Preparing to SAIL EAST AFRICA! Drifting Ep. 36
Preparing to SAIL EAST AFRICA! This video is about how we prepare our boat for our sailing season up East Africa and the problems we encounter and how we repair or overcome these issues.
Robin services the windless and loses some important parts! We pull down the Genoa to check the halyards and shackles. Robin shares the frustration we have had with our Raymarine course computer and how we managed to get a new one installed and set off for a test sail.
Thanks for watching!
Much love,
Captain Robin, Charlotte, sailor girl Moya and Midnight, our sailing cat!
We love hearing from you. If you have any questions on how we sail, please leave us a comment or send us a message!
