In December I crossed the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Barbados on a friends Lagoon 380. For the first 2000 miles or so we had calms or very light winds and so fellow crew member Erick could fly his drone. After a while you don't notice the swells when on board, it's just a gentle rocking motion. Even when the wind picked up there were none of the "mountainous seas" beloved by the media!

Watching a wooden boat caught overpowered in a gale with full sails up. The mast bends under the massive pressure until it finally gives way. If you go offshore, you will eventually be overpowered—the key is learning to get those sails down safely before disaster strikes. #sailing #sailboat #offshore #woodenboat #sailinglife #heavyweather #seamanship #boatlife #sailingtruth

Don’t make the classic mistake getting onto a boat when using a passarelle (gang plank). Share this with your crew before they join you on your sailing vacation with NauticEd
