October 2, 2025 | First full day at sea

We are all working into the rhythm of the sea. For some, this means dealing with seasickness. The rest of the crew is rallying around those not feeling well to offer support. And though not all are 100%, we are happy to report they are in good spirits and are on an upward trend as their bodies adapt to the constant sway of the ocean.

The ocean is a mesmerizing shade of blue that continues 2,000 feet below. Mother Ocean has already given us a show of a dozen small Atlantic dolphins jumping and swimming under ADRIENNE's hull. They disappeared as quickly as they came, as if to say, "Follow us, we know the way." It seems to us just an appetizer of treasures that lay ahead on this journey.

Dolphin party!

Kate was about to yank the spinnaker’s sock down when I spotted a stampede of fins heading straight for us. ”Dolphins!”, I yelled back to the cockpit excitedly. Post dinner dish duty was halted down below for the show.

The pool is open!

We stopped the boat, got the ladder down and put out a line with a fender behind the boat. I love swimming in the middle of the ocean, and a bit scary when you realize its more than 4000+ m deep! Love it!

Big Pink Sail Day

I had a most fashionable pointed striped hat at dinner, and out of the depths of a cupboard a cake was created, after 14 days at sea. A group of people I had never met two weeks ago made me feel very special today.
