Nasty Surprises: First Sail Offshore for Parents on Maiden Voyage | Grenada, Sailing Tradewinds
Our maiden voyage does not go according to plan. We explore Grenada and finally sail my new (old) boat for the first time, making our way from Grenada to Carricou. However, a loose fishing line causes major problems down the line, breaking a crucial seal.

    Good on ya. I did it a different way. Got my Captain's license and became a 1st Mate on many vessels doing deliveries from Grenada to Panama, the Bahamas, PR and USVI. Got paid and walked off the boat at the end of the delivery with not a nickel in it.

    Call the coast guard because your motor broke on your (sail) boat in fine weather. Where did sailor self sufficiency go. How many countless crossings where made without engines? Many cruise full time engineless. Have some faith in your boat, and yourself, for gods sakes man. Love and fair winds
