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

Sailing is fun, they say! Hehe and of course it is! But someone’s gotta clean up the mess afterwards, and I guess that’s me lol #crewlife What type of sailor are you? Do you tidy up the lines and stow them away while sailing, or are you like me and clean up afterwards? (To be fair though, I do organize and stow away my lines on longer passages but when it’s only a short sail I don’t bother until I reach the next anchorage). Curious about your go to strategy here! 😉 . #sailing #liveaboard #lazy #messy #cleanup #satisfying #beforeandafter #boatlife #sailorgirl #oceanlife #lines #boating #cruising #funny #viral #trending #reels #sailor

TRAILER From Sailing Quarterly: Seamanship Vol. 1 Bill Biewenga explains how to gather weather information using your eyes, your boat's instruments and hi seas radio broadcasts. Learn from the clouds, the sea state around you, and changing patterns you observe. Refer to your instruments on board and gather information from outside sources. Then put the information together to see what might be headed your way and decide how best to route your boat.
