Today is sunny and warm, a most excellent day to make a video…long overdue…
Wonderful video and a much deserved celebratory swig. Congrats on hitting the 6-month mark. Impressive.
Congratulations on your double rounding of cape horn! Enjoy the bubbly and enjoy the Atlantic. Absolutely love following your voyage. Always wishing you the best Randall. An inspiring voyage by any measure.
Bravo!! Thanks for thegreat video and bringing us along. All the very best.
Congratulations Randal. I am now in Florinopolis Brazil which is due west of where you were when you made the video. Even on land the weather is perfect. May all the elements be with you.
Congratulations! Six months! Looking at the “Champagne “ makes me even more amazed at how much food you have been able to stuff aboard, among all your sailing and sailboat managing achievements.
By the way, what was the final story with your engine/alternator problem?
You are one amazing dude.
Congratulations Randall! I have good (sailing) friends in St. John’s who would be happy to take care of you. Are you planning to stop there?
Nice of you to praise the pulse MIG aluminium welders! Happy to see the swaging, rudder shaft, and through-hulls all hold up. Your confidence level in Moli must be really high right now. I keep thinking about the workout the windvane is getting. Must be a constant maintenance item.
