#1 | Solo Sailing | Midnight Marina Moves

Sometimes moving the boat is all about timing, things can be SO much easier if you are able to work with the wind and not against it. Before I am able to depart for Iceland I first need to extricate the boat from a very narrow alley way in the marina that is impossible for me to traverse solo with any kind of breeze blowing as I have no bow thruster, no crew to man the fenders, no assisting dinghy and no one take the lines when I dock the boat again- impossible? Well, maybe not if I can find a moment when the breeze is sufficiently light, the tide is low and I can use my smarts to make a hard job easy. When is the bat time for such a move? Turns out the answer is about 3am.
