An Interesting Situation While Sailing EP 118

In this episode of Sailing AWEN, we explore more of San Blas Islands, take you underwater, in the jungle and deal with an interesting and unexpected situation while sailing with a jammed furler! Then, we completely fail the 15 second liferaft test! While sailing full-time and living aboard our catamaran, you have to be on your toes every moment. We’re sailing full-time aboard AWEN, our Outremer 52 performance catamaran, continuing our bluewater sailing journey. From offshore passages and ocean sailing to the quieter, human moments that make life afloat so meaningful, we share the real highs, challenges, and surprises of liveaboard catamaran life. ⛵ IN THIS EPISODE •⁠ ⁠We take you underwater to see all the coral and sea life, we even find some seahorses! •⁠ We try to unjam our furling drum while headed toward a bank of islands with squalls all around us •⁠ We fail a 15 second liferaft test •⁠ ⁠We are reminded why we do this with friends and other sailors •⁠ We continue to prepare for our long passage season If you’re dreaming about sailing around the world, living aboard a catamaran, planning an ocean crossing, or transitioning to a simpler life of travel and adventure, we hope this episode resonates with you. 🔔 Subscribe to Sailing AWEN for real offshore sailing, catamaran life, ocean passages, and the lessons we’re learning along the way: 👉 https://www.youtube.com/@SailingAWEN 🌊 ABOUT SAILING AWEN We’re Holly and Stéphane — former Silicon Valley software professionals who left traditional careers behind to sail full-time.
