Sailing to Belfast, Tugboat nearly ruins our arrival!

We are heading back to Belfast, but this isn't just another sailing trip. Today is deeply personal. After four years of silence, I’m finally heading toward a long-awaited conversation to set things right and fix what was broken. But as every sailor knows, the sea has its own plans. Our approach to Belfast gets intense when a massive tugboat overtakes us at high speed, creating a dangerous wake that really puts Marisa and the crew to the test. Should there be stricter maritime regulations for commercial vessels in narrow channels? Let me know your thoughts in the comments! Join us for this journey of emotional closures, technical docking maneuvers, and the beauty of the Northern Irish coast.
