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.

Started foiling this year and finally found an afternoon to practice. A lot of falls. Knees scrapped to the bone, but managed a few foiling runs. It’s magical. It’s fun to suck at something and know that 10,000 hours later I’ll forget what it was like sucking.

It’s a bit surreal, we’ve completed 6,700nm in the last month. It flew by. If anything, gave Ray and I the taste to keep going. Confidence in this boat, and respect but also courage to head deep to sea. Ray is getting off here, we’re both flying home on Friday for the weekend. I’m blessed that I’ll be able to attend my friends funeral. Then back June 2nd for last leg direct to the Chesapeake to complete her maiden journey. Bucket list ✅

A large clan of spinner dolphins hang in the bay. We were heading back from a snorkelling session and they joined us and showed us their stuff.
