SDA63 What's Wrong with our New Main Sail?
We cruise up the Florida coast with a stop at Marineland Marina for dinner with friends, and to close the loop on our starting point as cruisers. Then we grab a mooring ball in St Augustine to finally install our long awaited Precision Sails main sail. With superbroker Ian helping us we install the sail, and with Ian and Marissa’s help, we pack it back up. What went wrong?

Sailing Dark Angel
We're Lisa & Dave. We love to travel anywhere warm and friendly, to explore, meet new people, see new places, and share what we see. Sailing Dark Angel is our unscripted tale of learning a whole new life. Freedom and adventure on the water, living an alternative lifestyle. We decided our YouTube channel would reflect the new experiences and discoveries we make. We don't have a ton of experience for 'how-to' videos and the only advice we offer is to get out and live life. Don't wait for it to come to you. We hope to inspire people the way we've been inspired. Join us aboard Dark Angel, our beautiful 2006 Island Spirit Fortuna 401 catamaran. Share our dreams and adventures with us
