Start a passage with a short-tacking drill | Ep. 190

If the excitement over starting an ocean passage isn't enough for you, start it off with a tricky tacking drill through a narrow harbor entrance. Really gets the blood up, I recommend it. SUPPORT HOW TO SAIL OCEANS ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/user?u=...

Buzzing around Buzzards Bay | Ep. 189

Hadleys Harbor is a wonderful, well sheltered spot. Problem is, there's no place to buy stores. So for that I sail to Padanaram. Now I might just stay on my friend Chris' guest mooring in Padanaram while waiting for weather to jump offshore to the Chesa...
