I'm fortunate enough to live on a short canal that leads to a big body of water to sail. I keep my boat on a lift and I'm trying to figure the easiest way to get out to the open water, go sailing, then return to the lift. I'm relatively new to this and was curious how everyone else does it?
This is my process:
1. Load bag of sails in cuddy.
2. Paddle my way down the canal to open water.
3. Throw an anchor off the bow.
4. Raise sails.
5. Pull up anchor and go sail.
6. Sail close to canal opening and throw anchor.
7. Drop sails.
8. Stow away sails and paddle back to lift.
Does this all seem like the easiest/fastest way of going out, or do y'all have any tips for an easier time? (ie. creating your own mooring ball to avoid dealing with anchor, raising sails before paddling out, sailing down canal?!, etc. etc.)
