We Ran Over A Crab Trap!!Forced To Go For A Swim 20 Miles Offshore Vlog#4

***DISCLAIMER COUPLE OF F BOMBS IN THIS EPISODE*** Vlog#4 We leave La Push for a short run down to Grays Harbour. Along the way we experienced a strong headwind and ended up ripping our sail.  We had to tack offshore farther out that we ever have before, which made us miss the bar crossing and we had to spend the night out at sea. In the middle of the night our autopilot could not maintain course any longer and we figured out why... were dragging a crab pot!   In rough seas and pure darkness in the middle of the night we managed to get free of the trap but we had to wait until daylight to try to remove the buoy that was jammed in and around out propeller.   Once the sun came up Trav unwillingly jumped into the water and surprisingly got it cut free on his first breath down.  It was definitely scary, the waves were huge and we didn't want to have any shark experiences!! Once we got cut free we were able to get along on our way.  Thankfully this all happened quickly because we made it into Grays harbour bar right before the tide switched.  If we would have taken any longer we would have had to wait another 12 hours out at sea to make it across the bar into the harbour. ---------------------------------  Instagram- @Sailingdecorum --------------------------------- --------------------------------- *WHO ARE WE?* •We are a Canadian couple, Travis and Jessica.
