". Raff will be truely missed in the sailing community. He had the biggest heart, full of so much knowledge and he was such a unique individual. His unique way of life, is such an inspiration. From the way he made modifications to make his catamaran & canoe to sail faster. To living off the land and sharing his knowledge about his inventions. From growing vegetables on land and harvesting his crop, he was known for helping fellow sailors out in the community. We count ourselves very fortunate to of crossed paths with Raff. We were also lucky enough to have the opportunity to enjoy his yummy wood fire pizzas. A memory we will treasure forever? Rest in peace my friend x Raff tragically lost his life, after a fire tore through his vessel SV YAWO, in Johnson River on the 4th November 2023. #cruisinglife #sailinglife #sailingadventures #sailing #sailingfamily #sailor #sailingaustralia #catamaran #travel #gypsie #nomadic #lifestyle #vlog #islands #sailingtrip #sailinglife #outdoorliving #boatlife #familyadventure #sailingyoutubechannel #ycass #ycdu #lattsandatts #seagypsy #freedomofthesea #traveldiaries
