The FRUSTRATING Part of Life Onboard our 38ft Sailing Boat | S2 - EP14
It's been a frustrating week onboard Rúna!
In this episode, we continue our sailing adventure along the Sicilian coast, but progress is slow as day after day we struggle for wind. We push on, growing increasingly frustrated as we end up motoring more than we ever have before!
But Sicily continues to impress, with its stunning coastline, rugged mountain ranges and beautiful anchorages.
And when the wind finally decides to show up, drama unfolds in an anchorage as multiple boats start dragging their anchors, making for a rather eventful afternoon onboard Rúna!
We also take the opportunity to show you our startup routine, how we prepare Rúna before heading out sailing, how we lift the anchor, and how we use our Code 0 to make the most of lighter winds.
Subscribe to follow our journey aboard Rúna as we navigate the challenges of living aboard full-time ❤️
