Well.. it kind of is a problem. We are BACK and SAILING!! This isn't the way I would want any sail to go, let alone my first sail back... but I am happy that we are safe and beginning another season.

After 3 months in the yard... Soul de La Mar may finally hit the water again! The yard is a tough place to be; the work is hard and you are dirty just about all the time. I am dreaming of sailing but I still have a few small and a BIG project that has to be finished before we hit the high seas... but it's coming SOON!

Season 7 : Episode #166 : Serious Sailing between Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa Islands

Hello Friends,

On this weeks episode we start our day on the hook at Santa Cruz Island after a very rolly night in the anchorage of Morse Point.

We decided to do our first (non- emergency) sail off of anchor given there large open anchorage we were in and the good steady winds. We tied the first reef in the mainsail and Camille worked the boat towards the anchor, powering up the main then goin into irons so I could easily haul the the anchor as we would have if we had the motor on.

It went perfectly and was a lot of fun.

We instantly realized that we needed to tie our 2nd reef in as the boat was already over powered in the protected bay.

Once out into the channel we had a very lively and fun sail across the channel and tacking up the southern coast of Santa Rosa to the anchorage of Johnson's Lee

Season 8 : Hawaiian Adventures : Episode #214

On this episode we have a change of plans as a weather update shows high winds forecasted for the coming week and we point our bow towards Oahu's westside; Pokai Bay.

During the passage I recorded a very ominous VHF call of a fisherman reporting to the Coast Guard that he had just seen a plane lose its wing and spiral down into the sea. I never found out what happened with this even after I searched the internet high and low in the following days. If you have information about this plane crash I would be interested to hear more.

Episode #252 : Season 8 : The Hawaiian Adventures

Hello Friends,

On this episode @kimberlywood-saltybutterfl262 and myself make passage across the dreaded Alenuihaha Channel between Maui and the Big Island of Hawaii. After an easy but very wet passage we arrive at Nishimura Anchorage and enjoy some snorkel adventures.

Join us on this boat tour of the Lagoon Sixty 5, a luxury 65 foot catamaran from the French yard that is a semi custom yacht. Links to various sections below if you are short of time.
-
Please give us a thumbs up and subscribe to https://www.youtube.com/@katam....aranscom/?sub_confir if you enjoy the video!

Designed by VPLP, the SIXTY 5 (65) and SIXTY 7 (67) are part of the new 5th generation design from the famous French manufacturer, and along with the SEVENTY 7 their most luxurious yachts to date. The SIXTY 5 is the successor to the 620, and represents quite a step up in terms of performance and refinement. The SIXTY 7 is the motor version of the yacht.

CUSTOMISATION
One of the key advantages of the Lagoon SIXTY 5 sailing catamaran is the opportunity you have for customisation. Pierre from Lagoon told us that he received over 700 emails from one build's customer with ideas and questions. If the work has previously been commisioned and the plans made up, then these changes are easier and cheaper.

If not, a project is started to scope out the request, work out the cost and formulate a plan. Most things are possible for a price unless it affects the overall structure of the yacht.

After our not so stelar experience in Penang, we take off for Langkawi - which will be our last stop in Malaysia. Z and I weigh anchor at 5 AM and set off for the Malacca Strait. Depending on the winds this could take up to 15 hours, and we don’t want to arrive after sundown. Morning darkness washes away as we give priority to several Big Ass Ships… We didn't know it, but we are in for a treat - PERFECT SAILing conditions after what seemed like 6 long months of motoring.
Hope you will enjoy as much as we did.
On the way, we also share the rule of the thumb - boat speed vs apparent wind. We nailed this one ;)
Then we arrive to Telaga Harbour marina in Langkawi. Join us!

We left Bali and headed up Lombok Strait up north. 480NM journey zigzagging between fisherman’s boats, nets and fishing traps was no joke, but we did it again. Just to face shallow entry into Kumai, where we will take overnight tour aboard a power boat… Our intentions to meet orangutans in the wild - and we get tangled into drone drama… We lost our drone… in the jungles… We hire locals to take us search trying to find it but unsuccessfully. Drone drama aside we had very special experience in Tanjung Putting National Park - we visited 3 different camps: Camp Leakey, Pundok Tanggui and Tanjung Harpan. There we met hundred orangutans... What an experience! Join us!

We just transited Suez Canal and we finally in Mediterranean Sea! And we are so lucky, that for wintering out we chose Greece island Crete, as to be honest - with those winds that's the only place we could sail to! And it is such a treat - you have to join us and see it by yourself!

We left the Canary Islands, Tenerife for the Atlantic Ocean Crossing it is a little over 2,600 NM going straight, but due to prevailing trade winds majority of sailors and we sail south towards Cape Verde. We were not sure if we would stop there or continue, and we were ready for either.
But the winds dictated to stop otherwise we would face 3-4 days with no wind at all... So here we go country Number 50: Cape Verde!
