Spring is in the air and time to get our boat upgraded to Lithium, solar and prepare for off the grid sailing in Desolation Sound, British Columbia. In this episode, we continue our journey, learning to sail after buying our first boat this past winter. We explore the local waters around Vancouver and the Gulf Islands and make some important fixes and upgrades to the sailboat.
