The ULTIMATE Shakedown Sail

This was the moment we had been waiting for—our first real test sail to see if everything was working and if this boat still felt right for us. ⛵️ We sailed to Gran Canaria, anchored for two nights, but the first night brought trouble—our anchor dragged! The sail back was unforgettable, with shifting conditions, a breathtaking whale sighting, and a big pod of dolphins joining us along the way. Most importantly, this trip led us to a huge decision about our future. Plus, we answer some of your questions at the end.
