Do you wear a lifejacket every time onboard?

This is how you balance your boat under Genoa sail only.
How do you do it?

🥳🎉. Whoo Hoo. 💜 ⛵
We've not only gone and done it.!!! 🤓🙏
10k followers is a wonderful milestone on Facebook.
Thank you all for taking an interest in the work Sailing Sibongile is doing and the changes in people's lives that we are hoping to help with. 🫶🫵

Ps: I guess now I have to keep my promise and throw myself in the water for a MOB video. 🙈

Have you ever fed swans fresh water? I'm 51 and done this for the first time. 🤓

😳... I can't believe we're 89 away from 10,000 followers.
That's so awesome. And I'm so grateful for the interest and the support and the wonderful people I've met on this journey so far. 🙏
To think, I only started sailing 5.5yrs ago, and Sailing Sibongile (was originally called "Sailing with a Weirdo") started 4.5yrs ago.
I've personally learnt so much in that time. About sailing, but and also how to combine the fun (and stress) of sailing with the important message of being grateful for what you have and protecting your happiness.

Tell y'all what... If... 🙈... The page hits 10,000 by the end of the week, I'll promise to personally be Bob in a MOB scenario video before the end of the year.

How's that? 😆

If you're a small boat, just give way to the ships. No matter if you're sailing or not. Rather be late than dead! 😅

💜 ⛵... Crew Opportunity... 🌍 🐬
We're taking Jon Seagull out next weekend, for both Saturday and Sunday (separate days).
The crew numbers for one of those days will be small, although I don't know exactly which yet (probably the Saturday).
So, if you would like to put your name down for a late season outing on the Solent then please message me.

Not sailing this weekend, so thought we'd take a long land-lubbing walk to Old Harry Rocks between Studland and Swanage, in Dorset.
Seen these many times from the water but never from the land.
Fun fact... These rocks were once connected to the Isle of Wight, when Poole Bay never existed. The river Stour used to flow past the north of the Isle of Wight (what is now the Solent), until the river, storms, and coastal erosion broke through the limestone cliffs.
Crazy Huh?

Hey Y'all 👋😎
As promised, here is the link to the recording of yesterday's talk at the boatfolk stand of the Southampton International Boat Show .

I'll be running a giveaway for a number of the Sailing Sibongile caps. (I think there are 18 in total), so keep a look out for that on Friday around midday in the UK.

In the meantime, if you'd like to buy one, here's the link:
