Part of this journey is to push ourselves beyond our comfort zones and to enjoy the learning along the way.
We bought a sailboat without knowing how to sail…and now, we’re sharing 5 things we wished we knew before buying a sailboat and 3 basic sailing lessons that we need to master ASAP!
We Wish We Knew Before Buying a Sailboat
Mastering The Basics
There are a lot of basics. Like a lot.
In this episode, we tackle three basic maneuvers that are critical for safety and for navigation: tacking, jibing, and man overboard.
Yes, we took ASA 101 lessons, but it’s a totally different game when you have your own boat.
And since buying the Catalina 387, we had to relearn how to sail.
It’s like your home floating away in a flood, except you’re the one driving it. And it tilts left and right and fights against you if you push it in the wrong way.
So yeah, learning from a book is one thing.
Learning to manage your emotions and driving your house across the water is another.
Hope you enjoyed these two episodes!
Cheers Friend,
Matt.
