Solo sailing to the keys & the 6 minute refit | Sailing Zingaro Ep-1

Finally done with the first episode! Super exited to share this. Flew from Hawaii to Ft Myers, Florida to look at a catamaran, and ended up living there for 2 months while refitting and getting her ready for sea. It was tough, and a great learning experience. I've video-documented much of the process, and will be putting out detailed how-to videos, maybe they will help someone in their journey. On my way to Cuba the autopilot went out, and my Macbook screen broke! SO I decided to sail to Miami to go to the Apple store, visit a few friends, and spearfish everyday while the autopilot was being serviced by Raymarine.

The boat I found when I was living in Maui. It was in Florida, but the builder was in Maui so I took him out to lunch, then flew to Florida and purchased her the same day.
I'm out for as long as I can be. I'm heading to Tahiti, and hopefully around the world. I have enough money to last till the end of the year (I hope).
I'm going to make videos the entire way, but I'm not putting out crap, so there's not going to be a video every week just so I can make money. When I have enough good footage I'll put out a rad video, and I'll do how-to vids when the opportunity arises.
Thanks for the comment Harold. ;) Much love.

Great pleasure to watch this and dream away a bit from current reality under the cold and grey swedish skies ;-). Thanks!
Watching youtube videos is in no way adequate to prepare you.

Thanks for the videos.
Regarding your stuffing box issue, grounding generally shouldn't affect that (and in fact, your prop shouldn't have grounded at all, you should usually be grounding on the keels first), it's more likely it just wasn't adjusted appropriately initially. Those stuffing boxes are generally a 'set it and forget it' format. Once you have it adjusted so that it's dripping occasionally while the engine is running in-gear, lock it down and leave it that way (don't tighten/loosen it for when you're not running the engine, just leave it). The tiny amount of water that comes in while the engines are at rest is negligible. Check out Don Casey for all things boat-related, his books are great: http://www.boatus.com/boattech/casey/stuffing-box.asp.
The T&A thumbnails are a good indication of lots of onboard drama and not much actual sailing.
I'm subed!
Really looking forward to following along with your adventures. Subbed.

You think it's not click bait if it's actually in the video? No. It's a picture of add to bait you into clicking, irrelevant if it's in the video or not.
