This is what it looks and feels like to get hammered by a storm on a boat. While moored at Camden Haven we got hit by a late afternoon supercell thunderstorm. A beautiful sight as it arrived - the night sky lit up like a lightning bolt xmas tree. Not so beautiful when it hit, 80-90 km/h winds which tossed the boat from side to side and strained the mooring lines... ahhhhh sailing.

As with most long open ocean passages it’s never a certainty as to when we’ll actually leave. There is currently a very small weather window and it’s looking like we’ll leave Tuesday night (2 days from now). In the mean time, the crew and I are servicing, cleaning, maintaining, organizing, and preparing ourselves and the boat. The plan is to get to Bermuda (3-4 days) and then after a few days sail south to St Martin I’m the Caribbean (5-6 days). Make sure to follow us to see our full length sailing channel updates! #sailing #sailinglife #boatlife

Without all the distractions and temptations of modern work the true essence of life shines through. Everyday here revolves around either catching/foraging food or working in the garden to grow it. Without this daily task children can not go to school and the people can not survive. Often physically demanding the general attitude is to help others in need whether elderly or victim to other ailments. A purpose in life that we can all live by to make a better world.
