GROUNDED SAILBOAT: How I beached my sailboat on purpose - UNTIE THE LINES IV #51

Upsi, my sailboat is sitting aground on a sandbank in a river. But no worries, I did this on purpose...to clean my hull. My sailboat has one speciality: TWIN KEELS. This enables me to dryfall with my boat in tidal water bodies to inspect my hull, to clean it and to do some repairs without having to spend a lot of money for a haul out. Once Karl's butt was nice and clean again, Maria and I took off on a coastal sail some 20nm down south to Jaramijo. On the way there, we traweld for micro plastic and found 13 plastic items, 8 of them being micro plastic, during a trawl of half an hour. We wanted to see how much trash we would find if we "trawled" on the beach in a straight line for the same amount of time. We only picked up what was in the reach of our arms and collected 248 items in half an hour. If you would like to help us fight plastic pollution, here are five easy way to reduce single use plastic in your daily life: 1. bring your own reusable shopping bags 2. use a reusable water bottle 3. say no to plastic straws 4. carry a reusable coffee mug 5. use reusable containers to store / transport food Thank you for being IN MOCEAN for clean oceans.
