John Vigor's Blog: September 2014
http://johnvigor.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
September 30, 2014. When to call for help. ONE OF THE THINGS that most worries newcomers to boating is what to do when a medical emergency strikes the skipper. I’m referring to a situation in which there are only two people aboard, and the one who always does the steering and navigation is suddenly taken ill. So the first things to learn would be:. 1 How to put the engine(s) in neutral, and. 2 How to call for help. You should know how to send a Mayday call on Channel 16, or any other channel that seems a...
John Vigor's Blog: Racer/cruisers and vice versa
http://johnvigor.blogspot.com/2015/08/racercruisers-and-vice-versa.html
August 4, 2015. Racer/cruisers and vice versa. I WAS THINKING the other day that I need another little Santana 22 sloop. I owned one about 20 years ago. I turned her into a miniature “sport cruiser” and loved her to bits. She was the first successful. Mull was one who had very definite ideas about the difference between cruiser/racers and racer/cruisers. He didn’t design either. He simply created what he called “good sailboats.”. He was quoted as saying:. Good looks and performance. “It has to ...An airy...
John Vigor's Blog: December 2014
http://johnvigor.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
December 30, 2014. Catching fish while sailing. TONIGHT I SHALL MAKE GRAVLOX for our annual party on the day after New Year’s Day. I shall pour coarse salt and new-ground pepper onto filets of local salmon and smother it all with bunches of dill. And then, while it matures in the fridge for two days I shall think about all the fish I’ve caught in my sailing career. I have often wondered whether puffer fish are as poisonous for sharks as they are for humans. We linked up with Wind Song. They made it from ...
John Vigor's Blog: Propellers made easy
http://johnvigor.blogspot.com/2015/08/propellers-made-easy.html
August 6, 2015. A WHILE BACK I was editing an article for Good Old Boat. Magazine. It said:. 8220;When you select a propeller, you should match every dimension of that propeller to the hull and the engine driving it to attain maximum efficiency. This makes propeller selection and calculation very difficult for those of us who are not naval architects.”. On page 47 you’ll find another graph that shows you the pitch you need. This points you in the right direction for your prop. It’s ab...Make sure your bo...
John Vigor's Blog: Things to know, just in case
http://johnvigor.blogspot.com/2015/05/things-to-know-just-in-case.html
May 17, 2015. Things to know, just in case. THERE ARE THINGS you should know about sailing a boat that you are never likely to put into practice, but which you should know anyway because you never know . . . Yes, it’s true, you never know. Who can tell for certain what lies before us, at sea as much as on land? An eminent sailor and physician once advised me to try drinking half a cup of sea water once or twice a day when I suffered prolonged bouts of seasickness. It wouldn’t stay in my stomach...All rig...

High Seas and Low Latitudes ....... s/v Sundancer: February 2015
http://highseasandlowlatitudes.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
High Seas and Low Latitudes . s/v Sundancer. Thursday, February 19, 2015. And 4 and 5. So my daily updates arent. Daily, I mean. Sometimes, the effort required to actually write an update is just too much work, and then there is the whole needing to actually getting a ssb connection.I have so many worries. The squalls have settled down too - we were getting one or two a day, but yesterday for the first time, we just had a few clouds, but no rain. Weve seen no wildlife for days! Conditions: 1-2 foot swell.

http://highseasandlowlatitudes.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
High Seas and Low Latitudes . s/v Sundancer. Monday, October 13, 2014. A Week in the Life. So we are waiting.waiting for our French Polynesia long-stay visa to come back from Papeete. In the meantime, we wait some more and find projects to tear up the boat so that we can live in disorganization. It's so much fun. I'm not sure if it'll make it onto the good ship Sundancer. I'd have to leave a bag of flour behind. In the meantime, we wait. Monday, October 6, 2014. One item of note was the mentality of the ...

High Seas and Low Latitudes . s/v Sundancer. Sunday, February 15, 2015. WL2K Galapagos to Easter Island - Day 1 recap. We left the Galapagos Islands with the speed of their namesakes - a lumbering tortoise-like 3 knots, but is there a better way to ease into a long, interminably long passage? If we get an average of 100nm per day, we should be making the passage in 20 days. Unfortunately. The first 24 hours has come and gone, and we are settling into the life. A brief synopsis:. Hour 3 - Wind died. Upon ...

High Seas and Low Latitudes . s/v Sundancer. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Does it get any better than food in Mexico? Time sure does fly when you aren't drifting aimlessly offshore. It's been 2 weeks since we "arrived" here in Huatulco, and our joy at being here has not diminished one bit since we first kissed the dock. We are very grateful for:. Chips and Salsa - what is wrong with the rest of Central and South America? April 14, 2015 at 11:47 AM. April 19, 2015 at 8:21 AM. Too right, Laura, but unfortunat...

Ruminations on a Theme(s). For the thinking stuff, brain wanderings and book learnings. Monday, October 15, 2012. At any time and always, one of my most favorite of authors along with Thomas Hardy. His evocation of all things character are matched by none then or since. Can I say of her face - altered as I have reason to remember it, perished as I know it is - that it is gone, when here it comes before me at this instant, as distinct as any face that I may choose to look on in a crowded street? Fall is, ...
