#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.

🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [26/52] 🪢 Are you team upwind or team downwind? Linnea was our first boat with a furling headsail and the natural way for us was to head upwind. It was always a hard job, and Marcus was the only one with enough strength to be able to furl it in even though we only had a small self-tacking jib. But then we got this advice and it was a game changer! The idea seems pretty obvious now, but we had just never considered it! Now handling the furler is an easy job, that we both can manage. Hope this will be of use for your boatlife too 🫶🏼 Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friend who needs to see this to get inspired to create their own adventure 🫶🏼

Sailing during the winter in the Mediterranean Sea is truly a remarkable experience. The sea is heavy, and the breeze is just the right amount to make you feel alive. But it's a time when you can truly disconnect from the world and connect with nature. Being out on the water can be a humbling experience. It reminds us that we are just a small part of this vast universe. The water, the wind, and the sky all work together in harmony to create this stunning scenery that we get to witness. It's a reminder that we should take care of our planet and the environment we live in. Sailing is not just a hobby; it's a way of life. It teaches us to be patient, to work together, and to appreciate the little things in life. It's a sport that connects people from all walks of life and brings them together to share their passion. So next time you're feeling stressed or overwhelmed, take some time off and go sailing. Let the sea heal your soul and rejuvenate your spirit. You won't regret it. ………….. Naviguer en hiver en Méditerranée est une expérience hors du temps. La mer est forte et la brise vous permet de vous sentir vivant. N’est-ce pas l’idéal pour véritablement se déconnecter du monde et se connecter avec la nature ? Être sur l’eau peut être une expérience qui nous rappelle que nous ne sommes qu'une petite partie d’un vaste univers. L’eau, le vent et le ciel créent des paysages époustouflants qui nous rappelle de prendre soin de notre planète et de l'environnement dans lequel nous vivons et accomplissons nos passions. La voile n'est pas seulement un passe-temps ; c'est une manière de vivre. Cela nous apprend à être patients, à travailler ensemble et à apprécier chaque moment de la vie. C'est un sport qui connecte des gens de tous horizons et les rassemble pour partager leur passion commune. Alors la prochaine fois que vous vous sentirez stressé ou dépassé, prenez un peu de temps et partez naviguer. Laissez la mer prendre soin de votre âme et revigorer votre esprit. Vous ne le regretterez pas. #windelo #windelo50 #windelo54 #sailing #NewWindelo50 #windelo54 #windelocatamaran #windelospotting #windeloadventure #sailingadventure #sailingdream

De paseo por San Juan, Puerto Rico🇵🇷 La isla del encanto, para muchos, uno de los mejores destinos caribeños, fue nuestro ÚLTIMO DESTINO antes de hacer la travesía rumbo a Venezuela y a las Antillas Neerlandesas, para poder REFUGIARNOS en la época de HURACANES🌀 Como curiosidad: a los de allí, se les llama Boricuas, también conocidos como Borinqueños o Borincanos. En comentarios, menciona a las personas con quién vendrías a visitar esta isla. Te leemos🤪🏝️ . . . #sail #sailing #sailing_lasonambula #velero #catamaran #sailboat #paradise #caribe #carib #sanjuan #fajardo #navegaravela #navegarporelmundo #travel #sailingaroundtheworld #callejeando #callejeandopr #discoverpuertorico #catedral #boricua #playasnorkeling #puertorico #tiratepr #pureadventurepr #eeuu🇺🇸 #puertoricotravel #puertoricotourism #paradiseawaits #oldsanjuan #oldsanjuanpuertorico
