Start Sailing at Sixty Ep.16 A Very Wet Spring.

During the what seems to be the wettest spring on record we snatch a few days out on Gancia Girl and introduce some friends to sailing as we get ready for the 2024 season.

Yay so glad you are back posting again. You were missed and enjoy your videos thanks

Great, thanks for taking us along

I must thank you for the inspiration. I think your concept to video your experience of learning and sailing at 60 years old is just fantastic. I was talking to some old band members I used to play music with. We are going to document "putting the band back together" at 70 years old. Yes, a few of us are that age. We all still play our instruments, (some play the best they ever have) we are healthy and we have unlimited time and recording studio access. If nothing else, we are going to have a lot of fun and make awesome memories. By the way the expression "we are putting the band back together" is the threat we often used to tease our wives. They did not like when we were on the road for weeks/months at a time. Thanks again for the inspiration and for letting us borrow your concept!

Fabulous, we've had a month of dryish weather now so hope you managed to get out a few times.

I really like the way you can "dock" the boat in England. Very good safety briefing for new crew. Have you considered rigging some simple preventers to avoid unwanted jib? Nice litle story👍
