I had to depart from my alongside dock in Palaia Epidaurus Greece and my friend Nikos was alongside to me with anchor ⚓ and stern lines. Instead of getting his boat out we decided to open his bow and let Oceania go through. All the other sailors wasn't sure about that maneuver but since Nikos was very experienced we knew exactly what to do and we did it! Slack starboard stern line, drop chain, forward to port stern line and with a little help from the bow thruster we open just enough so the crossing wind wasn't about to push OCEANIA to the boat behind us and SUCCESS!! Good seamanship means to care more about others in the sea than you care about your self!

Two months ago, we pulled and began Prepping our Mast For our Sailboat! What a project. Prepping a Mast for a Sailboat, entails a ton of things. Here is a short video about a few of the things we have done. We are two days away from stepping it--or putting it back in! We are a new sailing couple and love having you on the journey with us. If you dig what you are seeing, join us on our blog at: https://www.gypseaexplorer.com/ Or, check out another sailboat video at: https://youtube.com/shorts/OyJKCfuIQL8?si=MV3Hk0J0okxj7dFO Cheers!
