Beating upwind from Lahaina to Honolua
Sailing again after a short break on the mainland. Weighing anchor in the tight harbor was a bit of a challenge but I got out alright. I sail through some light winds when suddenly the wind flips 180° and strengthens. I make it safely to Honolua bay after beating to windward for several hours. I start to plan my trip to Oahu. Im trying out a longer video format, let me know if it’s better or worse.
