How we prepare for passage

 

This week, we answer a question we receive from Robert: How much preparation do you do for each passage, and do you have assigned roles onboard?

Ahead of our slightly over 100 nautical miles sail between Cascais near Lisbon in Portugal, and Lagos at the Southern tip, we take you through our all our preparations for sailing!

We go through everything from picking our destinations and route, navigation and weather briefing (as well as the navigation and weather tools we use for that), checking the engine, the bilge, the ditch bag, all the way to provisions, food, deck preps, to raising the anchor and hosting the sail!

We did not make this video as a “how to”, but rather as a way to share our process with the community. We are still learning, and will be learning for how long as we sail!
