We had Skoota hauled out yesterday at the marina in Indiantown, Florida about 20 miles inland and on the canal to Lake Okeechobee. That makes it a safe place to store a boat during the hurricane season. Thus it is hugely popular, many of the cruisers we met in the Bahamas said they stored their boats here. We'd passed by on our trip east on New Years Day but hadn't really appreciated just how large a facility it is. As you can see from this video taken from Skoota's foredeck - it's huge. Apparently there is room for 500 boats in storage plus a large work yard Skoota will be staying here until late November, meantime we fly off on Monday (if we can work out how to get to the airport, 100 miles away)

So grateful for this life! Whales, dolphins, fresh fish and amazing sunsets every day! 9 years ago every single person around me said I was crazy sailing 2000nm from the Netherlands to Ibiza in winter on a 28ft boat with no experience. Experienced sailors said I wouldn’t even make it to Belgium (our neighbor country) And look at my life now. Still no money on my account (16 dollars now to be honest) but I wouldn’t want to chance my life for anything. I’ve got the most beautiful house to travel the world with, meeting amazing people daily and have adventures and experiences that no money can’t buy. Big shout out to all my sponsors that make it possible to pay for my boat maintenance so I can safely cross oceans and replace materials and products that the salt water and sun love to destroy. I think and appreciate you every day looking at my beautiful sails. (I still have two big spots left on the Genoa if anyone is interested) Have a amazing day everyone and know that you can change your life for the good every day. No matter what other people say. Nobody knows your struggles or pain like you do, nobody know what makes you happy but you. So follow your guts, go for that dream, aim to become the most happy version of yourself!
