this particular episode shows just how you sailors sail by weather windows but even then how fast things can change and basically turn your life all around.

Prudence should top adventure I think. You may not get there as quickly, but getting there intact is a little important. Enough maintenance needed already without piling more on. It is a boat after all. And yes it is hard to see how high the seas are, but it did look to be green gill inducing.

I remember when off fishing in our fishing boat the weather was atrocious and decided to return home even though we were to meet friends. Later that day we found out that our friends boat capsized and they luckily got rescued. Confirmation that our decision was a good one. Xx

"Gentlemen don't sail to windward", comes to mind. Last month we visited Straits Quay in Penang. What a lovely place to visit. Downside is with 40 highly sought-after berths, when you are expected to vacate your berth there isn't a lot of wiggle room to negotiate a favorable weather window. This combined with the need to enter and depart the marina on high tide due to silting saw use leave with a potential 66mile slog to windward. One boat had left the previous day, spent 6 hours to windward, gave up and was back alongside in an hour. Plan B was to reduce the distance to our destination (Langkawi) and drop anchor 10nm away from the marina. Plan C was to slog it out to the islands to the North East (Palau Bunting). We departed at high tide (11:00) and slogged our way up the coast on Plan C. A 24nm trip would normally take us 3 1/2 hours. That day was 7. We didn't turn back, nowhere to go as the marina didn't have room and the high tide was long gone. Back we have turned back many, many times. It's amazing how much relief one feels when you ease sheets, the boat comes upright and you fly downwind to a safe anchorage. BTW the next day the wind moved to the North-East (the forecast was right) and we had a blistering broach reach across to Langkawi - our first real sail in months).

Yeah okay, almost could be accused of “click baiting” . But still another good episode, I’ve actually seen a few channels turn back over the year’s, enough for it to be not uncommon.. and i agree with what most people commented, why beat the crap outta yourselves and Esper, what’s the point? If you’re in a hurry or have a deadline to meet, sailing probably isn’t the right option to start with.. thanks guys!
