Giorno 26 - EGADI Il ritorno dal paese, dopo cena, è stato tosto. Il motore del gommone ha deciso di abbandonarci a circa 2/3 miglia dall’arrivo e controvento. Quella sensazione da “siamo esausti, ma se ci fermiamo adesso perderemo tutta la strada fatta finora e verremo sospinti verso il mare aperto”. Un’ora di vita in cui cambiano le tue priorità in modo del tutto repentino. Mi rimarrà la cena sullo stomaco? E chi ci pensa più, quando smettere di remare equivale a dire perdersi nel mare nero? Il vento rinforza, le braccia bruciano, gli schizzi bagnano i vestiti. Ci si incita, poi si cerca di capire se stiamo guadagnando terreno o se siamo sempre fermi nello stesso punto. Poi lo sconforto. Stiamo arretrando? Gli scogli sono più lontani? Che stanchezza. Come possiamo remare con maggiore forza? Tutto è bene quel che finisce bene, perché alla fine il dream team ha vinto la resistenza del vento e siamo tornati sani e salvi in barca. Adesso ci aspetta una bella dormita, perché alle 6 di domattina andremo verso la marina di Marsala per una sosta tecnica di lavori. A domani! C.

Competent Crew Course details: ➜ https://www.firstclasssailing.com/rya-courses/competent-crew In this clip from our RYA Competent Crew course, you can see how we unfurl the headsail. The headsail is the forward most sail, also called a genoa. In harbour, when not being used it is rolled up like a giant sausage around the ‘forestay’ which is a wire that helps to hold the mast up. Unfurling the headsail is where you unroll and open it up so you can use it to sail with. As part of the Competent Crew Course you will learn how to unfurl and furl the sail. ** About the RYA Competent Crew course in Southampton ** The RYA Competent Crew course is the perfect introduction for beginners who want to get into sailing and is specifically designed for those with little to no sailing experience.

Where should we go or what should we try next? We've been in Trinidad a while but hadn't tried a huge selection of local food, so when a Trini friend invited us to go to the Queen's Park Savannah Food Strip in Port of Spain of course we said yes! It was a fun way to try a huge selection of dishes, including Goat Geera, Chicken Roti, Pig Tails and Pie. I couldn't believe we hadn't heard of it before but as a visitor it made for a good night out 😊 https://www.travelsketchsailing.com/ ☝Check out the website for more info on us, the places we go and products we use 📷 After backpacking Asia, road tripping Europe and doing a bit of van life, we’re now exploring the world aboard our Leopard 45 catamaran. 🎶 Music from Artlist ➼ Get yourself 2 months free with a subscription https://artlist.io/Telicia-1577425 #sailing #travelvlog #digitalnomad #LifeStyle #travel #localfood #trinidadandtobago
