Don't worry that things didn't go as planned. You learned something about anchoring out so it was a plus. In time, water lapping against the hull will be soothing and comforting as you gain experience.
Docking can be the most challenging part of cruising. No major injuries to people or damage to property? I’d put that in the win category. Your grandmother is very sweet. How nice of her to support you on your adventure.
We are definitely learning to take wins as they come, this was more tough emotionally rather than in damage - it accentuated how new we were to boating... BUT things are much better now and this has given us a lot of drive to learn more and do better next time! Nanny truly is very sweet - here is a tidbit, she has a piano and anytime we have the holiday's at her house she plays from ear different holiday carols. Cheers 🍻
I hope so... Even now we keep a record of all our positive experiences because the negative ones have such a bigger impact. Each day on this maiden voyage had a huge share of firsts... honestly they only started slowing down after our first whole month on the water 😅 However the majority of the firsts were great experiences, unlike today's video!

Good morning
Nanny looks like a sweetheart
She most definitely is, thanks Brad 😁
I had a Mimi. She was just the same.
Great job. So nice of your Grandmother to bring a beautiful treat.
We’re lucky!
Random comment: Nice music selection!
Thanks!

You'll get better!! So many firsts. You don't get good at something without making mistakes at first.

So cute seeing you reunited with your doggo!
Yes! We're so happy to be reunited with her. The dogs in your town in India look so cute too!!
That cake looked so good 😋 hopefully it turned the day around! 🍰
It really did! Nanny lifted our spirits for sure...
Awesome job guys, good to see the ET still runs 🛳 Can't wait to see Round 2 of docking 🙌 Also, love the cake warming party 🎂
Round two wasn't much better than round one 😂 buut the ET still runs 😂
Single diesel, no bow thruster? Sounds challenging!
We do have a bow thruster! Makes our lives easier for sure, still a lot to learn to use it correctly…
