Managing the Tricky Bit EP 108 #sailing #boatlife

The end of a sailing season is never easy—especially when the wind wants the last word. In this episode, we wrestle our mainsail down in gusty, heavy winds before maneuvering our Outremer 52 into a tight marina for haul-out at a ramp, which is a first for us at Varadero Marina. With crosswinds, tight turns, and nerves running high, we learned a bunch of new things! If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to sail and manage a catamaran in heavy wind, this video shows the raw side of cruising life. ✅ Recommended Playlists 📍BING FROM THE BEGINNING: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlCuYqC6mdr9vxmC9FByg6y1TDooOM6q4 👉 FULL PASSAGE SERIES: All Together Maiden Voyage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCR2uNbN4MQ&list=PLlCuYqC6mdr-Tr76hJxp4SmguTTGR_S31&pp=iAQB 👉 SEASON 2024 Bahamas & the Caribbean https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlCuYqC6mdr96cBPcaKTzgYs2u5I8Xz22&si=FI5GeJ8w1HcUGBpk 🔗 Stay Connected With Us. 👉Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/SailingAwen?_rdc=1&_rdr 👉Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sailingawen/ 👉Website: https://www.sailingawen.com/ ✅ For Inquiries: Sailingawen@gmail.com 🎧COVERTCASTAWAY PODCAST anywhere you listen or stream directly at https://sailingawen.com/podcast OR search COVERTCASTAWAY anywhere you listen. ✅ Recommended Playlists 👉 FULL PASSAGE SERIES: All Together Maiden Voyage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCR2uNbN4MQ&list=PLlCuYqC6mdr-Tr76hJxp4SmguTTGR_S31&pp=iAQB 👉 SEASON 2024 Bahamas & the Caribbean https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlCuYqC6mdr96cBPcaKTzgYs2u5I8Xz22&si=FI5GeJ8w1HcUGBpk ✅ Other Videos You Might Be Interested In Watching: 👉 Mending our Broken Heart (EP 53) #sailing #Bahamas https://youtu.be/tm8lEuFEpvo?si=qCnNPY7yMR6Vcbhz 👉 T-Boned at Anchor (EP 52) #sailing #outremer https://youtu.be/OUYQLHjPlYY?si=1JREIYGhPoyfhYej 👉 Nick of Time (EP 63) Leg 3 Day 10 #outremer52 #miami https://youtu.be/IDK_7eVxg3U?si=TNq1DibA5GEpx6Jq 👉 Galloping to the End (EP 62) Leg 3 Day 9 #atlanticcrossing #sailingpassion https://youtu.be/1g8uZlEC71Q?si=chcmESWW6tqrEsz5 🔔 Subscribe now and join us on this life-changing circumnavigation adventure: https://www.youtube.com/@SailingAWEN/?sub_confirmation=1 🎶 Music by Epidemic Sound ✅ About Sailing AWEN We’re Holly & Stephane—former software professionals from San Francisco who traded Silicon Valley for the sea.
