A rogue wave from a different direction to the general wave train hits my boat while hove to (not sailing) in a storm, 100 miles off the Australian coast on passage from New Caledonia to Brisbane in November 2017. This was during my single-handed sailing circumnavigation in Fathom, my Vancouver 28. The tiller is not lashed completely to leeward as I was experimenting in keeping some way on. Conditions improved enough after 3 days that I was able to start sailing again and safely make landfall. If I had tried to close on the coast in these conditions it could have been a disaster in the shallow water and even bigger breaking waves found in the South Australian Current (another solo sailor was rescued at the time). Check out a film about my solo sailing circumnavigation: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-TVP7dP56ezfWlLJSTVKhL0GkKdKIvLd My Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thomdarcy My Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/yachtfathom My website: http://www.thomdarcy.com #broach #knockdown #bigwavesailing #sailingstorm #breakingwave #roguewave

⚓ We still shout at each other when we drop anchor and then act like nothing happened afterwards 😆 ⛵ I (Greta) still question if the boat will actually turn back upright when we start heeling 🍜 Sometimes offshore “dinners” are just cup noodles and that is totally fine 🛠️ We have clear job assignments that have not really changed in the last 7 years 🧽 We procrastinate when it comes to scrubbing the hull 🌊 We still have a lot to learn. Sailing is not something you can fully master in a classroom. Some lessons only come from being out there in the elements. Here is to embracing the quirks, the learning curves and the messy bits of life at sea. That is what makes the journey ours 💙 If you are dreaming about boatlife or curious about what it really takes to sail offshore, scroll to our link in bio. You will find resources, tips and a glimpse into the reality of living on the water so you can start charting your own course. Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi ⛵️ #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife⚓️ #liveaboard #sailingadventure #liveaboardlife
