"First time I sailed was the sea trial for the sailboat I bought." Cool. Sometimes you just have to jump and believe in the benevolence of the universe. Fair winds. By the way, I just saw this video popup in my list of recommended videos. I watch a lot of sailing videos. It was a good one. Appreciate the tip on TIP. : )
When your a couple sailing, you may be the captain. But the wife still makes the decisions. It’s a mutiny that happened long ago before sailing and just never got fixed 😂
I know this is a complete newb question, specifically how is ocean sailing different from the conditions where you did your learning? What surprised you about the ocean? I've really enjoyed watching your journey 😊
I can’t speak for Colby, but for me it was the waves. Really the whole seastate. In Washington we had calm most of the time. No matter where you anchored it was always calm. Even sailing it was like lake sailing all the time really. We didn’t have big ocean rollers or confused waves like we experienced in open ocean. The wind being gone but the waves still being there and not knowing which way they’re going.
Really good honest, educational video.
Thank you, we try to be honest. Sailing/cruising is worth it in our opinion, but there is still a lot of “crap” (sometimes literally) that happens 😂
Thank you, very useful information for us heading down to Mexico later this year.
Soak up any information you can get is always the best plan. I’m glad we had useful info for you!!! Hope we see you down there next season!!!
@@fairwindsemptyroads I hope so

Sometimes it just works out and I’m really glad this one did for sure! Thanks for giving it a watch we really appreciate it!
You know you are a good captain because there was no mutiny 😅
