#shorts Off grid living requires attention to detail. If a towing line breaks it could mean losing a very valuable piece of equipment for those living aboard a boat. Knowing a few basic knots turned a potential headache into a minor fix. Also, setting up a redundant system saved me from having to buy a new dinghy! My advice is ALWAYS have backup lines if you tow your dinghy. Also, I should have put in abrasion guards of some sort but I didn't! Off grid living requires planning ahead. This was a clear example of just how important that is.

?? Jérémie vient de passer une nuit éprouvante. La mer est agitée et croisée, et le vent très instable. Le skipper ne sait pas comment régler sa voilure : le bateau, tantôt presque à l'arrêt, accélère soudainement jusqu'à près de 30 n?uds avant de s'enfoncer brutalement dans l'eau. Jérémie, qui pensait avoir choisi la bonne option, se retrouve finalement dans une situation délicate. ?? Jérémie just had a challenging night. The sea is rough and choppy, and the wind highly unstable. The skipper doesn't know how to adjust the sails: the boat alternates between nearly coming to a stop and suddenly surfing at close to 30 knots before plunging into the water. Jérémie, who thought he had made the right choice, now finds himself in a tricky situation. ------------------------ ?? SUIVEZ-NOUS ! // FOLLOW US ! ? Website : www.vendeeglobe.org ?
