Driving through the Free State Province to get to Cape Town. It's really flat and all you see are fields of corn and sunflowers.

Che non è una parolaccia, ma il termine per descrivere il tensionamento delle sartie, i cavi di acciaio che sorreggono l’albero. Come sapete, un lungo viaggio ci attende e stiamo facendo tutto il necessario per condurlo in sicurezza. Siamo agitati per la partenza? Abbastanza. Il ritorno in Europa sembra essere la parte più impegnativa del viaggio, così dicono tutti i velisti con cui parliamo. Ma le uniche tre persone che lo hanno già fatto con cui abbiamo chiacchierato ci hanno assicurati che potrebbe essere anche più tranquillo dell’andata e noi vogliamo affidarci al loro parere. Spero in tanti avvistamenti marini, in albe e tramonti da togliere il fiato e in lunghi momenti di pace che solo l’oceano sconfinato sa trasmettere. Sono questi i pensieri che ci accompagnano mentre lavoriamo al pc fino a tardi, per recuperare il tempo che abbiamo dedicato al rigging e per portarci avanti per i prossimi giorni. La partenza si avvicina. Per aiutare anche voi a rendervi conto di quanto sia alle porte l’oceano Atlantico vi dico che la prossima volta che butterò la canna da pesca in acqua in cerca di una squisita lampuga (ovvero il primo momento disponibile) sarà quando partiremo per attraversare. Fa sembrare tutto molto più vicino, non è così? Adesso che abbiamo qualche giorno per parlarne, c’è qualcosa che vi piacerebbe vedere o leggere della traversata? Se sì scrivetelo nei commenti 💪 A domani! C.

“What would you do if you could freely choose?” I took this picture of myself roughly 15 years ago. It was the day that I turned my life upside down. It was the moment I realized: staying in my 'old life' would hurt more than risking everything for the life I actually wanted. I have not regretted this decision. I surely have struggled on this path, but I’m still out here—still learning, still sailing, still choosing the unknown. Because this is the life I freely choose. This isn’t a how-to. It’s a reminder that your “what if” might be worth the risk. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s hard. Even if you fail. Maybe especially then. This post is inspired by my morning meditation that gifted me this quote: "And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." – Anaïs Nin When is your blossom day? #AlternativeLiving #IntentionalLiving #NomadLife #TinyLiving #SimpleLiving #DigitalNomadLife #LiveYourTruth #LifeRedesigned #RewriteYourStory #CreateTheLifeYouLove #StartLiving #LiveDifferently #ConsciousLiving #BreakTheMold #DreamChasers #DareToBlossom #BlossomDay #SailingLife #SailAwayFromOrdinary #SailingAdventure #SailingCommunity #SoulfulEntrepreneur #HealingJourney #FreedomLifestyle #LifeOffTheGrid #CampfireConversations ⇩ Join the wonderful support crew that makes these videos possible and get instant access to behind the scene footage, regular real time updates and even join some of the most magic moments of this journey during a live feed ⇩ ► YOUTUBE CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkYfFeySHGN4DPrOc9So7PA/join ► PATREON http://www.patreon.com/WhiteSpotPirates ⇩ Wanna buy me a drink or a treat for Boga? ⇩ ► PAY PAL https://www.paypal.me/whitespotpirates **** Join me on an inspiring journey that began with buying and refitting my Reinke Super 10 sailboat called KARL. Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. Along the way, I became an ocean conservation activist with In Mocean, stumbled across my dog Boga, and discovered the joys and challenges of sailing with a dog. Now, I’m exploring a new chapter, having jumped aboard my partner’s Hallberg Rassy Rasmus with Boga and his Australian Kelpie, Jango. Together, we face the unique dynamics and challenges of sailing as a couple, balancing off-grid life, sustainable sailing, and the demands of long-term cruising. If you’re interested in remote sailing adventures, authentic sailing stories, and the realities of living on a sailboat, this channel offers a glimpse into the world of DIY projects, the sailing lifestyle, and life’s transformative moments on the water. Follow along for inspiring stories that reflect on the beauty of sailing, personal growth, and chasing dreams—one wave at a time.
