Leo has made a few short videos on his single-handed voyage from Panama for Cuba.  I'll post them here as I see them.  I'm not sure whether or not this counts as a 'episode'.

Day Two


Day Three

 

"Heaving To"

Generally this is with the foresails set 'aback', so they're on the side from where the wind is coming, the main set normally, but with little wind filling it and the tiller set to balance the boat.  It's done to settle the boat for a while and/or as a storm tactic.  Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaving_to and a YouTube video: Heaving To


 

Day 5 ( crash gybe / steering gear failure )
