It’s been an adaptation coming back to the city after being cruising on and off for the last few years. Most people that you meet in those waters are usually as crazy. While sharing spearfishing 🐟 and bioluminescence stories, sunsets, a cold b
Nature amaze me everyday and reminds me there’s beauty hidden everywhere. Although it’s never a nice surprise to have the hull covered with muscles, this made me smile. ⛵️On @sv.yarreh after their first haul out! . . . #ocean #heart #boat

Sun-dried Fish Jerky RECIPE
Sun-dried Fish Jerky RECIPE

While cruising we have been catching a lot of fish while spearfishing. The fridge and freezer space is always a challenge, which having fish jerky ready to go to snack on and you don’t have to store in the fridge is really handy. It’s easy to do and great snack while you are on watch and don’t really want to go down below making food.

TIDAL GRID. A Cheap way to haul-out your boat
TIDAL GRID. A Cheap way to haul-out your boat

It’s time to pull the boat out of the water and you don’t want to pay the big bucks. Well, I fell you! The good news is for centuries, salty sailors didn’t have those fancy slings and trailers to pull boats out of the water. One of the proven techniques that was used was “tidal grids”. Tidal grids??! What the hell is that you say?!? Well a tidal grid is simply a place that lets you bring your boat to this location or dock at a pre-chosen high tide. After the boat is nicely tied and secured to the pillars/dock and resting on it’s keel, the hull of the boat will be exposed at low tide. This is a very affordable technique to work on your boat and do various maintenance: cleaning the hull, changing a thru-hull, zincs anodes, paint, etc.

On our boat we did a full hull scrapping, cleaning and full repaint with 2 coats of anti-falling paint. With all the money we saved, we hosted dinner and beers for all our friends that came to help us that day.

I know the idea of balancing your sailboat on the keel sounds quite scary, but if done properly, it’s a lot easier than you think. Through this post, I will walk you through all the steps I took in order to successfully use a tidal grid and save tons of money!! $$$

Someone once told me that you have to do the things that scare you if you want to get the most out of life. Sailing was one of them.
