Sailing Goat Series: Gangway Upgrade, Wind Storm Survival & Bavaria Shortcomings | Episode 44

In Episode 44 of the Sailing Goat Series, we take on the long-overdue task of upgrading our gangway. The old one was a disaster waiting to happen, and swapping it for an inflatable gangway has been a game-changer. Honestly, I can’t believe we didn’t make this upgrade sooner! But life aboard isn’t all smooth sailing—another wind storm hits, though thankfully, our new berthing spot proves to be much safer than the old one. A quick visit to check on our friends’ boat reveals the chaos we’ve left behind, with boats swinging wildly and some even hitting the dock. And, as if we needed more surprises, we uncover yet another shortcoming of our Bavaria. Join us for a week of upgrades, weather challenges, and lessons learned! 🔧 Gangway Upgrade: Finally, we replace our dangerously unstable gangway with a much safer inflatable one. This simple yet effective upgrade transforms our boarding experience—something we wish we’d done ages ago! 🌬️ Wind Storm Survival: Another wind storm rolls in, but our new berthing spot handles the conditions like a champ. Meanwhile, a trip to our old pier shows the chaos we left behind, with boats struggling to stay secure and even colliding with the dock. 🛥️ Bavaria Boat Issues: As we continue living aboard, we uncover yet another shortcoming of our Bavaria. It’s all part of the adventure as we learn to adapt and make improvements where needed. 💬 Share Your Upgrades & Challenges: Have you tackled an overdue upgrade or experienced wild weather while berthed?
