Be careful what you wish for
October 23, 2024
Be careful what you wish for! As we drifted past the NW corner of Sicily, we were fantasizing about wind and waves. Then we had a night of constant rain in our faces, a building sea state, and sailed a beam reach across wind in the high 30s. I mean… it was AWESOME, but it was full on. We are “storming” in every sense of the word—and this morning, although dazed and extremely exhausted, the mood on board is one of achievement and pride, laughter and fun!
