The anticipation of launching our tiny liveaboard that we just bought in September, but have never sailed yet, is just coming to a head! There have been multiple delays from the marina: first we were told that we could launch as soon as we were ready, which was May 4th weekend. Then we were told that it couldn’t be launched until marina opening which was May 15th. They weren’t ready because they are repairing many of the docks… Long story short (too late!) they attempted to launch us May 21st but couldn’t fit the travel lift between the two boats neighbouring us… Finally, they promised Saturday May 25th 8am… Watch and see what happens this is part 1 of 3 videos 👀 Oh and please hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications so you can follow along on our adventure🙏🏼

Welcome to Navel Gazing at Camp David Shorts. In this fascinating short, we delve into the intricate physics that allows sailboats to seemingly defy the wind by sailing upwind. How is this possible? It's all about understanding the fundamental principles that govern sailing dynamics. From the Bernoulli principle to the concept of apparent wind, we'll break down these complex ideas into easy-to-grasp concepts. Whether you're a sailing aficionado or a curious mind, this short will give you a glimpse into the art and science of sailing. For those of you looking to expand your knowledge, consider reading 'Sailing for Dummies' by J.J. Isler and Peter Isler, Wiley, published in 2017, which provides a beginner-friendly guide to all things sailing. Alternatively, 'The Physics of Sailing Explained' by Bryon D. Anderson, released by Sheridan House in 2023, offers a deeper dive into the scientific aspects that make sailing possible.
