SailAway 16 | Offshore Sailboat Race to Bohicket | Sailboat Living Sailing Vlog

Dicey spinnaker flying in a coastal race from Charleston!! In this week's episode of sailboat living with SailAway...We're back!!! After a several week video hiatus due to some minor life details in preparation for sailing the bahamas - like selling our house, taking some separate travel time, and prepping to sail south to Florida (we'll cover all that in a few episodes), we bring you Part One of the Alice Cup Race from Charleston, SC out into the Atlantic Ocean, and down the coast to Bohicket Marina, SC, an all-day race followed by a second race back to Chucktown the following day. This is one of two such races run yearly as part of the Charleston Ocean Racing Association's Ocean series and always our favorite. Racing as a sailing family with a baby and a dog has *possibly* taken the edge off of our competitive nature, but it hasn't killed our desire to get out there and mix it up. :-) We even decide to race in the spinnaker class even though very short-handed...and using a spinnaker sock...which led to some pretty interesting sail changes. But with great wind, rolling seas, and a beautiful sailboat girl at the helm, there wasn't much to complain about. Definitely a good part of sailboat living! Be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT!
