My wife taught me to sail. She has done ocean sailing in New Zealand on her parents' boat from the age of 5 until she left home. We have been in storms on our 34 ft Beneteau in 60-knot winds off the coast of Australia, where the waves have been over 20 feet high, and she was the one who sailed the boat while I freaked out. Sailing is a beautiful sport, and whether you're male or female is not important. What's more important is your willingness to have a go and learn from your mistakes. Emily, it's good to see you giving it your all!

Hey thanks Ken! 60-knots is crazy! When we experienced 57knts last year we could not believe it and thankfully it only lasted about 4 minutes. Sounds like your wife is a pretty cool lady - Emily

Thats awesome. Cant wait to see all the adventures.

So I would like to suggest an alternate “moral of the story” around the sail bag. Perhaps finding (and proving out) a way to make it easier for Emily to open the bag is in order. As a starting point perhaps a small loop of line attached to the zipper pull would allow a boat hook to be used.

@Homeless.......Really? Do don't find yourself always doing the same chores or tasks?

I learned more about sailing from you here than any other video. I’m still never stepping foot on a boat, but I get it now. Good work.

My wife, Candace was new to sailing and after two years on a 27 foot Buccaneer on the west coast and Lake Mead she was ready to take on the cruising life on board our Manta 42, Reality, for 10 years and managed our boat very comfortably and confidently. 32 hours of high winds, big seas and non functioning auto helm. She was tremendously competent on multiple 2 hour shift hand steering and sail trimming. Ive been sailing many classes of boats for 30÷ years. It made my adventures more relaxing and enjoyable knowing she could manage the boat single handed. And yes it can seem overwhelming. ⛵ 🌴 🏝 🗺

Hey guys I noticed that when you're anchoring the knuckle on the end of the bridle is backwards. I know this is going to sound strange but the Rope end of the knuckle needs to be pointing aft. At 19 minutes and 50 seconds when the chain gets further out in front of your boat your knuckle is going to be backwards not pulling properly if you think about it at that time frame if you switch that knuckle 180° it would look proper

Awesome view of emily!
