What this video covers

Erica and Warren complete a final three-day sail to reach a haul-out facility, navigating with favorable winds and whale sightings.8:09 The couple intends to haul their catamaran out of the water for five to six months of storage.13:12 Upon arrival, they attempt to maneuver the vessel into a slip with a 22-foot width, which provides only six inches of clearance for their 21.5-foot beam.13:12 Despite removing fenders and attempting to enter during calm conditions, the boat becomes stuck against the dock structure, resulting in minor scrapes to the rail.19:30 After failing to clear the slip, the crew decides to abandon the attempt and relocate to a previously scheduled, more expensive, and more distant boatyard.20:57 The experience highlights the logistical constraints of catamaran ownership, specifically the difficulty of finding travel lifts and slips capable of accommodating wide beams.22:09
