Scared into learning a necessary sailor skill...name that knot! #boatlife #nautitech #sailingroam
Sailing Red Seas published a video where their steering cable snapped and Brioni had to tie a knot to make a temporary repair while Iain steered the emergency tiller in a huge storm. It made me think if I was in that situation we might have died because my knot tying skills are terrible...so I decided to make knot tying a priority. Look how competent my bowline is now!
Sailing Roam
👋 Hi, we’re Geri 👩🏻⚕️(a retired nurse) and Shawn 🤓 (a not retired technologist). We’ve gone on the greatest adventure of our lives instead of living the comfortable and predictable suburban world we left behind. Living aboard Roam, our cruising catamaran, we explore and immerse ourselves in new cultures, do boat repairs in exotic places, and get up to all kinds of shenanigans. Roam isn’t just the name of our boat, it’s kind of a philosophy. We’re not taking the shortest routes or using a formula to sail around the world. We’re not in a hurry either. We’re meeting the people, seeing the places and getting distracted by things we find interesting along the way. We’re unconventional and we’re living the best life we can imagine! Join us as we turn our 11-year old catamaran into our perfect adventure platform and see what’s over the next horizon. We can’t wait to meet you wherever you are!
