You Won't Believe What Happens When Sailing Alone in the North Channel

Sailing alone in the North Channel, and I ran aground.
In this video I continue my sailing journey into the north channel, leaving Drummond Island and heading to Canada. Single-handed sailing isn't easy; I made several mistakes on this day.

I'm a beginner sailor. And I already know that I won't learn something until I make a mistake doing that thing, and the mistake has consequences. In only a few months I've been in so many situations, including having to be rescued by a tourist party boat (and I party'd with the tourists). Videos like this one, when one can almost feel being in the boat with you, making the right or wrong decisions, and seeing the consequences, are priceless. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

Great video, thanks for your honesty and humility. Fair winds to you.

[@SailingInScotland]

Good lesson learned, when in tight quarters always pay attention to the markers. Troubleshooting electronic devices should always be secondary. Everyone runs aground.

[@timmaude1369]

Great videos. Darcy says wear a harness Jason and clip in. We want to continue to see your videos. Cooler than Queretaro but even more fun. Don't sweat the little miscalculations. Every sailor has made numerous mistakes. We learn from them.

[@EllisBrookTherapies]

Shit Happens Jason! At least you didn’t hit the rock or do what a skipper of mine did and ran us aground on a reef where huge waves were crashing over our boat. Had to wait for a wave to lift us up enough to get off. It happens to the best of us. You are doing awesome, keep going. And it’s fun to watch. Imagine how boring this would be if it all went to plan! Neill

[@Anasta43]

After all the headaches I think you are just doing great. 👍. You are very brave to have undertaken this whole trip, your planning has been great, no one gets by without a mistake. Stop beating yourself up.

[@hrmacdonald4471]

Hell of a day Jason...let me guess...it was the spreader that put the tear in the main? Keep getting back up in the saddle...you are doing great!

[@NatTate-f7e]

I am too proud. I would have stripped, jumped in and pushed it off myself. I would have tried I think. lol.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

These things happen. I try to look after so I can keep an eye out for it. It will happen again, such is life

[@kurtpedersen2558]

i am similar to you but started 10 years ago in a 26ft. it's been 10 good years and I enjoy watching you go through the same experiences. etc. Kurt from Denmark

You should always have at least one navigation backup. Besides my chartplotter, I have navionics on my old iphone6 and it has never failed me. In addition, I carry a garmin gpsmap 64 onto which I download multiple tracks for different destinations in the North Channel and Georgian Bay, as well as Lake Huron harbors. I’ve never needed them, but it is sometimes convenient to watch the gps instead of the phone or chartplotter. It’s easy to transfer navionics routes to the garmin but requires a laptop. At least, that’s how I do it. Good luck and happy sailing.

In your situation, I would have put the main to bed and sailed (Downwind) with the head sail. Less heal and, with the furler, you can shorten sail easily if overpowered.

[@NatTate-f7e]

Comment! I just realized your boat is green. Nice.

[@sempertalis1230]

Thanks for sharing, even the not so pleasant moments ❤ Everyone got a lesson and that's how everyone made progress.
