Sailing into DISASTER!....Alone at sea | #16 Sailing Footloose Solo
After 11 days of solitude, of which 6 days on a mooring in Cozumel, Mexico, it is time to set sail to Curaçao. Multiple things had to be fixed but being all by myself meant that this had to be improvised with the supplies and knowledge on-board!
Leaving Cozumel it was not a suprise when Footloose and I came across strong northerly cross-currents. This, combined with seasickness, the worn and partially torn sails and rough weather caused a bit of anxiety on-board.
This gut feeling shows to be for a good reason!
FYI; This video was captured in April 2020. Many countries had closed borders which gave another factor to take into consideration for cruisers all over the globe. This is still the ca...

Boats belong in the water and Footloose belongs to the sea. That is where we are both happy. After many difficulties with my boat in Guatemala we are ready to undergo the last but necessary difficult step. Footloose needs to be heeled over again to get her over the sandbank into the sea. It ended up being more difficult than the way into the Rio Dulce. Once at sea I wasn't totally sure if anyth...

How my ship with a draft of 8ft got towed over the 6ft deep sandbank. I had heard many good stories about the Rio dulce over the years, which had made me very curious. I knew however that my vessels draft would not make it possible to enter the river. Getting closer to Guatemala I started meeting people who had visited Rio Dulce. They told me that there are professionals who help large ships en...

My wife was watching the video with me and was curious why you wear a dress. I remarked that when it is weather is comfortable and the sea is clam you probably go sans. Love your sailboat

Prettig... bravo
Super cool video!! We enjoyed it here in Guadeloupe, cheers
Great to see you back at sea again. That’s a tough trip, strong winds, shipping traffic and lack of sleep, kudos to you!

Country's worldwide have gone overboard with regulations and measures to in no avail trying to stop a virus. Willing and under full knowledge of put thousands of boaters in grate risk. Making boats do passages in bad weather windows, denied access to safe anchorage, the list is endless. I hope there will be a huge trial somewhere in 2025 to put everyone to justice for this huge crime against humanity. No I don't say there is no virus, all I say the useless efforts to control the virus has done more damage than the virus ever could have done. I love your videos keep them coming.
Yes well said and I totally agree.
Glad you got back to sea.
Thank you, yes .. that is where I am happy!
Leuk te zien dat je weer vaart!
Fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing your further adventures.
Thank you!
Happy to see you back at sea. I think I may have motored past you in Isla Mujeres early last June, heading north as crew on a Roberts. I was very impressed by the design. Nice to see you sailing properly in big winds. Your skill and attitude are commendable. Fair wiinds.
That is possible, in my next video you will see how I end up there
Where are the pirates?
Hey Carin, that has been a long time ago, this feels a bit like when we sailed in Greece about 16 years ago cool to see u are still doing what u love !
Hé Marco! Wat leuk!! Ja ik blijf mijn passie volgen! Griekenland was ook prachtig en daar kom ik zeker nog een keer!
@@FOOTLOOSEsailing Heel cool, ik kijk er naar uit leuke vlogs ook mooi om te zien wat je allemaal mee maakt.
Hi Carin -if life were different I would volunteer to help you get your boat to holland -take care
Thank you... Well I made up my mindand will proceed and go through the canal

Great job
Thank you!
Did you need help to get across the sand bar at Rio Dulce when it was time to leave?
Hi Rob, yes that was one of my big concerns. As the tide was only a few times a year enough to get out the Rio Dulce with at least as much water as I came in I needed help. There were curfews and lockdowns just around that time. I needed permission to navigate the Rio Dulce and the boats Who heeled and towed me needed permission as well. Getting out the Rio Dulce was way more difficult than going in. You will see more about it in my next video.
schön das es weiter geht
Yes, I keep on sailing! Just not sure which direction!
Found your channel from watching Captain Rick. Thanks for sharing your life and travels! Hope you and your daughter are happy and doing well!
Thank you so much! I hope that you are enjoying my video's
I respect you going out on a solo journey of this nature. I wish you the best of love, joy and happiness.
Thank you so much!
Is Rio Dulce a good place to haul out? Is it inexpensive? Are the workers good, and not expensive to pay for work like paint? Are there many places to haul out there, or just one? It seems like not a good spot for a bigger boat because of the sand bar and the difficulty you had with the lift. Were there many sailboats in Rio Dulce, or just the ones in your video?
I'm surprised they don't dig a deeper channel so it would be easier to get boats in and out
Hi Carin, we're so pleased to have discovered your channel and are looking forward to binge watching your past eps. Cheers!
Hi Carin -this is phil -I check on you about once a month -I never could pronounce daughters name -but like you -unforgettable--best of luck -you can email anytime if you want 😘
I wish you a very happily footloose 2021, fair winds and sunshine.
I just discovered you channel and am watching your videos from the begining. Excellent so far! What brand of wind vane do you have?
Good stuff!
The buildings in Cuba looked interesting. Did you get to see much of the city, or just the marina and the stores?
What language did you speak when you talked to the Cuban officials? Do you speak Spanish? Do they speak Dutch?
Hi Rob, it is all Spanish but I think they speak English as well.
