Solo sail with wife and kid? - Back to the States

Taylor Berg

This was Isla’s first overnight sail. She did great, slept like normal, and only fussed when I wouldn’t let her on deck to help Dad sail. Ever since having Isla, I’ve been getting some sea sickness symptoms when it’s rolly and I’m down below too long. This made for a more than usual miserable 24+ sail across the Gulf Stream for me since I was below deck with Isla most of the time. Alex basically single handed the entire trip. We caught two barracuda (probably the same one ha). Alex slept 10-15 mins at a time overnight. I tried to stay up with him to watch the rocket 🚀 launch but Isla woke up at exactly take off 🤪🤦🏼‍♀️. We listened to a hilarious radio exchange between the carnival cruise ship and a cargo ship who were both trying to avoid crashing into us but couldn’t quite figure out how not to hit each other. Alex sailed up until 2/3am and then had to start the motor. It’s unfortunate because if we could have just sent it north, it would have been a more comfortable ride. Came in through Cape Canaveral, first time through the lock there. We saw manatee, shark, and an alligator! Captain is finally getting some rest! 7 weeks - shortest Bahamas trip so far 🇧🇸⛵️
