Sailing 'Manumitter' - Ep 14: "Shakedown & Falling Down!"

Finally we seem to have sorted out our outboard issues. So in this video we start with a few maintenance projects while the motor was getting fixed and then we took our Hood 23 'Manumitter' out for a kind of 'Shakedown' cruise in which we put the engine through it's paces, also sailing with a reefed mainsail for the first time on the open sea.

I then managed to nearly fall in the water as we were berthing the boat and much like my freediving mishap (in an earlier video) it too got captured on video! I considered whether or not I would include that but after reflection realized I'm sharing most things, the good and bad. It's all part of the journey and perhaps our viewers will get some amusement out of it. It was actually a pretty simple mistake. I leant back on the berthing line too much to offset the momentum of the boat but leant slightly to the right which led to me falling in that direction.
