Taking our sailboat (on our Catalina 22) to the marina
Ep. 10 ~ Our first water trip from the boat launch to our very own slip at the Safe Harbor Skull Creek Marina. We play around with Lowrance a bit, then move over to our Navionics App once we figure out we can't figure out the Lowrance. We learn a bit about navigation, put the jib up, almost fall in the water, park the boat, learn how to tie dock lines and go home sun burned and exhausted.
