Almost 3 months without taking our sailing boat out for a sail… way way too long!
Now what happened for us not being out. First, it was busy times at work for Fred with Christmas and New Year at the restaurant. He got really tired.
Second, every time we hoped to sail out the weather was not in our favour.
Thirdly, I had to fly to Germany with my little boy to visit family, and stayed there for 10 days.
And then finally, all this Corona virus took off and we lost our jobs. Restaurants closed down and since we were more concerned on how we were going to cope financially before thinking on sailing.
I guess now that we have all this time on our hand, the best isolation is out on our boat.
However we were concerned about the rules regarding confinement and if we were at all allowed to go out sailing.
We found out that the rules were sailing being considered an exercise and the ones who knows about sailing would tell you YES it is taking a lot of you between balancing on the boat when heeling and pulling sheets and tacking and recovering from things going wrong… hahaha
So we went out for the day. YAY!
From a calm morning to a rough afternoon and jammed headsail… we had a good session and it was definitely a good training, showing us that we needed more practice.
It also tells me again, that we love this and need more of this. So we’ll be back soon on our boat, for now here is a little video of our boat and day put. Enjoy!
