Here we are rigging a reef line while underway. We had swapped the laminate main sail out for the Dacron main sail before leaving the dock, because it was quite windy and the Dacron sail is more robust. But we didn't rig the second reef line properly and had to pull it out in order to raise the sail. So here we are sailing under the first reef, while I climbed onto the boom to re-rig the second reef. I’m wearing a climbing harness attached to the spinnaker halyard for safety.

We're in the Seychelles, isolated and uninhabited until the 18th century, Seychelles have provided ideal conditions for unique plant and animal species, like the worlds largest seed, the Coco de Mer, often referred to as the love nut, which they grind up to make Seychelles Viagra. This in turn keeps the Seychelles giant tortoise , which have a lifespan of 250 years grinding well into their old age. Seychelles, where we're doing it hard.

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!
