You Won't Believe What We Did When Sailing Toward The Equator [Ep. 68]
April 10, 2022 by Sailing Sweet Ruca | Language: EN Play Time: 00:18:00 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
A big mistake. This is how we fix problems while sailing in the open ocean. We are headed toward the equator, there is nothing for thousands of miles but blue water.
#sailing #yacht #diy #bluewater
Not everything is perfect all the time. Curtis completely blows a gybe and causes a huge hourglass in the spinnaker. See how we fix it under sail. We also get out the drone and get some amazing sunset shots as we sail past the islands of Cabo Verde. No stopping for us, we are continuing our push to South America!

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 boat 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 stopped in Annapolis for a bit to do some more refit work and offshore modifications, then we set off to the open sea. We went to the Bahamas, Miami, US Virgin Islands, BVI, Grenada, Carriacou, St. Maarten, where we enjoyed outdoor adventures, scuba diving, and have now did an Atlantic Crossing to the Azores where we had a chance to fly our DJI drone (and learned how to fly a drone from a boat) and one of our favorite past times, mountain biking. We have sailed over 10,000 bluewater miles to date.
We watched other sailing channels before we left as well. We even considered van life, a tiny home, or a motorhome / rv. Some of the channels we enjoyed were Gone with the Wynns, Project Atticus, and MJ Sailing. We didn’t really set out to be influencers, but 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!
