steelepulse Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 There have been easterly winds up to 20-25 knots for a couple weeks straight now. Wind does ease up in the afternoon, then comes on strong again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? I'm not a "navy person" either, but it doesn't take a genius to know that sailboats are at the mercy of wind direction and strength - that's why they DUH! have engines as backup. If winds are not favorable you won't get where you wanna go. I can't believe how many people here are so stupid as to not know that most basic and common sense fact.

FYI... sail boats do a thing called “tacking” to get to ANYWHERE they want to go in unfavourable winds. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can't see a mizzen sail. Looks like your typical live aboard day to day condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of wind and engine failure? In any event I am sure it was not an imaginary issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
