S1, Ep12 A Simple Solution to a Scary Problem
In this episode of Sailing into the Mystic, we experience a heart-pounding moment while sailing in high seas—reminding us just how important preparation and problem-solving are on the water. But it’s not all stress! We also enjoy a breathtaking encounter with dolphins on a fun sail and tackle an essential boat project: replacing the spreader lights.
As a sailing couple preparing for retirement, we share the highs and lows of boat life, from unexpected challenges to magical moments at sea. We are two retiring educators, parents and grandparents, looking to change our fast paced life to a slower rhythm more aligned with the ocean, sailing and nature. Follow us as we prepare our sailboat and ourselves for the next chapter in our lives. Whether you're an experienced sailor, planning your own adventure, or just love watching sailing journeys, this video has something for you.
