We're Back | Sailing Balachandra E039

We're finally back with a new video! We finish up our refit for the Carribean having re-built our rudder, replaced our keel bolt washers, replaced a bulkhead, installed lazy jacks, bought 2 new anchors, and serviced our standing rigging. Lots and lots of big jobs, but it all needed to be done in order to prepare the boat for the next year of crusing the tropics! In this video we visit Sailing Uma, get some free water shoes, take the boat out for the frist time all year, test out our hydrostatic release, and service the keel bolts. We FINALLY got on board with PATREON!

In August of 2017 I sold everything and moved aboard Balachandra, a 1986 C&C44 sailboat, then sailed it over 300 nautical miles to Halifax Nova Scotia to spend a cold Canadian winter in the frozen waters of the North Atlantic. Sailing Balachandra is our YouTube sailing vlog inspired by other great channels such as Delos and La Vagabonde, which documents the sailing adventures of myself and the occasional crewmembers(s) as we navigate the east coast of North America and beyond. We also dive into lots of DIY boat projects both above and below decks, and share with you all of the pros and cons of living aboard in a cold climate. Sailing Balachandra is published weekly so please subscribe so you don't miss out on future videos!
