Amazing experience So many monkeys

200+ nautical miles, countless midday naps, endless servings of nutella, absolutely 0 pairs of pants, 2 gnarly colds … and i’ve sailed to a new country with a crew of 3 badass pirates! ⚓️⛵️🤙🏻

Left Crystal River this morning at first light. Still having trouble with the starboard tank. Ran off of the left the entire time and had to fill up in Madeira Beach. Waited out a little rain at Sea Dogs Brewery for lunch. Going to hang at Harborage Marina for a couple weeks to troubleshoot and improve a few things. Saying Bon Voyage to Jackson on Monday who heads out on his own adventure in the Philippines with Expedition Drenched!

We arrived to Crystal River with no joke at lease 40 other boats. Cannot wait to get out of civilization. Excellent predictable day except Boba getting under the front floor bilge area. Pulling him out while in a light head sea was pretty traumatic for him. Adding cats secure to future checklist. We also say an impressive waterspout en route.

The boat and prop performed perfectly today. Averaged 15kts over 5 hours. Our first official crossing of the trip. Still looks like the Gulf of Mexico to me.

Looks like we even have a swimming pool.

Had a pretty fantastic popup early this morning. We made it to a little marina and battened down the hatches :).

Easy 35 mile run. Forgot to start my track. We departed from Eagle Cove.
