41. Offshore on an Unfit Boat | Learning the Lines - DIY Sailing

2018-05-09 4

We motor our Endeavour 32 from St. Petersburg to Port Charlotte to be hauled out at Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage and trucked over to J & R Marine. This trip was a little risky because we had to go offshore in a boat that doesn't have portlights, grab rails, deck hardware, or sails rigged. We prepared by making sure we had an active Boat US and EPirb membership should anything happen along the way. We also made sure to have a good weather window. The trip went great.

One thing I wanted to mention that isn't in the video is that we added a hazard to the location in Active Captain where we hit the object in the canal on the way to Charlotte Harbor Boar Storage. Now hopefully anyone using Active Captain will see it and hopefully not hit it like we did.

Learning the Lines is a channel about us, an average couple in our 20's, with big dreams to be sailing the world by the time we're in our 30's. We're not afraid to jump into anything, put in the work, and learn as we go. For this reason our channel is very DIY focused, with the goal to show anyone watching that a lot is possible if you're not afraid to make some mistakes along the way.
