Quite a memorable sail in so many ways! First, my 2 crew were first time passage makers - one is my closest friend and the other a 16yo who has decided he wants to sail around the world. The first day, we crossed the Great Bahama Bank in gorgeous weather. Then our autopilot stopped working on the very first night watch. After much struggling and even a phone call to Raymarine, we gave up hope and hand steered the rest of the way. Got very good at foot steering too! Beautiful, easy, and speedy Gulf Stream sailing until the last 3 hours…then we had the most spectacular lightning storm. Strikes all around us but did not get hit thankfully. Really just threw in some excitement right at the end! Now safe and sound, right back at Bella’s home dock where I was 6 months ago. A bit surreal to be home..
