Episode 35 | M.O.B 'Till We Get It Right

Hello Patrons!

I'm sending this from a marina in Barcelona Spain. I've begun my Winded Voyage and actually going places. For the past couple of weeks, me and my friend Bix have been sailing solo on our boats. Two dudes crying around the coast of Spain each on our own boats. So far it has been another great learning experience and will make some pretty great stories for the upcoming season 2. Bix has been teaching me to anchor, dock, trim and get around solo on my Galopin. I can't wait to share these adventures with you all!

M.O.B. or Man Over Board is an exercise every sailor should practice and master. It's also something one hopes to never have to do. Our skipper Nico was adamant we get it right. It took several tries until we got right, and finally we did. It was our last chapter in our 1000M journey and the final step to get my license. 

I had to bring all my paperwork to the Cruising Club Suisse in Bern and got to discover the city, The capital of Switzerland. Even though it's landlocked, it was here that I would get the right to sail the oceans. A beautiful town that was hosting a street music festival. Another example that sailing is about discoveries and new experiences. This is the final chapter of Winded Voyage Season 1 and the beginning of Season 2 which will be coming soon.

Thank you all!

Alex.
