25 days, 2 hours and 5 minutes across the Pacific Ocean! ♥︎

Don’t even know where to begin with describing this journey. But first of all we just wanna say that we’ve arrived safe and sound to French Polynesia, our home for the next 1,5 years!! We spend the first weeks after arriving, taking in every sensation of land after so many days at sea. The sounds. The smells. A steady bed to sleep in. Fresh food and veggies. Clean clothes. Alone time. Walks. Friends. Catching up with our families at home. Everything our souls were craving. We’ve found it hard to step back into online work, emails, social media and everything we’ve been cut off for, for so long. We’ve been tired after having had 15-35 knots wind for the entire journey, except for a total of 25 hours of no wind and motoring. We’ve been tired after we spend the first 9 days battling strong headwinds and the last 16 days rolling in waves downwind. But honestly, we’ve been absolutely blessed on this crossing in every way. Blessed to have shared this experience with a group of badass friends. Blessed not to be stuck in dead wind zones. Blessed not to have any major damages to our boat. But most importantly - blessed to finally again getting the feeling of making time stand still, while all the days melted together in one big cloud of blue. My god we had missed it.. There’s so many memories for us to share from this crossing and one day an entire film, that we’ve been working our asses off to film during the last two months. We’re still taking time to take in all the memories and reflect upon everything that’s happened. By now we’ve almost sailed to the other side of the world and to the place where all our dreams of this life truly formed inside of us, four years ago.. Thank you Pacific Ocean for 25 days of the perfect combination of piecefulness and challenges. It’s absolutely surreal to us, but WE DID IT! Lots of love and relief, from Sis & Leo♥︎
