Something I have always hated since day one with sailing is when the boat is leaning. I always get the feeling that the boat will tip over or that I will fall out of it. Luckily Anders is aware of my fear and challenges me in small portions so that I won't chicken out totally. I nearly panic when the boat leans too much, particularly when the leaning is sudden.
Today we had the idea to go out into the bucket and sail both with the main and the genoa. We made some good tacks and at one point the boat started leaning a lot. And the panic grew. But instead of sitting around sniffling the entire trip I decided to sit looking forward in the boat, not to the side. And that did the trick. Despite a pretty significant leaning I didn't get more panic but I felt that I managed to be in the boat even when it was leaning.
Also, what great sailing we did! Anders had perhaps not managed to explain 100% to me about how to manage the sails and I thought that I would have to work all the sails myself. We split them up and I managed the genoa as usual and Anders took care of the main. We got really good winds and quite a few knots.
There are no pictures from the day but a little film below. We are also present on Facebook as Sailing River Song. Please visit our YouTube channel, Sailing River Song, for more films.
