When heaving to goes wrong! Sailing Bohemia Ep.131

Uh-oh, looks like somebody needs to take some sailing lessons! We departed on our upwind slog to Panama's San Blas Islands, when the Captain noticed something wasn't right with the rigging: Our mast was pumping back and fourth like crazy as we slammed into the heavy swell! We decided to reach for the pause button and heave to, which would allow us to put some more tension in the baby stay, but quickly learned that sailing basics were as loose as the rigging! :-) If you like our videos and want to support Bohemia's bar tab, you can make a contribution at http://www.patreon.com/sailingbohemia. Peter and Tom are gay sailors who learned to sail relatively recently in the San Francisco Bay, before casting off the lines to cruise Mexico and sail around the world! Thank you!
