Rigging Problems In The Bahamas. E43
February 13, 2022 by Sailing Wind Therapy | Language: EN Play Time: 00:25:06 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
We made it back to The Bahamas onboard our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran! The weather wasn’t the greatest. We had squalls, wind, waves, rain, more waves, more wind, and even a Water Spout… But we finally got there.
In Bimini, we adjusted our rigging. Why? Well, we were hearing a loud and unusual creaking sound coming from the port starboard bulkhead while sailing on a port tack. We had the rigging tuned in Ft. Lauderdale, but it created difficulties in opening and closing doors in the forward cabins and hanging lockers. After discussions with the rigger, we asked Dax from Aurora to help us loosen each turnbuckle. We’ve never done that before. Neither has he, but he has an incredible mechanical aptitude.
Then, we anchored too close to the channel off Cat Cay, and got up close and personal with some stingrays at Prime Cay. And the sunsets are amazing, as always.
And now for the music. Damon Fowler has been friends for a hundred years with Eddy Wright, another blues musician. They’ve been writing songs and performing together since they met. Many years ago they recorded two CDs, and we were lucky enough to get our hands on them. And the music in this video showcases some of our favorite songs from those CDs. We hope you enjoy them.

Sailing Wind Therapy
We’re Jeff and Adrienne. We both grew up sailing, but took 20 years off while married to our exes. When we got together in 2007, we remembered how much we loved sailing. So, we took a week-long sailing class in 2013, bought a Leopard 48 sailing cat, and never looked back (except for when Hurricane Irma destroyed her but we immediately purchased a new Leopard 45). In Spring 2021, our plan is to leave our marina in St. Petersburg, FL, and begin making our way to the Bahamas, then to New England, and then south, arriving in Grenada sometime in June 2022. Maybe, in May 2023, we’ll make our way across the Atlantic Ocean and spend some time in the Mediterranean. And then go around the world. We’ll figure it out. And hopefully, you’ll join us along the way. Thanks for watching our videos. We hope you like them.
