I grew up sailing the local waters of the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay, where we stood constant watch for other boats, crab pots, and debris in the water. Sometimes it is hard to relax. It is not until you go off the coast that you really come to appreciate the peace and solitude of sailing and the sea. You have time to enjoy your surroundings and mentally record those Moments in Time. Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts. Subscribe and share the adventure!

Sailing Red Seas published a video where their steering cable snapped and Brioni had to tie a knot to make a temporary repair while Iain steered the emergency tiller in a huge storm. It made me think if I was in that situation we might have died because my knot tying skills are terrible...so I decided to make knot tying a priority. Look how competent my bowline is now!
