Managing the Tricky Bit EP 108 #sailing #boatlife
The end of a sailing season is never easy—especially when the wind wants the last word. In this episode, we wrestle our mainsail down in gusty, heavy winds before maneuvering our Outremer 52 into a tight marina for haul-out at a ramp, which is a first for us at Varadero Marina. With crosswinds, tight turns, and nerves running high, we learned a bunch of new things!
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to sail and manage a catamaran in heavy wind, this video shows the raw side of cruising life.

Or, you can follow every stop we’ve made with pictures, blogs and stream our podcast directly on www.sailingAWEN.com.
