Hi everyone, For the past few days Drake has been resting and recuperating after extensive dental surgery. He hasn’t been able to edit this week’s episode about our voyaging in Greenland. Instead of going for another week without publishing a new video, here’s one of our many real time updates that we posted on our Patreon page just a week after we filmed it. This was originally a BONUS real time video for our Patrons. To see more videos like this join our Patreon community at https://www.patreon.com/DrakeParagon
When we pushed off from Stornoway to sail to Faroe everything was going well, that is until we started using the jib. As you saw in the last video, the port side jib winch seized within the first hour or two of our sail making it impossible to use.
We were close enough that turning around would have been simple, but that was something that neither of us really wanted to do. The weather had not been cooperating and our intended push off date of 1 May had come and gone and now, nearly two weeks later (with some very expensive transient rates) we were eager to leave.
Drake ended up running the port side jib sheet across the cockpit and over to the starboard side winch which worked well enough for our 285 nautical mile sail to Faroe, but was definitely not a long term solution.
The winch needed to be serviced and we were crossing our fingers that there was no irreparable damage.
Therefore, on a sunny day in Faroe Drake, with a little help from our friends, serviced our Barient winch and filmed the whole process for you guys.
A big thank you to Alfy from the YouTube channel Life is Like Sailing for his great video about winch maintenance. If you haven’t seen his videos then you’re in for a treat. Check out his channel at https://www.youtube.com/user/bcsailor2003
Without further ado, let’s jump in to the video!
