The ULTIMATE Shakedown Sail
February 09, 2025 by PAT | FRANKIE | Language: EN Play Time: 00:32:33 | SAILING YOUTUBERS
This was the moment we had been waiting for—our first real test sail to see if everything was working and if this boat still felt right for us. ⛵️ We sailed to Gran Canaria, anchored for two nights, but the first night brought trouble—our anchor dragged!
The sail back was unforgettable, with shifting conditions, a breathtaking whale sighting, and a big pod of dolphins joining us along the way. Most importantly, this trip led us to a huge decision about our future.
Plus, we answer some of your questions at the end. Don’t miss it! 🐬🌊
