I once heard someone say that you can learn to sail in an afternoon but it takes a lifetime to get good at it. I’ve lived and worked on boats for over ten years now and have experienced a wide variety of situations on the water.
But this week we come face to face with a boating maneuver that has instilled fear in my heart ever since I began dreaming of sailing the world. Personally I regard it as the most difficult boating maneuver that I know of and although it is quite rare throughout most of the world here in Greece where we’ve been sailing for the past couple of weeks, it is used prolifically.
So this week we seek advice from a med mooring expert and get a crash course on… well… how not to crash. And our new found skills get a trial by fire when an unexpected storm descends on the Ionian Islands and the only thing keeping us off the rocks are the techniques that we just learned days before.
