As we expected during our Winter stay in Turkey, there would be storms. We are currently sailing our way South to see as much of the coast as possible. Stopping at a place called Kakova Road we have found a bay to anchor tight for the next 3 days due to a nasty frontal system making its way around the area. Rain, Thunder storms and winds to 35knts (65km/h) . Life on board can be quite uncomfortable in these conditions with rolling swells rocking the yacht side to side causing endless bangs and crashes of lines and equipment being thrown about not to mention the howling sounds the rigging makes in even moderate winds. WE make do with games, music and family time until the weather clears for sailing again.Be sure to check back here for location and track updates https://freedomfamily.nz/locations/where-are-we-now/ --------------------------------------------------- Please consider becoming a Member Supporter and hit the JOIN button.. or just LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!

Ketch-up (get it, ketchup like catch-up, or ketch like our boat 😇🤣🍟) with what we’ve been up to. I had extra fun in making this little dispatch 😋 I grew up watching this movie where our family would often quote it and still do. The weather has been pretty stormy for May, but we have been getting the odd dry periods with warm wind here and there. To be honest, the Caribbean is looking pretty good right now. Boat life carries on regardless of how chilly of a spring we’re having. Each week has been bringing us new opportunities for learning more about our boat 😉😉 @wilder85 has been a trooper getting items checked off our list while working and fitting in a paddle or two. Thanks for following along with us ⛵️
