• Bumpy start! Ran aground 5x😱🙄

    Left the marina in the morning at eight. After some confusion about the low water level, though it was supposedly high tide the captain decided we still leave. This drove us into some heart breaking bump scratching noises when we drove through the gate.. We hit some stones 3 times and were struggling to get through.

    But that was not the end of it. Outside the gate is a shallow ring around the entrance where we run aground trying to get a few days ago.

    This time with the water levels lower we got stuck 3 times but managed to get free every time until we found a spot where we could go through.

    After a 10-15 minute beating upwind, against high waves,out of the harbour entrance, we could set sail and bear away.😮‍💨

    So, no sleeping. Trying and taking our cabin outside to try.
