Making Better Junk and Sailing to Ft Myers
Ken dropped by for a visit, showcasing the DIY projects he’s been working on, inspired by SV Seeker. Among his creations, he is rebuilding a hurricane-damaged seawall. It’s an impressive project hampered more by bureaucratic permits than the construction itself.
SV Seeker – The Junk
The team at SV Seeker is on a sailing journey, testing the limits of their junk rigged sailboat. They have several stops planned, including reaching Ft Myers, Florida.
Tubular Webbing and Sail Adjustment
During their journey, SV Seeker makes various modifications to improve the efficiency of their sail. They utilize tubular webbing for added strength in the sail lines, enhancing adjustability and ease of use.
Navigating Weather Patterns
The team pays close attention to weather forecasts, particularly important during hurricane season. They rely on tools like the spaghetti model and PredictWind to guide their route safely through potential stormy conditions.
Utilizing Hund’s Variable Pitch Control System
SV Seeker demonstrates the effectiveness of their Hund variable pitch control system. By adjusting the pitch and RPM settings, they maximize fuel efficiency while maintaining a manageable sailing speed.
Successful Arrival in San Carlos Bay
After navigating through challenging conditions and making adjustments to their sail, SV Seeker successfully anchors in San Carlos Bay, Fort Myers, Florida. Their journey showcases not only the capabilities of their junk-rigged sailboat but also their resourcefulness and determination.
The Importance of Patience
Skipper reflects on the importance of patience in navigation, especially when faced with light winds or unfavorable conditions. Taking a more leisurely approach allows them to enjoy the journey and arrive safely at their destination.
The Conclusion
In conclusion, Ken’s DIY seawall project after hurricane Ian damage showcases perseverance and innovation. Meanwhile, SV Seeker continues their inspiring sailing journey across the waterways of Florida, teaching valuable lessons about patience, planning, and adaptation along the way.
