Solo Trial of NEW Spinnaker ….dreaming of leaving E2

I am Grandad Michael, 73, lifetime sailor, wannabe creator for YouTube, retired businessman, practicing yogi, father of 4, grandad of 5, amateur chef, and contented bachelor. I live in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. My sailboat is Vayu, in Sanskrit (remember Im a practicing Yogi) the name stands for wind or life force. Vayu is a 44 ft X-Yacht (X-442) sloop, born 2002 in Denmark. During this first season until the end of 2022, a slow sailing journey from Mallorca Eastward toward Turkey In the first week or two of June we will depart from Palma, to Palermo in Sicily as our first stop. Then on to be determined…… This Episode Two (Ep 2) I try out the solo setting up and sailing of my Code 0 sail and also share with you the lessons from my friend Joan the coffee merchant who has improved my coffee enjoyment imesurably. I continue to make my monthly contributions to Save the Children-Ukrain and dedicating this season to Sailing for Peace. Perhaps if each of us doing just a little bit can help ease the suffering of so many dissplaced Ukrainian families. This Channel , SAILING ADVENTURES WITH GRANDAD , is a celebration of life. Age is no obstacle to living with enthusiasm, ilusión, dreams, curiosity and perspective. This is not a lone journey but one I want to share with friends, family and all who care to come along for the ride.
