La giornata inizia con degli spruzzi d’acqua. Lontani e appena accennati. Da bravi animali curiosi quali siamo deviamo la rotta e quella che sembrava una zuffa acquatica tra qualche creatura marina, si rivela essere una placida nuotata di due grosse balene. Non ci avviciniamo per non disturbarle e ammiriamo da lontano il momento in cui si inabissano verso le profondità del mare e salutano il cielo levando l’enorme coda verso l’alto. Dopodiché scompaiono per sempre. Riporto la barca sulla giusta rotta mentre mi appunto mentalmente di ricordarmi sempre di non dare la quotidianità per scontata, di continuare a emozionarmi di fronte a delle scene di vita tanto semplici quanto straordinarie. I turni di notte iniziano a presentarci il conto, mentre gli spostamenti e le operazioni diventano man mano molto più faticose. Aprire una vela è mai stato tanto stancante? L’arrivo è previsto tra circa 24h. Il meteo è instabile, da Santo Domingo ci dicono che il maltempo dilaga e che è previsto del brutto. Per ora noi facciamo slalom tra le piogge e assaporiamo ogni raggio di sole che riesce a sfuggire alla presa delle nuvole. Sebbene non abbia ancora mai piovuto, le cerate sono sempre pronte lì all’ingresso. Sperando rimangano appese anche stanotte e domani. Ci aggiorniamo strada facendo! Camilla

Navegar a vela es lo que más me gusta. Pero cuando navego a bordo de un Volvo Ocean Race, es la máxima experiencia náutica que puede vivir en el mar. Este lunes día 4 de diciembre saldremos del puerto de Adra, en la provincia de Almería con rumbo a Lanzarote. Pasaremos el mítico estrecho de Gibraltar. Se esperan vientos de poniente de moderada intensidad que nos harán trazar estrategias para pasarlo de manera óptima. Vivirás la alta velocidad a vela y aprenderás un montón, ya que serás un miembro más de la tripulación ocupando tu puesto durante tu guardia. También te puede servir como experiencia para tus futuras navegaciones.

Where were they going without ever knowing the way? That's a good question! Looking back on our past experiences with cruising sailboats, we always find ourselves in trouble while enjoying a glass of sangria in the Azores and Canary Islands. In 2014, after making our first Atlantic Ocean crossing from Miami to Horta (Faial), we got to talking about an aluminum boat that could one day take us to the Arctic. We had high hopes, and lots of delusions, that we could complete a 9 month full refit on this hunk of metal that had been abandoned in Southern Florida for 10 years. 2.5 years after moving her from storage to the work yard (and that was after crossing BACK across the Atlantic to return on our first cruising boat to Florida), we did splash the Alu boat and head out for a grand adventure. Completing our goal of sailing her into the Arctic Circle, we had been wintering over in the UK when we decided to escape the cold for a few weeks and take advantage of incredibly cheap flights to Tenerife. Think $140 round trip. Sitting in a Montaditos, we discussed how poor the aluminum boat was at sailing, and how much we missed the performance cruiser of our previous Sabre. But...multihulls were the future, and honestly, I was tired of getting seasick from every passage we went on. Mart had hopes for another refit, but I was adamant that the kind of time and effort we'd have to dedicate would be much better spent on a new build. We researched home builds and were eventually contacted by Max Cruise in the process. Once again delusions took over as we thought we could complete this build in 2 years. As you can see, we're already well past that, with at least another year on the horizon. Would I change ANYTHING about the steps we've taken in the past or where it has lead us now? Absolutely not. This is exactly where I'm supposed to be in my life, and when this catamaran does hit the water, I know I'll be filled with nothing but pride and joy. 🤩⛵
