Lapwing is an L34 that sails out of Cape Town and is owned by Angela Collins. on our shake down sail we were surprised by the shackle that secures the boom suddenly bursting open and falling off leaving the boom swinging. Luckily we had only a light breeze. Then to our disappointment the foresail would not go up the tracks on the forestay. That will have to be fixed. The winches are not working well but that could be caused by old stiff lines that are sliding instead of gripping. #sailing #lifeisbutadream

We're Nick and Terysa and we’ve become completely obsessed with the idea of sailing around the world and sharing our experiences and information through our sailing lifestyle videos with others. We met travelling around India, and quickly agreed that rather than “settling down” and doing what most normal people do, we wanted to travel and have adventures! We moved onto our 38 foot monohull in 2014, sailed across the Atlantic twice, cruised the Caribbean, Bahamas and Europe, before buying a brand new 45 ft catamaran! We hope you enjoy what we do.

Speaking of dumb things I've done on a sailboat, let's revisit the time the Aruba Coast Guard stayed with us until three in the morning to help me get my sail under control... 📗 Get My Book: https://bethecaptain.com
