Learning how to sail a sailboat (on our Catalina 22)
Ep. 11 ~ Our first time going out sailing solo. Because if the large amount of footage we had on video, I have cut episode 11 into 2 parts. Part one involves preparing to leave at the marina and starting to put the sails up. Part two involves sails up and learning how to read the wind and trim our sails. We play around with Lowrance a bit and also use our Navionics App to make sure we don't run aground.
