S1:E7| Sailing in Fog to Drakes Bay

Since creating this series we’ve learned a lot about the use of the word tribe and we fully respect the cultural significance attached to it and have decided not to use it in our channel name going forward! Much love y’all!

We set out for our first time sailing in fog, actually, sailing in THICK fog, so heavy that we couldn't see the Golden Gate Bridge until we were directly beneath it! Living in the San Francisco Bay area, we knew we would eventually run into some serious fog but it was pretty nerve racking to say the least. To trust the GPS, the AIS app and our puny foghorn was a tough task.
It was hard not to second guess our decision to leave the dock on a foggy day but after we got through the worst of it, got used to reading our equipment and ended up in the beautiful sunny anchorage of Drakes Bay with nothing but blue sky above, we realized that it was probably better to have done it this way, by choice, rather than to have been caught off guard, having to come back to port in the fog without having felt prepared. I can honestly say we learned a lot about how to sail in fog on our trip sailing to Drakes Bay!
