THE BEGINNING OF THE ADVENTURE As I hung up the phone and begin running frantically across the parking lot... A car barrels in front of me blaring its horn. Carl pops his head up and yells 'whoa, what's the rush?' Its Another Adventure, she's sinking! I scream and point across Boca Ciega bay in Gulfport St Pete. Through the Thinly scattered boats across the Anchorage you could barely see the gray hull of Another Adventure, the bow was dipping bellow the surface and the stern gunwale only 2-3 ft from the water. it appeared as if there was no way to make it in time but I didn't miss a beat as I sprinted around his car and to the dinghy dock. Hoisting the sail on the sunfish and cursing the wind gods 'of course there's no damn wind, why would there be wind at a time like this?' I exclaimed with frustration. fortunately I am smart enough to keep a paddle on bored and begin making my way out swiftly. That was over 3 years and 7000 nautical miles of Another Adventure ago! when Another Adventure was in fact not my Adventure at all. The above is the beginning of a book I will hopefully one day finish and is a true story of how sometimes just doing the right thing can open doors beyond your wildest dreams! Which is what this channel is about and more importantly what LIFE is about! ....

We just crossed the Panama Canal on Zambezi, and let’s just say… it’s not a lazy Sunday sail. Here’s what caught us off guard: ⛵️ Your boat is not important. You’re just a tiny dot next to the big container ships. Be prepared to get moved around to fit the schedule. 💪 Your line handlers need muscles. The chambers fill fast, the current pulls hard, and keeping the lines tight is real work. Don’t skip arm day 😉 🧑✈️ You need to know how to steer in currents. Between the water rushing in and the 300-meter cargo ship powering up in front of you, your rudder needs a steady hand. Now that we’re through the Canal, we have “only” 2,800nm left to sail to our final destination in Canada. Should be doable by September, right? Stay Salty!
