Here we are rigging a reef line while underway. We had swapped the laminate main sail out for the Dacron main sail before leaving the dock, because it was quite windy and the Dacron sail is more robust. But we didn't rig the second reef line properly and had to pull it out in order to raise the sail. So here we are sailing under the first reef, while I climbed onto the boom to re-rig the second reef. I’m wearing a climbing harness attached to the spinnaker halyard for safety.

When the schedule says “go,” the weather says “maybe,” and the boat says “not today.” Behind every smooth ride is a lot of problem-solving you don’t see 👀⚓ Here’s the real talk about making it happen.

Sailing from Vrboska to Stari Grad Up to 37 Knots and unforgettable moments for guests! Are you ready to join us as we navigate the high winds, enjoy the still waters, share incredible stories, and experience the excitement of the open sea. =========================== Transcript Hi everyone. Nick here. We've had an amazing day in Croatia in Hvar. Today we have sailed from Vrboska. Yes there was a massive forecast of Bura. Northeast 20 to 30 to 40 knots. There has been a lot of wind around for sure but we decided that screw it. We're just going to go we may not get into Stari Grad but we need to sail. I'm not going to sit at the dock all day. So we went out we got hit by 37/38 knots which was absolutely amazing um and then it all kind of just petered out and we sailed through it. Then it picked up and then petered out. So it was very gusty. Very on and off. We now did get to Stari Grad. We managed to get into this spot just here. There's been a bunch of reports around from a lot of the other Skippers. One boat at Lombarda actually ran aground. That's this shot here. They really looked in a bit of a trouble. There's been other reports of 50, up to 50 knots at Markarska and down on the peninsula by Pelješacs as well. So look it's been a hell of a day but we're now here at Stari Grad. We're going to go to Hora Farm but it's been great. =========================== Looking to sail in Croatia?
