In this episode I continue our discussion on gear for single-handed sailing and I describe the gear that I use for med mooring and side tying as well as Stern tying. I also going into detail about how I go about reefing my mainsail while single-handed sailing.

I'm looking for volunteers to help me create quizzes for the website. These quizzes could cover rules of the road, photographs to identify where in the Mediterranean you are or any other interesting topic. If you're interested in helping me or in writing articles for the site, please contact me by using the contact form.

I received a couple e-mails and comments from a listener Shawn MacKey who has a website http://www.shawnmackey.com he's an artist and has allowed me to share some of his art with you. If this appeals to you might check out his website.

He calls this piece:

"The Good Life"

In the sling near Bodrum, at the end of this summer's sailing (©Jack Andrys)

A listener wrote in and asked me to talk about the gear that I use on my boat when I have it set up for single-handed sailing. I spend about a half an hour talking about the gear that I use for basic anchoring in the next few episodes I hope to remember to talk about the techniques that I use for single-handed sailing while Med mooring. After  I discuss my gear and techniques for single-handed anchoring we finish up with conversations that Jack Andrys, Neil Fletcher and I had about the trip while we were sitting at a hotel having a beer at the end of the summer in Bodrum Turkey. Jack and Neil were a delight to have on board I consider them lifelong friends after this trip. We cover some of the work necessary for storing Sea Dream on the hard until next May, and share some of our techniques for rolling up the main and draining the water tanks. Neil also opines (as he does often) about a classic British cruiser he spotted at the boatyard.

 

I just posted a reprint of an article on how to MED MOOR if you are interested it is located here https://www.medsailor.com/?p=978

I have a delightful conversation today with Jeffrey S. Wettig of Shooting the Breeze Sailing Podcast. Even though this has nothing to do sailing in the Mediterranean it does have to do a sailing and a little bit about podcasting. When I left to sail across the Atlantic I had a little bit of time to explore a tiny bit of the Chesapeake Bay. Jeffrey gives me a little more detail about sailing in the Chesapeake and his future plans. I hope you enjoy this episode please feel free to contact me if you have any thoughts.

You can find Shooting the Breeze sailing podcast either by searching for in the iTunes directory or by going to his website here:
