276: Why can't we raise the genoa? We attempt to fix this and prep to leave for Las Perlas

The genoa gave us issues trying to raise it just before we left for Taboga and Las Perlas. Brown’s daughter Hannah comes to visit us for 10 days and we have a great time exploring the outer islands and communing with nature.

NEW TO OUR CHANNEL?
We are Eileen and Brown Councill. Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we have very little sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia.
So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you. We are so glad you have decided to join us, and we hope that you will find our story so compelling that it will inspire you to chase your dreams too!
As a viewer, we consider you to be part of our family and look forward to getting to know you. Don't hesitate to comment on our videos and ask questions. We will do our best to answer every correspondence! All we ask is that you have patience with us as we work really hard to improve our camera/video techniques and ability to tell a story. Hopefully, you will be as BLOWN AWAY from watching, as we are in experiencing and producing our adventures!
If you wish to support our video efforts, all we ask is that you SUBSCRIBE, give a THUMBS UP, and SHARE our videos with your friends!

What a wonderful episode man that Genoa really gave you a hassle when you were trying to put it back up but you all did a real good job It's nice to see brown having fun spending time with his daughter that's wonderful I think the clip at the end is the one you used for pig pen but did you realize earlier in this episode you caught Tinkerbell on film You all are the best thank you for sharing those beautiful smiles and we'll see you next week please stay safe

Interesting that there’s no winch to support the foresail halyard?

[@SailingBlownAway]

I know. It’s a shame. We have to run it back to the helm! Thanks for your comment.

At 6 minutes and 40 seconds looking into the sunset there is a little green orb that's Tinkerbell
