How To Solo Sail and Run Aground

- In this episode I get settled into Dagny's new slip at Oyster Point Marina in San Francisco Bay. Many sailboat life projects got ticked off the list including climbing the mast and running aground a little. Hey, if you're going to run aground, this is the way it's done. The video wraps up with a quick lesson on how to solo sail... when you have someone to hold the camera.

edward... you did everything perfectly.... even the mistakes.... keep making them as they are the onky way to learn. looking forward to having you back on the water... your friend from Vancouver
Thanks buddy. Just got back to the boat. It's been raining cats and dogs but I hope to be out sailing soon.
@@EdwardSeaton still a bit cold (and rainy) up here but hoping to get out soon.
Having a new location to enjoy and explore is so cool!
Agreed 👍 just got back.
Love your new slip, and you get to call it home
Thank you!
Been living on my Columbia 32 for years now. $500 mo cheap near Philly. Lost everything during Covid (House, Business, Wife, literally everything), just as my life as a homeless 55 yo was starting I found my boat. Sure, its lonely, but I'm in a good place despite the craziness of the country falling apart around me. I found peace living in the boat. Sailing is now all I think about. I know how scary it all is but it all seems worth it. At least so far. Good Fren! Look forward to seeing you out there. It's worth it
Thanks for the encouraging words! I find peace with the boat life too.
You are back, great!Keep going!
Brick by brick!
Hello, I do like your channel. I am not a regular sailor and only completed ASA 101 with a couple of extra hours. I am always thinking about the dream of being a liveaboard....... Good you have stepped out and are doing........................Happy for you!
Thank you so much! I am really loving it.
ok want to chip in on the unwanted tip list: if you are really solo sailing a safety harness and jacklines are much more important than a life vest, the thing is - if you ever fall in it will be when the waves are high and the wind is strong. The only thing a life vest will do in those circumstances are to prolong your drowning. Stay attached to the boat :) - I just love your attitude and hope you don't mind some ribbing. Best regards from Sweden waiting impatiently for spring.
That is very good advice! I'm making all this up as I go along so there's bound to be a little ribbing. I appreciate your positive attitude 🙂 thanks
Welcome to the neighborhood. I don’t know if new buildings to west will affect wind patterns but historically winds howl through Oyster Point. I was there during construction and the dust drove me out to Brisbane Marina where there is more wind protection on the northern docks.
Looked into Brisbane, but it was more expensive, and they required a survey where at oyster point they just wanted to know if she'd float 😁😆😅 I'd like to check out Brisbane though. Heard there were lots of single ladies there!
My slip fee in North Carolina is around $325-$350 depending on how much electricity I use. I'm a livaboard. Where the hell else can you live for that little rent? Plus on the water. I love it.
Indeed! Certainly the cheapest rent in San Francisco. But shhhh. Don't tell anyone 😉
I feel I am letting you down by not complaining about your sailing skills. You should go back and watch your early attempts. You have improved both with regard to technique and safety. Fair winds.
😂😂😂 Don't let me down!
Ive ran aground once.. felt a rock in a marina when i went to close to the breaking wall at low tide.. it was at 3 knots so im not to worried but i dont wanne do it again :D
It was a sickening moment for sure, but probably just scrapped the ablative paint off.
Ed, I hope you had some other fail-safe attachment and weren't only relying on just the line hauling you up the mast?! If not, don't you ever do that again! I'm hoping to get up my mast (for the first time) this summer - but my climber son is giving me advice about safe ascending.
Yeah. We had another line as back up :)
@@EdwardSeaton OMG, I'm one of those fault - finders!
@gingerbard2607 it's OK 👍 at least you admit it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
