Solo Sailing definitely has its CHALLENGES - A Solo Sailors Life in the East Caribbean
December 11, 2022 by Huub Vlogs | Language: EN Play Time: 00:21:07 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
After 50 years afloat, all the pop-rivets on the boat are breaking. In the anchorage I need to replace about 100 pop rivets while being in the mast.
I sail from Fort de France, the Capital of Martinique to Saint-Pierre, Case Pilote and eventually to Schoelcher. I take my borrow dog for a dinghy ride, explore a couple of towns, get to know some French hospitality and … fix the boat
From buying a sailboat, to making it ready to sail, to sailing the Caribbean
