Sailing Turkey to Greece in 50 knot storm - INDEPENDENCE AT SEA Video Log 2

This time in our upgrade we get CAUGHT IN A STORM...

And there are many more of those questions. Now for me the big step is that if all the thousands of people who ask exactly those questions would actually stop asking them and just stepped up and did what they are thinking about we were one step further already! So here is the idea: What if we all made an attempt and at least one time a day we actually did what everyone is talking about? Go ahead, pick up that piece of garbage before it ends up in the ocean. Pick your bike for that errand, that is only a few meters away, have a closer look at the label and maybe check back if that is really what you want to buy. It is smal...
