EP 17 Stuck in Cuxhaven new crew arrives (HD 1080p)

In this episode we are stucked in Cuxhaven due to Anders injury but I do some excursions on bike, take a swim in the North Sea and goes on a Seal Safari. We also plan our next passage with the aid of Predict Wind and in the end reenforcement from Denmark arrives.

We also look at a Yawl trying to apply newly acquired knowledge from one of our favorite Sailing channels Rigging Doctor..but think it’s better to let them explain

This was supposed to be a link but I seam to have done something wrong but I think you can copy the text between the brakets and search then you should come right to it “https://youtu.be/iWysnE-_ESM” They made a whole serie of episodes explaining different types of rigg etc. that we highly recommend.

As usual our cat Litza will pop-up and tell us her opinion now and then.

Unfortunatly there is no sailing in this episode.

We are a middle aged couple that has left our hectic business lives to go sailing with our boat Fridá af Wisby and our cat Litza.

The sailing in our home water the Baltic Sea is part of our preparation to sail to the Mediterranean Sea.

Anders has been at the sea most of his life and sailed for the Swedish national dingy sailing team as a young man. Gitte has also grown up with boat and spent every summer sailing with her father as a teenager but made a pause of about 15 years without sailing as an adult, had just begun to pick-up the interest before she meet Anders a 4 years ago. Onboard we also have our cat Litza a 3 year old Devon Rex we call her the cattain because cats always decide over their humans.

Litza is a Devon Rex cat and she is the real cattain aboard.

Fridá af Wisby is a Wauquiez 47 pilot saloon that we Gitte and Anders bought in UK in 2019 and that we have sailed to Gotland and in season 1 2020 we sail in the Baltic Sea.
