Sailing Rough Seas in the Gulf Stream - Leg 3 Sailing SV Caterpillar

In our third episode, we pick up where we left off on our 1200 nautical mile passage. With the electrical problems resolved, our weather turns unsettled and we have a rough ride across the Gulf Stream Current. With squally weather and passing ships, we put our Radar and AIS to the test.

We are Bill and Dannalie Saunders, a retired couple from Buffalo, NY inching our way around the world on our Knysna 440 Sailing Catamaran S/V Caterpillar. We have created this channel so you can follow us as we travel. See where we go and how we get there. Learn a little, teach us something, have some laughs, and be inspired. We have been living aboard S/V Caterpillar for two years now, but many people have asked us about our story and how we made this dream happen, so we’ve decided to publish this video series. Please subscribe and stay tuned as we take you back to the beginning when we bought what we think is the perfect bluewater sailing catamaran, a Knysna 440 built in South Africa, refit her ourselves, and set off to sail around the world. We’re not young, good looking YouTube stars. We’re just your average retired couple. Middle-aged and a bit out of shape. If we can do this, you can too. Hopefully our story will inspire you. We are not looking for monetization, donations, or a way to fund our adventures. Although it would inspire us to keep telling our story if we find that people are actually interested in watching, so please subscribe and click the thumbs-up button and share our channel with your family and friends and anyone you think might be interested. Thanks!
