Ballie is my name Sailing is my thang 🤣. When the wind blows an we cant sail we kite if there is no wind well then we surf and when there is no surf then its time for the Rum shack.
Stoked after a Atlantic Ocean Crossing to a Florida-Costa Rica sail. Finally i get to set my aim on returning to family and a super exited little one that will keep me in the surf. Sailed the ocean now to fly over it one more time. 👊🤘
Quick lil run up the coast to clear in get permits and explore.
What a absolute awesome experience. Use the Ballie#Canal code for your booking an get a whole lock with no container ships 🤣🤣🤣🤣 got super lucky on that one but man all i can say just do it you will not be disappointed.
We been sailing at 50-55* and from last night winds have changed and allowed us to fall off to around 70*. What a absolute difference in comfort mood an speed. So we have Garmin navigation instruments and we run the Ipad on Navionics as a back up. I dont know why the ipad is 20times better 😆 but they need to shift that engineer over to redo there MFD’s. Ray is the way. Good sailing today with good food an a 🍺
Now i understand when they say West is best. This Eastern movement aint as fun thats for sure 🤣. The little FP Elba probably getting its first real sail under her hulls. But there is hope insight winds will start to shift an we will bare away. For now we keep beating.
It’s a wrap. We sailed from South Africa into the Chesapeake into 25kts of breeze and sun. It took 38 days at sea and 3 stops along the way, This was the trip of a lifetime. Thanks to Ray, Ballie, Gareth, and Darren for joining and making it possible. Next season we will just putter around the Carib and hang out with friends. For now, a bit of land rest. See y’all on the water in Sept.
