Single-Handing ... Yeah, Baby!!
For all the reasons mentioned, YES, I LOVE to go solo!! The greatest single contributor to the ability to solo is auto-helm. With that, I can get u/w, raise and lower sail, go below for a quick drink, etc. Have read Joshua Slocum twice and the idea of around the world in a home-built boat with nearly no instrumentation makes my little jaunts from Baltimore to Solomoms seems like nothing. But there's nothing quite like the thrill of coming alongside ALONE to the amazement of Marinia Crew, anchoring in proximity to other boats ALONE, etc to fulfill the old ego! Got u/w from a marina at Solomon's with a PERFECT off-setting wind that was the dream of a lifetime! I just LOVE This stuff! If nothing else, one MUST at least have the ABILITY to do it alone!!
