I Almost Hit the Rocks - First Sail After Having a Baby
https://sailingmisslonestar.com
After months away from my sailboat to have my baby, today I’m finally taking her back out to sea… and things get real very fast. This is my first sail after having a baby, and I’m more out of practice than I expected. While leaving the marina for our first offshore passage, I make one mistake that nearly sends my classic ketch straight into the rocks.
In this episode, I share what it feels like to return to sailing as a new mom, how quickly your instincts can fade, and why even experienced sailors can struggle after time away. If you’re preparing for long-term cruising, learning to sail, or getting back into boating after a break, this is a raw look at the challenges we don’t talk about enough.
🌊 What’s inside this video:
– Leaving the dock after months away
– First offshore sail with my baby on board
– What happens when you’re out of practice at the helm
– How I almost hit the rocks
– Lessons for new sailors and returning cruisers
– Life aboard our 51’ classic Formosa ketch
Whether you’re dreaming of sailing around the world, a new mom learning to balance adventure and family, or just love honest sailing stories, this episode shows the real side of life at sea.
