In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, I am sailing solo back to my home port in Kingston. I will show you what it takes to sail solo when the direction you need to go is dead into the wind. This requires you to sail "close hauled" (as close as your boat will sail into the wind) and when ...
Sailing Solo. What to consider when alone. Weather and wind rarely match forecast. Ep137
