REAL Sailing in Storms & Squalls on Day 8 Offshore [Ep. 70]
May 01, 2022 by Sailing Sweet Ruca | Language: EN Play Time: 00:20:10 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
Why are we storm chasing as we approach the equator? How we shift gears offshore.
We go storm chasing and switch gears when squall after squall, storm after storm, come barreling down on us. We are nearing closer to the Equator as we hit the doldrums during day 8 of our 5000 mile long.

So who is this crazy sailing couple making fun videos to share? Well, we are Kate and Curtis. We both sold up and headed out to sea, with the goal of sailing around the world via Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. We brought our mixed rescue dog along with us as she loves sailing and swimming too!
Our yacht is a year 2000 J Boats J/46. We searched for 3 years for our perfect sailboat for sale, when we found it, we knew it was the one.
We spent 6 months re-fitting it in Rhode Island and then went for our shakedown voyage in Maine.
We have now left on a huge voyage, our 2nd transatlantic crossing, this time sailing from the Canary Islands to South America. We have sailed over 10,000 bluewater miles to date.
We watched other sailing channels before we left as well and we wanted to return the good karma and pass our inspiration and knowledge along.
Enough of this, we hope you enjoy our relaxing video on #sailingsunday!
