S2E49 Artha’s first sail!!!! (Dominican Republic)

Just one month and two days after I splashed, Artha was ready for her first sail. It was PERFECT and well worth the sacrifices. The maiden voyage was so special for me, and because I’d done so much to the boat, I felt it was safer and more responsible to go out with @Adventureman_Dan https://youtube.com/@Adventureman_Dan) rather than alone. I was also so incredibly happy and grateful to be able to share this with Daniel, and of course I wanted more than anything to also share it with you. Because I had to focus on getting acquainted with the boat and making sure everything was running smoothly, Daniel graciously did most of the filming for me. I did not have camera mounts set up, and there was too much I had to focus on that I couldn’t devote much attention to the camera. I am so grateful that he could capture this moment for all of us, and that I had the opportunity to take everything in. There was so much going on in my heart. I hope you enjoy coming along with me in this video. I’m excited for many more sails to come! ~~~ *Join the Saiing Artha Tribe:* patreon.com/sailingartha *Help and Support My Journey:* https://www.PayPal.com/NicoleDemetra - 100% of all $ goes to me and Kaijin (select “friends and family”) *Amazon Wishlist* https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/8WR5UAN7O1II?ref_=wl_share *Buy Products I’ve Used and Recommend (affiliate links):* TotalBoat: https://www.totalboat.com/?sca_ref=5783059.MGbwTBHZDa  Coppercoat: use the name “Sailing Artha” for a 10% discount. *Sailing Artha Merch* https://sailing-artha-merch.myspreadshop.com ~~~ 😀 Welcome to Sailing Artha 😀 Hi there, my name is Nicole, and my single-handed journey began in 2022 on a Columbia 26.
