My First Docking Practice for a Solo World Sail. And the Throttle Fails - Ep 17 [EN]

🌊 Join me, Jacqueline Evers, on my epic journey around the world aboard my 27-foot Grinde, Loveworkx. In this video, I look back at the very beginning of my solo circumnavigation preparations. It’s a raw and honest glimpse into the early days of preparing for a solo world voyage. This is the moment where theory meets reality. For the first time, I practice docking on my own—no crew, no safety net. What should be a simple exercise quickly turns into a lesson in presence and trust when I suddenly run into problems with the throttle. ⚓ These moments shaped not only my sailing skills, but also the inner foundation I needed for what was to come. 👉 In the next video, I leave the harbor and sail 11 nautical miles hard on the wind toward Enkhuizen. No shortcuts, no comfort—just me, Loveworkx, and the elements. Will everything work as planned? 💙 Love my videos?
